‘Brothel to Bureaucracy’ tells the story of Padmaja, a girl trafficked into prostitution and rescued by a navy officer. It marks her journey post-rescue—of how she is ostracized by her family, her passion for education, her encounter with love, and the pain of loss. The story also highlights the role of her husband, Karanvir, and her brother, contemporary male characters, who influence and impact Padmaja’s life during her difficult years and support her growth, helping her find the strength to deal with adversities and reach for her goals. The book captures Padmaja’s fortitude and determination to use her experience to bring about a change in the political system. It breaks open for readers, the underground reality of a woman’s struggle to be free in a world that wants to keep her bound and bashful.
