Sushma, the Minister of many firsts, has truly left a legacy of breaking barriers for her daughter.
Politics is an arena where women are scarcely found. An independent, powerful force, no matter what your political leanings, #SushmaSwaraj inspires every young girl to work for this nation.

It was Sushma who lit the pyre of her late father-in-law, upon his wishes.
The nation mourns the death of this woman who defied conventions and created many histories.
