Women are the strength of India - its foundation, its present, and its future.
You belong to no one but yourself.
Be loud. Be proud. Fight for your space.
Smash the patriarchy!

Mama,
I last saw you and Papa together more than 35 years ago. Since the day Papa left, I have watched you face everything life threw at you with never-ending courage and dignity. Only Priyanka and I really know what you have been through, and how difficult your life after Papa truly was.
I am happy, and so proud, that your story - тАЬBelonging: A Journey of LoveтАЭ - will finally be read by the millions of people who love you. I know how hard it was for someone as private as you to tell the world your beautiful story.
Today, on his birthday, I can see Papa smiling and looking down proudly at his beautiful Sonia.
Love,
Rahul
Nothing is more painful than seeing a parent grieve their child.
Behind every young life lost is a family carrying pain that will never leave them - and serious questions about a broken education system.
Leaked papers. Cancelled exams. Years of preparation destroyed overnight. Our students are told to work honestly in a system that is not honest with them.
And the Prime Minister has the audacity to speak of тАЬforgivingтАЭ students.
He has not met a single grieving parent. He has not sat with a single student whose future was stolen by a leaked paper.
IndiaтАЩs students do not need his forgiveness. They are owed his apology.
