उत्तर
Bholi, a young woman with mediocre features and pock marks, was referred to as a simpleton and a stupid cow. She was forced to attend school, which ended up being for her a blessing in disguise. Her teacher helped her gain self-assurance. The knowledge she received in school equipped her with the tools she needed to think independently, speak out for herself, and view the world differently. For the sake of her father's prestige, she consented to marry a mature man; but, when Bishambhar demanded money and began demeaning her father, she put up a fight and refused to wed such a despicable and greedy guy. She struggled for her pride and dignity by standing up for herself in the face of social dogmas and the patriarchal system. Sulekha, which means to write anything extremely well, was her name.
In the end, she proudly and dignifiedly wrote the chapter of her life that serves as an example for countless females of future generations. She lives up to her name Sulekha by developing into an intelligent, capable, and powerful lady.
