Book Synopsis
Nafees Fazal became the first woman from a minority community to hold a ministerial post in South India. In her new book Breaking Barriers, co-authored by Sandhya Mendonca, Fazal explores her remarkable life, from her troubled childhood, her tumultuous political journey, and her personal beliefs as a liberal and a devout Muslim. She was known as a bold politician who was not afraid to speak her mind; her difficult childhood experiences shaped her political ambitions. I was brought up by my grandparents till the age of six. My grandfather was the Sheriff of Madras at that time, and though he had such a noble post, he had a sadistic streak in him. He would ill-treat my grandmother, and my uncles did the same with their wives. All of this didn't gel with me; it made me very angry.
