Revolutionary road: Kiran Bedi
My inspiration
66 years young, Social Activist
Because: She has stepped beyond the traditional role assigned to women and set a benchmark of courage for others. Because her stand against corruption put her at the forefront of the neo-nationalist anti-corruption movement in 2011. Because her drive for social justice goes beyond her uniform. Because she was India's first female police officer.
On the radar: "The year 2011 passed by fighting against corruption by way of an effective system in place which does not exist so far. 2012 would be a natural sequel to what was sown and invested during the time," she says. Her focus in the days ahead is to prepare with Team Anna, a compelling ground for an effective Lokpal at the centre and Lokayuktas at the state level.
Successful living: "Convictions, beliefs, value for time and for personal growth and constant contribution for others. These things drive and sustain me."
Through the looking glass: "When I look back, the fondest memory of my career in the Indian police service was when I conducted a meditation programme for prisoners at Tihar Jail in 1994. That set in motion everything that was to come later in life," she says.
The lesson: She outraged politicians with her public enactment of their hypocrisy. "I did not apologise for my actions. I believed in them."
I read , “I Dare” by Kiran Bedi, and I can say that it is one of the most inspiring books (a biography) I have ever read. It is the complete story of the life of the first and highest ranked woman IPS (Indian Police Service) Officer of India. Kiran Bedi is the role model of numerous people. And through this book we can understand how she was able to win the hearts of millions of citizens of the nation.
1. An important lesson which can be learnt from her is time management. She used to have a fixed schedule and never ever wasted a single moment.
2. She was impartial and never favoured anyone, whatever their rank or position. She towed the car of the PM which was parked in the no parking zone.
3. Everywhere she implemented her unique style of work.
4. Always her main focus and the top most priority was the welfare of the citizens. She devised new ideas and methods to carry out the work effectively and efficiently.
5. She was appointed as the ‘Cop of the World’ at the United Nations.
6. She has started two foundations Navjyoti and India Vision Foundation which are doing some great work for the society.
7. Currently she is an active member of the team Anna which is trying to get the Lokpal Bill passed in India.
