Abstract
Power of inclusive education for girls:
“Par laga liye hai humne Pinjron mein kaun bathega
zara sun lo”
(We have got wings, who will sit in the cage, let the
whole world hear this) i
-“Meri icha haiki main apne matapita ki yogya beti
kahlyaoon” (I wish to be recognised as an able
daughter of my mother and father)
-“Mein apne illake ki pehli graduate hoon” (I’m the
ii
first graduate from my block )
-“Apna naam kamaoon, par kuch galat naa kar
jaoon, iss se dar jati hoon. Umeed yahi rakhti hoon ki
aab mauka mila hai to kuch karke dikhaoongi”
(I want to earn a good name, but I’m scared of doing
something which will be labeled wrong. I hope that
given this opportunity I will be able to prove myself.)
-“Darpok aur bheegi billi ki pechaan ko chodkar,
pardon se bahar niklne ka safar hai mera”. (I have
decided to abandon the societal perception of being
weak and afraid. My journey has been that of
coming out of the veil of invisibility)
-“Maine swaal uthaana tai kiya hai” (I have decided
to question the social norms); Besharam banna tai
kiya hai maine” (I have chosen to be shameless)
