From Devadasis to Dowry: Rethinking Marriage in Modern India

Garima MishraGarima (she/her) is a 24-year-old writer with big feelings that often fuel her urge to write. After emerging from a three-year writer’s block in October 2025, she is committed to writing everything she couldn’t say during that silence. She uses words to what is often unquestioned or normalized. Raised in a deeply patriarchal household, she has spent years defying the odds stacked against her and perhaps that's what makes her a blahcksheep. When she isn’t writing, she can be found sipping coffee on her balcony, thinking about random things while admiring her tiny neighbourhood.
