Tinka Tinka Tihar and the poetries written by female inmates behind the bars of misfortune has echoed with sweet triumph and appreciation across print media which has showered the one-of-its-kind initiative towards prison reform with words of appreciation, recognition and encouragement in newspapers such as The Hindu, Delhi Times, Hindustan Times and Times of India.
Tinka Tinka Tihar, co-authored by Vartika Nanda, a prison reformer and journalist, and Vimla Mehra, the former Director General of Tihar Jail, is a unique project that aims to bring out the hidden talents and voices of the women inmates of Tihar Jail. The book contains a collection of poems written by selected female inmates, while the song is a musical video featuring their voices and faces. Tinka Tinka Tihar is not just a book or a song, but a movement that seeks to bridge the gap between the prisons, judiciary and society, and to inspire hope and change in the lives of these women.
