Ma'am Very Rare are personalities like you!! Blessed are your parents to have a child like you!! Very Inspiring to millions of people round the globe!! Thanks for your talk.

There are too many people who are willing to discredit her achievements, and they are shallow minded. They are cynics who see negativity all around them. Kiran Bedi is an amazing super cop and a woman with a passion to improve quality of life and public governance. She has to be credited with her extraordinary results in prison reformation. Over the years, Indian jails have witnessed changes and become process oriented. Also, in her recent role as Lt Governor of Puducherry, she has brought about many changes in civic and municipal administration.

You can just feel the energy and the strength of that woman. Incidentally, I'm from Sri Lanka and I had the good fortune of meeting a previous inmate of a Sri Lankan prison who was reformed through the prison education system here. He explained how his knowledge improved dramatically and now he meditates daily and is a model citizen.
