"#SHEInspites My mom #KalpanaDhar is a fighter and inspiring. I belong to a very conservative family. Since childhood only i have never seen my grand ma my even my aunt taking participating in any family matters. All decisions taken by the male members of our family. None of my last 4 generations ladies have dared to change it. But with my birth i witness things changing. My mom Kalpana Dhar took initiative to change this history of my family and create a new rule for which all women need to be confident smart and educated enough to stand so that they also sit with their husbands brothers uncles or sons in my family in regards of any vital decision. She protected mine and all my female members of the family to protect their self-confidence and should be also given equal decision to choose life-partner. All ladies in my family can say what to eat what to wear where to go of their choice. She raised her voice to say all in my family have the right to educate, make themselves capable enough to handle their own issues. She went ahead on behalf of all women in my family and say that we are equally important our ideas are also creative and our decisions also matter a lot.
