Mitu Khurana ~ India's Heroine

It is with deep sadness that I inform you that our dear friend and spirited heroine is no longer of this world. Mitu Khurana was a force to reckon with and refused to back down despite the hardships, the deception, and the toll it took on her health. Mitu died in March after heart surgery. I truly feel that she died of a broken heart.

Mitu was known around the world for her tireless struggle in her protection of the Daughters of India. She never once gave up hope that justice would be won. She continued to struggle against all odds.

I met Mitu on a blog article that I had posted several years ago. We stayed in touch until I went to India and met with her and her twin daughters in New Delhi. She told me her story which was recorded and can be seen here and is also available for viewing on YouTube. I created this blog as a bookmark for the dozens of articles and videos on Mitu.

I had always hoped that I would return to India one day and spend time with Mitu; she graciously offered her home to me several times.

The best way to honor Mitu to is to continue to support her work by researching, speaking out, and being the light that she was for India, for the world, and for India’s daughters.
