Before becoming the President of India, Droupadi Murmu endured unimaginable personal tragedy, losing her husband, both of her sons, her mother, and her brother within a few short years. Yet instead of allowing grief to define her, she chose compassion over bitterness, purpose over despair, and service over surrender.
