Kalki Koechlin is a prime figure and a resonating voice for today’s youth. Her bold views and unabashed voice for feminism is resounding throughout the country, and the world now.
And as if on cue, Kalki received a mail from none other than Melinda Gates herself, applauding her on her efforts against discrimination of women.
Melinda Gates, Co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, was very impressed with Kalki’s video The Printing Machine, as well as her views on violence and discrimination against women when they both appeared on Barkha Dutt’s show, The Townhall, earlier last month.
The mail that Kalki received read as follows:
Dear Ms Koechlin:
I appreciate your taking time to join me in a discussion on empowering women and girls in India. Your video poem, “The Printing Machine”, was both powerful and thought-provoking.
Thank you for bringing attention to violence and discrimination against women. Your voice helps bring much needed attention and support to these issues — and I am grateful for your efforts.
It was a pleasure meeting you during my visit.
Sincerely,
Melinda Gates.
Melinda Gates.
Here is the poem, The Printing Machine, written and performed by Kalki herself, which has filled Melinda Gates with so much adulation.
You go girl! Keep rocking and making us proud!
