Sometimes such practices are also present in society, which are against human rights and respect of women, but still deep roots are made. One such bitter truth came from Pimpri Chinchwad in Maharashtra, where newlywed women in a specific community must undergo ‘virgin test’. A female worker who raised his voice against this practice was socially boycotted and punished by her own community. This matter is related to the Kanjarbhat community, which recognizes this evil practice. The practice of the Kanjarbhat community and the virginity test is considered compulsory to do ‘virgin test’ of a newly married bride after marriage in the Kanjarbhat community. This test is performed at the first night of the bride, which aims to confirm her virginity. This habit is not only a violation of women’s personal rights, but also harms their dignity and respect. The women’s rights activist Aishwarya Bhat Tamichikar and her husband Vivek Tamichikar cast their voice on this practice. They are working on a campaign under the name “Stop the V-Rewells” against this evil practice. Aishwarya Bhat Tamichikar’s battle’s 23-year-old Aishwarya raised an open voice against this practice and demanded to abolish this evil practice from her community. But as a result, there was great injustice to him. During Navratri he was forbidden to attend the Dandia festival in Pimpri Chinchwad. The people of the community warned him that he had spoiled the name of the community by raising his voice against virginity testing. A complaint was filed against him and he was downloaded from cultural programs. Aishwarya said the music was suddenly stopped during the Dandia program and that her mother came home with her. When he protested, his mother said that the people of the community were angry. The organizers resumed the music, but may not participate in the program. The incident made it clear that the community has a strict attitude to suppress their opposition. Aishwarya’s husband Vivek Tamichikar also protested against this practice. He says his wife is facing social boycott due to opposition to virginity testing, which is not only unconstitutional, but also a violation of the fundamental rights of women. Vivek made it clear that he would struggle against this evil practice at every level and protect the rights of women. Women are a threat to the human rights of women. It not only violates the privacy of women, but also puts it under social pressure and spiritual tension. In today’s times, when society takes steps to give equal rights to women, it is very important to eliminate such bad practices from the root. Social workers such as Aishwarya and Vivek are the hope of change, which challenges traditional and superstitious practices. Their struggle is inspiring to spread awareness in society, protect women’s rights and establish equality. Conclusion The practice of the virginity test in the Kanjarbhat community is a serious problem that violates the dignity and human rights of women. Aishwarya Bhat Tamichikar showed the first look at change in society by taking daring steps against this practice, but she still stands in front of her own community. Social awareness, legal action and empowerment of women are required to eliminate such practices. Aishwarya and her husband’s struggle symbolize that the freedom and respect of women will remain incomplete until we raise their voice against these practices. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of every person to stand against these crimes and increase voice for equality and rights. Only then will there be a very positive change in society and women can live their lives with independent and respect.
