25. 40 marks Letter to the Nation This if for all social workers intellectuals, NGOs, human rights organisations,

women’s commission and citizens of India, an abused and helpless tribal woman, is asking you to answer her why she is being brutally tortured and she wants to know–

That by giving me current, by stripping me naked, or by brutally assaulting me inserting stones in my ***- will the problem of Naxalism end ? Why so many atrocities on women? I want to know from all countrymen.When I was being stripped, that time I felt someone should come and save me and it did not happen. In Mahabharata , Draupadi’s honour was saved when she called upon Krishna Whom should I have called , I was given to them ( police ) by the court . But now ,I will not say that save my honour as I have nothing left. Yes, I want to know from all of you that why was I Tortured?

My Education has been mocked at. I got my education at Gandhian school Rukmani Kanya Ashram, Dimripal. I strongly believe in the power of my education. Whether its naxal problem or any other, I can face it. Education is my tool for survival and pen is my weapon of choice . Still they have put me in jail as a naxal supporter. Mahatma Gandhi also had the same tools. If Mahatma Gandhi was alive today, then he would also have been put behind bars as a naxal supporter? I want to know from all of you
