How to Survive as a Woman in India


 I am woman in India
And I can’t do 'that' because I am woman
I know the fear of someone I don’t know
I know the strange touches
I know the feeling of disgust
I know a safe way back home
I know all the ogling eyes
I know all the ‘right’ clothes
I know the every right behavior

But today I unlearn everything I am told
I stand against all that I ‘know’ 

And only KNOW that when you are a woman in India, everyday that you exist in your body without apologizing is Activism!
