Jashn: An Awakening | Geetika K Bakshi

"In our society, even alcoholism, drug addiction are treated as illnesses and people are entitled to be counselled, but if I tell anyone about my thing, I'll be judged in every aspect for sure. Some people might even cross-check the date to match my visit with the day a petty or huge theft happened at their places," exclaimed Shubhavi.

"The shame and burden of being caught as a shoplifter cannot be erased ever; never, people will become hawk around you throughout life."

Such is the shame Shubhavi and women like her face in society, leading their lives with a bleak future. Will this ever stop? Will these women take a stand for themselves against the stereotypes of society? Will their voice create a new beginning for the aspiring generation? Relatable sagas of women unfold as they plant a seed, a revelation; an awakening.
