Blog: Activist Kamla Bhasin Will Live Through Every Child Reading Her Work

"A father asks his daughter: Study? Why should you study?I have sons aplenty who can study. Girl, why should you study?For my dreams to take flight, I must studyKnowledge brings new light, so I must studyFor the battles I must fight, I must studyBecause I am a girl, I must study."Today we lost the woman who wrote these fiery lines, Kamla Bhasin, the women's rights activist whose work and life were  an inspiration to others. Her contribution to India's feminist movement was unmatchable. Bhasin died at the age of 75 after battling cancer.
