A very interesting and informative write about this person that is clouded in obscurity. This is a first for me on hearing about this. I trust that justice will be served on her perpetrators. Great write.
Kudos to Dr Pradhan for bringing out the unspoken story of the Suryanelli Girl in moving poetic form. The style is simple and unpretentious. Nobody will know the true story of the Suryanelli Girl unless she herself sings it. The poet plays a crusader's role in highlighting the silent atrocities a poor exploited village girl is forced to live through. Not Pradhan's best poem though. Still I would rate it 10/10 solely because of the courage of taking up a cause and for the offbeat style.
