With nowhere else to go and a baby to feed, Sindhutai started begging in trains and on the streets in order to survive. Fearing for her safety and that of her daughter, she spent her nights in cemeteries and cowsheds.⁠
It was during these difficult times that Sindhutai began spending time with orphaned children & realized how difficult life was for them. ⁠

She adopted around a dozen orphans & took on the responsibility of keeping them clothed & fed,even if it meant begging for longer hours.

We want @MaxLifeIns to be responsible and correct their actions and communications. The ad portrays the reason for investments are son-child's education abroad and daughter's wedding. How about son's wedding and daughter's education? Or no investment at wedding at all!

Recent stats quoting sources .
More than 32,500 cases of rape were registered with police in 2017, about 90 a day, according to the most recent govt data.
According to the NCRB data, 4,15,786 rape cases were reported across India between 2001 & 2017
On average, 67 women were raped every day across the country during these 17 years, or, in other words, about 3 women had been raped every hour.
