The Search for identity: The journey of an Indian Girl was written in the light of Indian being a patriarchal society since ages, where the differences between the feelings, dreams and aspirations for girls and boys are considered differently until today.

The book talks about the birth of the girl and how she grows up in the surrounding of the patriarchy. She grows, blossoms and turns into a young girl with dreams and tonnes of strengths. The book further dwells upon how she faces various challenges and overcomes them through her strong self-identity and comes up with flying colours.
