Book Details
Gulab’s classmates call her ‘Stinky Gulab’, and it’s not because she smells. Her father is a manual scavenger, made to clean drains and gutters with his bare hands, even today! “Why do you do it?!” asks Gulab angrily. With determination and a little help from science, she takes the first bold step towards change. Addressing a deep-rooted social evil, the story nudges young minds to question the inequality and indignity that other children like themselves have to face. Strong illustrations evoke the feisty Gulab as she refuses to let school bullies, or society, chip at her spirit.
