This lawyer-activist wife of the former navy chief, Vishnu Bhagat, is a no-nonsense woman. Very articulate, she speaks with a conviction that people find difficult to ignore. She is one of those not known for cowing down or mincing words. Her hour of trial came on December 30, 1998, when she spoke on her husband's behalf, without sparing anyone and accused the government of communal designs in removing him from his post.

There have been other instances in the past too, that have shown her forthrightness and articulateness. While investigating the 92-93 violence in Mumbai, she opposed the Maharashtra government before the Sri Krishna Commission and managed to show that there was some Shiv Sena complicity in the carnage.

A lawyer for 28 years now, Niloufer Bhagat has created a formidable reputation for herself and despite being considered controversial at times, her ship is far from floundering.
