Gazala, a Muslim student, was adjudged the best Sanskrit scholar in November last year, but she was handed over the gold medals by dean arts Prof Shashi Shukla during a faculty-level medal distribution ceremony on February 10. What adds to Gazala's achievements is that she is the daughter of a daily wager who succumbed to cancer. Her two younger brothers and an elder sister gave up studies so that Gazala could pursue her dreams. Gazala has been reciting Sanskrit shlokas, the Gayatri Mantra and Saraswati Vandana at cultural programmes in the University.
