Madam Sir is an engaging read and a masterclass in courage and resilience.
The book follows the personal and professional journey of Bihar’s first woman IPS Officer, Manjari Jaruhar, offering an inspiring account of her groundbreaking career.

It tells the story of a sheltered girl whose parents envisioned a traditional life for her—marriage into a respectable family and a domestic life. However, destiny had other plans. From a timid girl to a fearless leader, the book traces her struggles, growth, and determination to carve her own path in a male-dominated field.
Written in a simple and engaging style, Madam Sir offers readers a glimpse into key historical events from the perspective of an IPS officer, including the Bhagalpur blindings, the Bokaro City riots following Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s assassination, Babri Masjid demolition, and the political landscape under Lalu Prasad Yadav’s reign.

The book also takes readers into the author's days at the National Police Academy, where she trained probationary officers. It sheds light on the challenges faced by police personnel, including the heartbreaking loss of batchmates and trained officers who laid down their lives in the line of duty while battling terrorists, Naga rebels, Naxalites, ULFA, and other insurgents.

Madam Sir is a must-read for anyone interested in stories of resilience, leadership, and service to the nation.
