NEW DELHI:Actress Andrea Tariang, who featured in a key role in \"Pink\" -- a movie about women's rights -- has continued her crusade for women empowerment off-screen by joining a campaign 'Ab Samjhauta Nahin'. <\/p>\n
The campaign, by ITC's brand for personal care Vivel, is aimed at inspiring women to break free from the shackles of age-old societal mindsets, as \"freedom does not come with compromises\". <\/p>\n
At the recently concluded Kolkata Literary Meet, Andrea, along with some noted women authors, journalists, and singer Vidya Shah, got together for a special recitation of a tweaker version of Rabindranath Tagore's poem \"Where The Mind Is Without Fear\". <\/p>\n
Others who are part of the initiative are authors Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Volga, Vaidehi, Paramita Sathpathy, and Priyanka Mukherjee, activist Ruchira Gupta and journalists Rana Ayyub and Sagarika Ghose. <\/p>\n
They recited the poem, asking daughters to awaken to a world where they need to put a stop to compromising and to \"uncondition\" themselves and their inner spirit, read a statement. <\/p>\n
For the campaign, the last line of the poem has been tweaked: \"Into that heaven of freedom, Daughter, (daughter instead of my Father), let my country awake\". <\/p>\n
