Tahira Kashyap claps back at anti-feminist groups criticising Women’s Day  celebrations 

Author Tahira Kashyap delivered a powerful message on Women’s Day, standing firm against anti-feminist groups who oppose the celebration of the day.

In a video shared on her Instagram handle, the star wife and writer addressed the misconceptions surrounding feminism and reaffirmed the importance of celebrating Women’s Day as a symbol of equality, not superiority. Sharing her video, she wrote, “Not for the men who are comrades in this movement; being feminist doesn’t mean you hate men or feel superior to them. It’s all about equality; that’s it #HappyWomensDay #HappyWomensDay2024.” 

In the clip, Tahira could be heard saying, “Wishing myself and all of you a very happy Women’s Day. But there are a few people who get upset about this. Anti-feminist groups are against celebrating this day, to my utter dismay. They say that the wrong message is being sent, that there’s a movement happening in films, books, and social media that is misleading others.” She added, “When you are neither a daughter nor a feminist, it just seems like a pointless movement. Why do men feel threatened by progress? Why does it hurt their ego? Why does their success feel like a personal rejection to you? Today or any day, we will celebrate Women’s Day. This movement will not stop.”
