MUMBAI: In an instance of triumph of will over circumstances, Raushan Jawwad , the fiesty 24-year-old from Jogeshwari who lost both her legs to a train accident in 2008 and later moved the Bombay high court to study medicine, managed to get the prefix of " doctor " attached to her name on Tuesday evening. She was on her way home after writing her college exam papers at Bandra's Anjuman-i-Islam Girls College in the train when she fell on to the tracks and lost her legs under the moving train. She approached the Bombay high court seeking its intervention to secure an admission. Despite qualifying for the entrance exam, the government found her "unfit" to study medicine. The then high court Chief Justice Mohit Shah directed the state to give her admission.
