My prison journey : an IncreMy prison journey : an Incredible Achievements dible Achievements (ePub)

Have you ever heard or read about a world record in education in the most adverse environment of the prison? Probably the answer would be 'No'. I must admit that I was fortunate to accomplish such an achievement in the prison and outside the prison. I am very curious to share with you and reveal to you all the aspects and secrets of my achievement that led to the world record in education in prison.

'Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records' a maxim by famous maxim writer 'William Arthur Ward' which has been proved appropriate by my achievement. Because I accomplished this achievement in the most adverse and indifferent prison environment. The goal was very tough and difficult because education and prison are very contradictory and conflicting in nature. Generally, studying in a prison environment is a very difficult task. It's like swimming in the opposite direction of the flow.

Have I also revealed what kind of environment is there in prison? From outside, only projections and guesses can be made about it. Most prisoners in prison suffer from negative factors such as anxiety, frustration, worry, fear, depression, despair, anger, feelings of retaliation, etc. Sometimes they may lose their mental stability and mental balance. Incarceration makes life difficult for prisoners inside the prison and outside the prison after their release. In such a prison's negative environment, it is very difficult to form a circle of mental peace, mental balance, and positive attitude for noble and sacred activities like education which needs a special role of the sound mind. At the age of fifty, I began to study again in life in an adverse and negative environment of prison.

Even though both my place of study (prison) and my age (50+) did not match with the activities of study, I completed 31 educational courses in this adverse environment of the prison, At the same time, performing the duty of managing study centers located inside the prison premises and set a world record in education. This book has been written with my sublime desire to share my immense pleasure and contentment of my unique, unparalleled achievement and how I accomplished it. After being released from prison, I continued my study while doing a full-time job at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Open University and completed 23 more educational courses taking the tally of my educational courses to 54. I completed them with good grades and in just 12 years. Being a prisoner is destiny; but establishing a world record as a prisoner in education in prison is a testament to the ability to shape one's personality with strong morale, self-confidence, and inner strength.

This book is based on my prison experience or my prison journey and in my prison experience, education was at the center. I chose the medium of this book to convey my message to my readers revealing how I accomplished this gigantic task. Hopefully, this life story will prove to be inspiring to you and will encourage you with great vigor and passion to achieve your unique, unimaginable achievements and to conquer the highest peaks in life.

With best wishes.
