Women of strength share their inspirational stories

Narrating inspiring stories of hardships and how they overcame them, Dilshad Master, Ira Singhal and Bibi Sandeep Kaur roused the audience with their zest for life and commitment to the society at the India Today Woman Summit 2015.

Ira Singhal, is a sprightly young woman and an IAS officer,  who has a physical condition called scoliosis which is an acute curvature of the spine. Her journey has not been an easy one and despite the negative mindsets of some around her, she kept on the path she had decided for herself.

Dilshad Master is a veteran media professional, who was hit by a speeding bus when she was 24 and was diagnosed with cancer when her daughter was nine-month-old, in addition to many other medical emergencies. She has always taken these setbacks with a pinch of salt and gotten over them by maintaining a positive attitude in life.

Bibi Sandeep Kaur, lives in Amritsar with her adopted daughters numbering over 80. She has seen the worst grit and grime that life has to offer, she has been to jail and watched her people suffer.
