Tinka Tinka has been constantly working towards prison reforms and in since last few years they have brought a lot of stories to the common people. The reforms done by Tinka Tinka are something very less people know about and even very few people have attempted it. The stories about prison inmates from Tinka Tinka book series Tinka Tinka Tihar, Tinka Tinka Dasna and Tinka Tinka Madhya Pradesh has its own feel. #tinkatinka #vartikananda #jail

Tinka Tinka Madhya Pradesh created a milestone by engaging 19 people, twelve men, two women, four children lodged with their mothers and a warder (Prahari) from the prisons of Madhya Pradesh. She has written two other books Tinka Tinka Tihar, Tinka Tinka Madhya Pradesh, Tinka Dasna, and gives a true representation of life inside prisons. In her books, instead of sensationalizing, Dr. Vartika Nanda sensitizes readers to the harsh realities of prisons. She is shattering the dehumanized and barbaric image of those incarcerated. Through her work, she is showing that inmates are humans with talent, aspirations, and a will to improve themselves. Her newest initiative is opening a prison radio in Haryana, she has earlier done so in Agra. Workshops were held to train inmates and to develop their talents and creativity. The work of Dr. Vartika Nanda, the founder of the movement of prison reforms in India, is a testament to the idea that rehabilitation and not punishment is the answer. The radio will also keep the inmates informed about their rights and will give them respite in these challenging times of the pandemic when the inmates cannot have any visitors.#tinkatinka #tinkamodelofprisonreforms#awards #vartikananda #prisonreforms

“It’s not about what you tell your children, but how you show them how to live life.” Jada Pinkett Smith
19 souls, associated with prisons, came together with a prison reformer and created magic. This magic is titled Tinka Tinka Madhya Pradesh. This is the first coffee table book in India which is based on the real-life stories and creativity of inmates. These include 4 children out of whom 3 were born in jail.

Tinka Tinka Madhya Pradesh opens a new world on how their life is different from that of a normative childhood. Those children find something to hold onto and start learning from that by joining the small pieces of blocks into a bigger block. Prisons do not offer recreational opportunities for children. A few toys, a slate, a notebook and a pencil are provided to them as stationary and a few swings in the ground to play. As a result, these children seldom have access to learning, and often lack social skills, having lived in a jail environment.
The book also features a few paintings of these children made with limited resources available to them in the jail.
Written by Dr. Vartika Nanda, India’s leading prison reformer and founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation, spent three years to prepare this exhaustive coffee table book. This book was released by Shri Kiren Rijiju, then MOS Home. This is the third book in the series of books published by Tinka Tinka on life in prisons, the first two being Tinka Tinka Tihar and Tinka Tinka Dasna.
The book has changed my own views about the prisons and life behind the bars. It has changed my mind set about jails. Inmates too have hearts full of emotions and feelings. We the privileged section of the society should be considerate about the future of these caged children, after all they too are the future of the nation.

The book is dedicated to the guiltless children who are born, brought up and taught inside the small cubicles present inside the prisons up to the age of 6 years with their imprisoned mothers. They live a caged childhood and this makes their story unique from the other kids. Although they are with their mothers in the prisons but just living is not enough. They also require beam of sunshine and freedom. Due to their stay in a custodial environment, their socialization skills are usually negatively affected. They face host of challenges and difficulties like psychological strain. They experience feelings of loneliness and sadness. They are unaware of the concept of a home.

The book also features a few paintings of these children made with limited resources available. Dr. Vartika Nanda founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation has a special view about the same. If necessary tools to succeed are provided to these kids, they will succeed beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.
A MUST READ .
