Nidar - Without Fear

The Scarcity of Fearless Women in India

The Nidar Knife is created as a Talisman using the symbolism of Hindu Goddesses for Indian women, to invoke their inner strengths and increase bonds of sisterhood. Standing up against the violence together to make a change in our society. The abundance of fear is what we face as women in the modern India. Our cities have appeared on the rape capital cities of the world lists and women everywhere are always subconsciously afraid of venturing out too far of their comfort zones. Recent events have lead to country-wide protest in India, with women everyone joining in and trying to stand up for their rights and change the system.
