Karishma’s Grandmother tried to Kill Her: Her Story «: Karishma survived infancy through the vigilance of her mother. But when she was not yet a year old, her paternal grandmother started physically abusing Karishma. Over time the beatings intensified such that there were times when Karishma would pass out with the pain. She often had bruising all over her. The grandmother even taught Karishma’s young brother how to strangle her. She told him,
“If you kill your sister, you will be even more loved by us.”
