Raisa Ansari, a Ph.D. graduate in Materials Science, is selling fruits on the streets of Indore because she was unable to find a job. She lashed out on the municipal officials there for having been harassing her and her family by asking them to move places constantly while they were selling fruits, as reported by the Economic Times.
Speaking to ANI, Ansari said, “I have done a Ph.D. in Materials Science and wanted to be a scientist but did not get a job anywhere. I sell fruit here but the municipal officials are bothering us. We are being forced to move from here to there like cattle. I am still looking for a job.”
Raisa’s mother Ayesha Ansari said she herself is not educated but has four children of whom three girls and one boy studied a lot but no one got a job. She had told the Economic Times that she has four children who are well educated, but are now selling fruits due to unemployment.
“When the matter came to marriage, one of the daughters got married. Raisa and Shahjahan Bi wanted an educated boy, but they were not able to find a suitable match because of their complexion and sometimes they rejected the proposal because of dowry, so both are single. Two of my grandchildren are studying biology. They will become doctors,” said Ayesha.
