Sat Sri Akal! I just wanted to thank you for making the video "Kaurageous." I feel like I am in my cage sometimes too! In my circle of friends, I must say the usual perpetrators are our parents more than our brothers. (They often have our backs). It is an issue that many indian girls face, including me. I am much less "caged" now since I have started attending college and have more "excuses" to stay outside of the house. My principles and maryada follow me where I go, but I wish my parents (and many indian parents) had more trust and belief in us. Awesome topic!
