5My heart cried.  Mar 31, 2006
By paul
Can your own could be so cruel..... Don't believe so..... Read the pages and cry your heart out with sympathy and empathy. Is love so bad that a girl could be punished to unhumane conditions.

5A land of over a million castrated men.  Mar 31, 2006
By poppey
I was aware that India has many castrated men but over a million? Learn why and how these men castrate their jewels of manhood. Is it just for love? Amazing and a real eye opener true story. A must read for all ages.

4Great reading  Apr 22, 2006
By Pelege "Mr. P"
Reading this book was such a pleasure, it was hard to put it down once I started. Being a person from a "third world country" I could relate very much with a significant portion of the subject matter. The author has so masterfully portrayed her homeland in the book, that reading it is like taking a virtual tour to India. I would therefore recommand this book to anyone who wishes to learn something about India and its culture.

5Highly suggested reading.  Apr 15, 2006
By Philip "real name"


"Because You Are a Girl?" is one of the most fascinating and inspiring books I have ever encountered! I would like to pay a standing ovation to the author for having the courage to open her life for the entire world as she has lived it. Her writing generates exceptionally magnetic effects. After reading the book once, I failed to stay away from it and read it for the second time and enjoyed it as much as I did it for the first time. Highly suggested reading.

By Angel Gonzalez
GREAT READING, INFORMATIVE, AND FLUENT AUTOBIOGRAPHY. MS SHARMA GIVES US VERY DESCRIPTIVE DETAILS AND ACCOUNTS OF HER EXPERIENCES GROWING UP IN INDIA. SHE IS VERY OPEN AND STRAIGHT FORWARD, NOTHING IS HELD BACK. SHE IS NOT ASHAME OF REVEALING FACTS. NON-STOP READING.
