  • Fantastic pod! Old-school and informational, but creatively shot and edited, with a cool soundtrack that adds to the film, an uplifting message, a clear narrative, and an insight into a world not many people could access. I like it lots! What are you working on next, Shagun?

  • It's great to see self empowered women. I'm sure they will win the fight. Anything that is suppressed for too long will eventually explode. Nice POD

  • Definitely one of the best and most important news items I've heard this year: Maybe even this decade!

  • This is a direct result of the disgusting western women influencing the developing world. They pass along their poisonous attitudes, general unhappiness, and disdain for anything male. I know this "looks" like a great thing, but remember the video is made to promote it, to exaggerate. Also remember that the elites want women working and out of the house. Then, 100% of the population is taxed and the kids are easier to manipulate in school, daycare, etc..

  • This was fantastic and inspiring to watch...as an Indian Man born and raised in America, I have grown up being inspired by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. and Tupac and so many other elements...one of my greatest inspirations in my Mother...she has instilled an appreciation and respect of women and all people in general, but specifically because of the ignorant, selfish and inhumane treatment of women in India and other places in the world, there is a great need for women to take those rights, freedoms and opportunities that any women deserves as a human and Child of God...
    It was great to see these women find family and a reason to live in each other...the poverty and human rights violations in India can break a person down, and through each other, these women have risen and are daily making a positive difference for themselves and other women that join them...and all in pink...

  • for an formally undeucated woman to rise up and organize intellegently for a cause she believes in is incouraging.shes not only breaking barriors but shes teaching young women self impowerment and self sufficientcy and that will help them for years to come.

  • Anyone who's an activist(Emphasis on the ACTIVE in activist) should follow the example of these women. You can't sit around and wait for the people who are enforcing laws that are against your rights, to change. You must take the law into your own hands. By force, if neccessary. The people have the power. If it weren't for us, the governments of the world would not be IN power. People say that they want change, and they have stances like "anarchist", and they boast about how much they hate the gov't, but I have yet to see a much-needed, massive uprising of the people against their suppressors. If we really wanted to end world hunger, stop police brutality, end homelessness, end the war in Iraq, end all of the injustices that the gov't has made us complacent to, we would have done it already. Remember that scene from V for Vendetta? All of those people against their gov't. The gov't didn't stand a chance. If only life imitated art.

  • I found this pod very interesting and I just had to voice my support. It is time for these women to be heard. Only they can make their lives better. I wish them the best and hope that more struggling countries' female populations will catch on to this. As for the negativity, its just a shame that anyone would think making home life safer for any human would be a threat.
