Three years post Nirbhaya, The Quint asks some interesting questions: are women finally able to reclaim their identities, their bodies and their selves? Are they truly nirbhay, fearless and opinionated?
These women are fiercely claiming that they are. Take a look at when The Quint’s ladies put up their own demands for a suitable boy!
