Did you know that the girls in IITR weren't allowed to leave their hostels after 11 PM, a few years ago ? (Yeah! our campus was much so called #sanskari back then 🙄) But now times have changed - because of an actual protest in IITR against such policies! So here we present a short story of the legendary #PINJARA_TOD_MOVEMENT in R-Land , by Aashaka Shah who witnessed and was a part of this change. Stay tuned for the full upcoming interview on MDG Talks!✌
