Illiterate saas helps bahu clear UPSC exam


AHMEDABAD : For an Ahmedabad woman who has cracked the UPSC exam this year, her mother-in-law has been the unfailing source of support and inspiration. This mother-in-law has dared to breach community restrictions to help her daughter-in-law triumph in the exams.

Shakuntala Vanzara was born to a nomadic tribe which did not allow girls to go to school. Hence she is illiterate but made a promise to herself that girls in her family would get the best education. She has fulfilled her mission — while her daughter Manjita Vanzara is a deputy superintendent of police, her daughter-in-law Sudhambika Vanzara cleared the UPSC exam on Thursday. Sudhambika belongs to Karnataka and secured the 1,061st rank.

“Whenever I used to enter the kitchen, my mother-in-law would send me back to the library to study,” said Sudhambika who wants to work for corruption-free governance.

Shakuntala had a tough time educating her daughters. She faced resistance from the elders of her community and also from the members of her extended family. But she continued to encourage her daughters and helped them achieve their dreams.
