Over time, forms of exploitation of women and harassment have changed and to some extent they have reduced too. Thus our understanding of feminism and the needs for women empowerment have also changed. Besides challenging the rigid norms of a prejudiced society, we need that constant flame of self-confidence, belief and optimism to overcome all the existing impediments that stop us from being ourselves. Be it body shaming, undermining one's worth, being excessively conscious or putting ourselves on the pedestals of 'righteousness' that an age-old patriarchal society has set; we need to fight it all, and fight it we will.

Celebrating valour, spirit of the dauntless female, undying patriotism and remembering the most celebrated fearless Queen of all times, Manikarnika Tambe on her 188th birth anniversary.
