Following the horrific rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata, former sociology researcher Rimjhim Sinha’s Facebook post sparked a nationwide movement. She organized the "The Night Is Ours" protest on August 14, aiming to highlight that while India gained independence on this night in 1947, women still lack true freedom. The post went viral, leading thousands, including marginalized groups, to join the protest. Sinha, overwhelmed by the response, now plans to push forward with a list of demands as the Calcutta High Court orders a CBI probe into the case.
