BINDU GOPAL RAO
OVERCOMING THE ODDS

When a college student meets with a bad accident that amputates her right leg, it is only natural that her whole world turns upside down. However, if that same girl beats all the odds to become a full-time practicing lawyer and a motivational speaker you know she is special – a word that describes Carol Jagtiani perfectly.

“My father is a Sindhi and my mother is from Nagaland where I was also born. I lived there until I was 15, after which I came to Mumbai for my higher education and then eventually 5 years of law school.” Carol’s happy-go-lucky life took a turn when she met with a terrible railway accident in her last year of law school. “As I was about to board the train, it started to move and I slipped and fell under the wheels. I was dragged until my right leg got cut off and I had a severe head injury too. I was rushed to Sion Hospital where I was actually declared dead on arrival,” she shares of the chilling account.
