But I have not seen even a single autobiography of a person born and brought up in the shepherd community'. He adds that it is in writing about themselves that people gain a sense of self-respect. Shepherd's evocative memoirs reveal the struggle for education and dignity that a great majority of Indians undergo. As a little boy herding sheep and goats, he and his brother were the first to go to school. The author writes of his long and often interrupted journey to becoming a writer and an intellectual, without support and having to overcome adversities.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shepherd, Kancha Ilaiah","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":49964229034323,"sku":"XV89381345412","price":1.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/shepherd-kancha-ilaiah-from-a-shepherd-boy-to-an-intellectual-my-memoirs-xv89381345412-60467538231635.jpg?v=1734583271","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/from-a-shepherd-boy-to-an-intellectual-my-memoirs","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
