In a powerful tribute at the ‘Bharati-Nari se Narayani’ national meet in New Delhi, Delhi’s Chief Minister Rekha Gupta honored women’s historic battles and sacrifices. The event, attended by prominent women thinkers, became a platform to celebrate feminine prowess.
Gupta lauded the Rashtra Sevika Samiti’s role in women’s mobilization. Speaking passionately, she said, ‘Women don’t merely preserve customs; they drive progress. Look around—this assembly radiates change, painted in vibrant hues unlike the monochrome male-dominated gatherings of the past.’
She extolled women’s innate strengths: their smiles that light up spaces, their endurance that fortifies societies. ‘People often ask how tough it is for a woman to speak boldly among men, to prove herself repeatedly. My answer? Competence transcends gender. Women today excel everywhere, often outshining men.’
Delving into history, Gupta recalled the contributions of social reformers and the pivotal work of Sevika Samiti founder Lakshmibai Kelkar, as depicted in the film ‘Shatak’ marking RSS’s 100 years. Kelkar rallied women to balance familial duties with patriotic service.
The CM’s address ended on a note of gratitude, prostrating virtually before the Samiti sisters for their unwavering guidance in nation-building. Her words resonated, underscoring women’s evolving leadership in modern India.
