Justice for Anjana – When India fell flat on her face
It’s been 6 years since the world learnt about the most horrified gang-rape in our country. And India has seen millions more after that. For this one though, do we knowingly shut our eyes? While plans to bring in 2019 were in full swing the world over, India fell flat on her face; and the […]
