#WeToo:In the Footprints of Bhanwari Devi

It's a transformativemoment, yet itself marked by gaps and gnawing absences. Can we integrate #MeTooand older feminist politics? Can we close the caste/class gap?

My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have faith in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can lose our battle. The battle to me is a matter of joy. The battle is in the fullest sense spiritual. There is nothing material or social in it. For ours is a battle not for wealth or for power. It is battle for freedom. It is the battle of reclamation of human personality.
