Time magazine further wrote that these women were surprised that she was an activist providing cooking and cleaning services at protest sites around Delhi, not an equal share in the movement.

Jasbir Kaur, a 74-year-old farmer from Rampur in western Uttar Pradesh, told Time magazine, 'Why should we go back? This is not the opposition of men only. Who are we - if not farmers? According to Oxfam India, 85% of rural women do agricultural work, but only 13% own any land.
