पुर्व-कमैया कौशल्या चौधरीको परिवार ३ पुस्तादेखि नै कमैया थिए। उनी बाल्यकालमा जमिन्दारका लागि बिना ज्याला काम गर्थिन्। उनको परिवारमा धेरै जस्तो बेला खान नै पुग्दैन थियो। केटी भएकाले उनीले सानोमा पढ्ने अवसर धेरै पाइनन्। तर पनि उनी एक स्थानिय स्तरको महिला संगठनमा सचिव भने भइन्। त्यसपछि उनी थारु मुक्तिका लागि एक संस्थाको कोषाध्यक्ष बनेर राति-राति बैठकमा जान्थिन्। २०५७ को आन्दोलन सुरु भएपछि भने उनी दिन-रात आन्दोलनमा नै लागेर बिताइन्। अहिले भने उनी लुथरन विश्व महासंघमा आबध्द छिन्।
Born to a family bonded in labour as a Kamaiya for three generations, Kaushalya Chaudhary is an ex-Kamaiya woman who has spent her life committed to fighting for this struggle. Her childhood was one of hardship; born into servitude, she often had to work for her landlord, even without wages. Despite this, her family rarely had enough money for food. While she had not pursued enough education, she did become the secretary of a local feminist organization. Later, she managed to become a treasurer for a Tharu-rights-oriented institution fighting the Kamaiya system. Often operating in secrecy; she spent her nights in covert meetings for the Tharu cause. Eventually, as the revolution rolled out in 2057 B.S., she would spend day and night protesting and participating in rallies across the country. Currently, she is affiliated with Lutheran World Federation.
