Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is a defiant rejection of the ‘good Indian girl’ myth

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is a defiant rejection of the ‘good Indian girl’ myth

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is not just a memoir; it's a declaration of war against cultural conformity and a powerful roadmap for reclaiming one's authentic self. The title, a label often hurled at Pillai for daring to defy the rigid expectations placed on "good Indian girls" (Bad Betis), is proudly worn as a badge of honour. This raw and unflinching feminist memoir charts the author's incredible journey from a harrowing, poverty-stricken childhood in a Mumbai slum to becoming a celebrated global voice for South Asian women's issues in London.

Pillai grew up amidst the stark realities of domestic violence -a violent, alcoholic father and her mother who was later brutally murdered yet she refused to let these traumas extinguish the "fire in her belly." Her early life became an active battle against patriarchy, a fierce determination to reject the script laid out for her: arranged marriage, silence, and submission. She fought for her education, forged a path to financial independence, and eventually emigrated, carving out a new, successful life for herself, founding the award-winning Masala Podcast and the feminist platform Soul Sutras.
