My thesis is an exploration of the role of an Indian woman in society, stemming from my study of generations of women in my family. Daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, but always Aurat, meaning “woman: in Hindi. Throughout these various roles, they have always been the backbone of the family, carrying the burden and all the responsibilities on their strong shoulders, gracefully, with their heads held high.
