Whether knowingly or unknowingly, we are all victims of gender equality and caste discrimination, even after being born equal. But important is, that we shall never stop talking and telling and writing about what it must come to light. 'Unabashed Voices' is an amalgamation of 31 wonderful writers from across the country. Who has poured out their best contemplative thoughts on the subject, through their poetry and short stories? India, as a country, has a quite diverse culture and yet we find common ground on certain things, which connect all of us together. This Anthology is a small but initial step toward a better world.
