Generations after Generations, of strong, intelligent, determined women from across India, have made their mark around the world in varied fields—from scientific research to the cricket pitch—with their stellar achievements inspiring a million more. But, pick up a book about the achievements of women in India and you will mostly draw a blank.
Anaya Deshmukh, 8yo, studying at Dhirubhai Ambani International School (Mumbai) has decided to change that. Her mission with “Daughters of India”, a weekly series of short videos, is to highlight Indian women from the past and the present who have achieved great feats.
In association with Spin A Yarn India, she has started a weekly series that explains to children the role these women, The Daughters of India, (https://bit.ly/DaughtersOfIndiaPlaylist ) played in shaping Indias' past, present and how they will shape the future as well.
Spin A Yarn India (www.spinayarnindia.com) is a partner of the United Nations Indigenous Language and the Bhasha Sangam programs and is on a mission to protect, preserve and promote indigenous language, culture and heritage in India and abroad. It is supporting this series as a part of Indias' 75th Independence Day celebrations under the guidance of our Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji.
Anayas' focus is to spread the word about the Daughters of India and thereby ensure our future generations have role models they can emulate.
It is through stories that we define our identity, express our history and culture, learn and engage in all aspects of society. Stories are not only the first medium for communication, education and social integration, but are also at the heart of each person’s unique identity, cultural history and memory.
Anaya believes that with her voice, she can spark the imagination of children just like her.
It's time the Daughters of India stand up and support each other.
