The doctors found a minor fracture in her right wrist and asked her to take rest.

Clinton is in India for the promotion of her book ‘What Happened’ that talks about her defeat in 2016 presidential election. “In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I’ve often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net. Now I’m letting my guard down,†Clinton writes in opening part of her book.
Clinton has had several stumbles in the past. The first noted incident was in 2011 when she was boarding a plane to Yemen. Then again while boarding a plane for a rally in North Carolina in Oct 2016. And, just months before the presidential election she collapsed while attending the 9/11 Memorial, which was later confirmed as a result of pneumonia.
There was even an infamous tweet by Donald Trump before the election that read: “Hillary Clinton is weak and ineffective – no strength, no stamina.â€
