Sampa : Vishwas, Dhairya aur Sankalp ki anuthi dastan – Meenakshi Choudhary, Sanjeev Paliwal (Hindi)

Description

It was a day like any other when Sampa’s life changed forever. An English teacher in a small village school in Haryana, she suddenly found herself thrust into the national spotlight. The call she received carried devastating news: the Merchant Navy ship on which her husband, Ravinder, was serving had been hijacked by Somali pirates.

Sampa had no details of her husband’s profession, nor did she know where on the world map was the place from where he had been taken hostage. Yet, the final words on that phone call propelled her out of her quiet, secure world and into a relentless struggle to rescue him.

Sampa: Vishvas, Dhairya, aur Sankalp ki Anoothi Dastaan is not fiction but a true account from 2011. In her quest to bring her husband home, Sampa knocked on every possible door in the political corridors of power. Despite the limitations of official strategies, the challenges of bureaucracy, and her own personal struggles, she persevered. With the unexpected help of a compassionate individual from a neighbouring country, she achieved what had seemed impossible.
Based on extensive conversations with Sampa, journalists Meenakshi Choudhary and Sanjeev Paliwal have documented the extraordinary courage and determination of an ordinary woman who refused to give up.
