Svah Shankita : Swabhimaani

Is self respect that important in life that one should face any storm of life rather than compromising on self-respect, especially when it comes to self-respect of a girl? Does self-respect pay off in the end or leads you nowhere? What are the doubts and fears, which every girl struggles through within; when she steps out in the world and how does she cope up with them? This book is all about answering such questions through a story.

Being a self respecting person and the problems and rewards that come with it are depicted in the story. As you read, you will feel that either you have experienced the similar incidents and gone through similar feelings yourself or you would have witnessed the same somewhere in your surroundings. Self respect has lost it’s importance with time and in other materialist things.

Being a witness to the changing times all these years, I believe the situations and circumstances mentioned in the story are rather more frequent nowadays and the concept and ideas depicted in the story hold more value today as compared to when this story was written. That’s the reason this story has been published today. The story ends up with an answer to the question, if being over protective is right or wrong plus if self respect should be compromised or not, in order to win the battle of life and whether it makes you win or lose in life. “
