Power Of Nisa is a web of sixteen characters covered in sixteen different short stories based on the lives of women in modern India, some heard and unheard; Rumaisa, a teenage girl who was crying on the ghats of Kolkata, didn’t know the struggles of Vidhya while she was fighting for her own. Still, Rukhsar’s father broke the stereotype, and why was Suman being criticised? Little Zoya wasn’t aware of the destination. Sargam took eight years to come out of the web, which was spun by someone else, and Niharika’s long journey wasn’t easy; It still pains her heart, but Kanak knocked out the odds, whereas Anokhi faced the rocks. Advocate Rohima could have ended her life, but she chose this. Various stigmas in Indian society are still barriers for women in the 21st century, where a widow is asked to eat curd and rice. Still, these sixteen strong women from different segments of Indian society chose to speak and stand for themselves differently. “With poems, sketches and illustrations, you’ll meet and feel each character’s presence.” These women know the articulation of handling the scattered life like water in a mould. “Stories that’ll make you rethink the perception of life and your existence as a human.”
