A Neglected Child

By Dr. H S Swadhin Kumar Pal

Neglect is not just the absence of love; it is the silent pain of being unseen, unheard, and unacknowledged. It is the loneliness that lingers even in a crowded room, the longing for recognition that never arrives, and the constant struggle to prove one's worth in a world that refuses to take notice. I was born into a world where expectations were high, but affection was scarce. From a young age, I felt the weight of isolation, rejection, and the quiet suffering of being a forgotten child. My life was not one of privilege or indulgence-it was a journey marked by struggle, perseverance, and an unyielding determination to rise above my circumstances. This book is not just a chronicle of my life; it is a testament to resilience, survival, and the relentless pursuit of identity. From being sent away to Balasore as a young boy, separated from my family and familiar surroundings, to navigating the rigid expectations of religious life, and finally breaking free to carve my own path in education and academia-every chapter is a reflection of the battles I fought to reclaim my sense of self. There were moments when I questioned my worth, times when I felt like an outsider even within my own home. I struggled to be seen, to be heard, to be understood. But in my solitude, I found strength. In my rejection, I found purpose. And in my struggles, I discovered a deeper calling-to prove that no child should ever feel neglected, no dream should ever be dismissed, and no person should ever be defined by their past. This book is for every child who has felt unwanted, for every soul who has struggled in silence, and for every person who has been told they are not enough. You are seen. You are heard. And your story matters. A Neglected Child is more than just my journey-it is a voice for all those who have been overlooked. It is a reminder that no matter how difficult the road, we have the power to rise, to heal, and to define our own destiny. This is my story. But in many ways, it is also yours. Let the journey begin.
