Bleeding Queens  (Hindi, Paperback, Palak Kundra)

I want to tell the world that, no matter what, I’m proud that I’m a woman. The lives of women are degrading day by day throughout the world. Every woman has survived a dark phase in her life, even if that lasted a minute, an hour or a day, shouting out to this patriarchal society, “I’m not a coward or weak!” Bleeding Queens is the story of Diljit, a young girl from Delhi, whose wish was to follow in the footsteps of her idol – Deepika Padukone. But fate, which had something else in store for her, forcibly took what was hers, and she vows to get justice and win back her dignity and her family’s happiness, peace, freedom and smiles. To fight those who butchered her body, mind and soul, Diljit murders her fears and nightmares, not just for herself, but also for the whole of womankind. She gives herself new wings to fly above the dark clouds of low mentality and barbaric thinking, calling out to others to raise their voices, rebel, and to usher in the much-needed change.
