Three Indian women—activist, wrestler-turned-politician, and funeral rites pioneer—are highlighted on BBC's influential women list.
Three Indian women are featured on BBC's 100 Most Influential and Inspiring Women of 2024 list: social activist Aruna Roy, wrestler-turned-politician Vinesh Phogat, and funeral rites pioneer Pooja Sharma.
Roy advocates for transparency and fair wages and co-founded MKSS, which helped pass India's Right to Information Act in 2005.
Phogat, a three-time Olympian, retired from wrestling to enter politics and fights gender bias.
Sharma, who has conducted over 4,000 last rites for unclaimed bodies, challenges cultural norms around funeral practices.
