Feminist Fridays #21: SaaShaktih - her struggle is her power

One of the leading exponents of Odissi dance, Leena Mohanty is taking on feminist themes in her latest dance production. SaaShaktih portrays the life of a girl child, her encounters with social realities and her struggle against gender discrimination. We speak to Leena about why she has decided to pursue these contemporary themes of women's liberation in a traditional Indian dance production.
