The supplement Edex of the English daily New Indian Express, carried an article on INSV Tarini on July 30th 2018. It spoke about how a team of six girls went around the globe in 254 days.
It was an all women crew from India that circumnavigated the globe in INSV Tarini. The name was given after the famous Tara Tarini temple in Odisha. The crew had three years of training under Captain Dilip Donde, the first Indian to Circumnavigate the globe solo in 2010.
The team received Nari Shakti Puraskar 2017. The INSV Tarini was built by the Aquarius shipyard in Goa. It is about 56 feet long and has six sails. In a mission called Navika Sagar Parikarma, they braved turbulent waters to circumnavigate the globe and became the first all women crew in the world to create this record by travelling 22,000 nautical miles. To know more about the mission, reach out to the official website of the Indian Navy.
The team of Tarini taught us a lot and presents a practical example of bravery, courage, determination, team spirit, positivity and confidence. Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, ‘I’m possible!’
This is indeed a great success for all the women in the world and the moment to realise the women power. A life lesson to all the women out there to let their daughters grow, treat them well without any bias. Let them speak out loud about their career dreams. Build confidence and positivity in them. Help them to follow their passion. Strengthen them to face problems fearlessly and happily enjoy with them the taste of success.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
