News 18  

After receiving recognition in the Times list of 100-most influential global personalities, 82-year-old Bilkis Bano said that she is happy with the honour and she didn’t expect this. Bilkis Bano who is known as the ‘Dadi of Shaheen Bagh’ became famous for her sit-in protests at Shaheen Bagh during the anti-CAA agitation. “Bilkis, along with thousands of women who joined her in Shaheen Bagh, a neighborhood in New Delhi, became the symbol of resistance in a nation where the voices of women and minorities were being systematically drowned out by the majoritarian politics of the Modi regime,” writes journalist Rana Ayub in her note in Times on the 82-year-old daadi of Shaheen Bagh. The Shaheen Bagh protest went on for 101 days before it was cleared by the Delhi Police on March 24 in view of coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions to curb the spread.
