The conservative city of Rajkot (Gujarat, India) received something of a shock this week when
Pooja Chauhan, 22, stripped to her "inner-wear" and
walked through town, brandishing a baseball bat. She was
protesting against the mental and physical harassment she's had to endure at the hands of her husband and in-laws for dowry, and for having borne a daughter, and also to denounce the local police's inactivity despite her repeated complaints.
Controversy,
video,
her side,
follow-up.
