Writing with Fire

Against all odds, Khabar Lahariya - India’s only all-female news network – has gained a strong following. Initiated and managed by an ambitious group of Dalit women, the news outlet is making the move from print to digital. Armed with a modern-day weapon – the smartphone, this group of journalists reports various political and social issues. The story of these heroines is entrancing and enables a new and different understanding of the democratic experience in a segmented society.
