Baby Halder
Baby Halder (or Haldar) (born 1973) is an Indian domestic help and author, whose acclaimed autobiography ''Aalo Aandhari (A Life Less Ordinary)'' (2006) describes her harsh life growing up and as a domestic worker,〔 later translated into 21 languages, including 13 foreign languages. ==Early life and marriage== Born in Kashmir,〔 she was abandoned by her birth mother at age 4 in Murshidabad, when her father's habitual drinking forced her mother to leave him.〔 Subsequently, she was raised by an abusive father, an ex-serviceman and driver and her step-mother, with whom she travelled from Kashmir to Murshidabad and finally to Durgapur, West Bengal, where she grew up.〔〕 She went to school intermittently, and dropped off after sixth standard,〔 when at the age of 12, her father married her off to a man 14 years her senior, and a small-time decorator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?219105 )〕〔 She had her first child at the age of 13, and two more in a quick succession. Meanwhile, after her sister was strangled to death by her husband, she started working as domestic servant in the neighbourhood. Finally in 1999, at the age of 25, after years of domestic violence, she left her husband, escaping to Delhi on a train, with her three children on board. Now as a single parent, she started working as a housemaid in New Delhi homes, to support and educate her children, sons Subodh and Tapas and daughter, Piya; and then encountered several exploitative employers.〔〔
