In what can be termed as a sheer case of shame for our society, it has come to forth that India’s ace dancer Tara Balgopal is leading a miserable life today. The 80 year old is residing in absolute poverty Delhi’s Rajouri Garden, where she is passing each day on charity.
The famous performer of the country's most noted dance forms - Kathak, Bharatanatyam, and Kathakali, Balgopal also held a respectable post of Reader in English at Delhi University's Rajdhani College. She also became the first Indian teacher to conduct UG courses on All India Radio in 1963.
 
However, post her retirement; she hasn't been given her due benefits by the University. She has filed an open case against the university which added to her woes saying it has lost Balgopal's file.
 
Banks and insurance companies have worsened the matter by paying no heed to her misery besides withholding her money and personal property. Balgopal is seeking the Indian government’s help in her fight with the authorities.
