We all know darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can. But do we really sit back and think about it? We generally categorise people as good or bad, which is a human tendency. But don't really bother to look out for the good in bad. Dr Vartika Nanda's struggle to find the same could be well described as: courageous and empowering.
The stories of the women mentioned in the beginning of the article are truly inspiring. Even though they are having hard times, they are making the best use of the time they have. Sadly most people are not aware of such activities taking place in prisons. The only idea that we have about prisons is from films, books and newspapers. The fact that there are only 18 prisons in India for women, depicts the condition of women prisoners of our country. From the article we can realise that the authorities are not bothered to improve their conditions, and in such a situation how can their reformation be possible? It is sad that along with these women, the future of their children are also compromised. Hope the stories of Kamala and Femida reaches other female prisoners and become an inspiration for them to make the best of their time. #tinkatinka #prisonreforms #humanrights.
If provided with the opportunity to explore the inner side of their personality, inmates can emerge as better human beings. This is also important for the well-being of the society. #vartikananda #tinkatinka #prison #jail
