Nice one story
You guys forgot to mention her escapade as an ifs in US where she molested her home helper and underpaid her too.Such people are disgrace to their country as well as for the foreign services so do refrain by posting their accolades and asking people to emulate them.

Her father was in IAS, but she still took the help of reservation to get into civil services. Big irony for India and she still says that she belong to a dalit family. I am infuriated that she promotes castism.
Also she has been involved in many pessimistic controversies (she illegaly had a servant hired in her house and she was also accused of molesting her). She and her father also have been accused to have been embroiled in Aadarsh scam.
