“Ee gaon ki ladkiyan bahut damdar hai, inka chhedo nahi, maarin tumka.”

(Trans: The girls from this village are very brave, don’t tease them, they will beat you up)

Vandana Yadav, a Class 8 student in Devamau village near Lucknow, was stabbed 17 times while fighting off an attack by three young men near her village. But she survived the attack and later identified the goons. The village is proud of her. The whole story here, reported by Shirin Abbas for Lucknow Newsline.
