Tinka Tinka Tihar, the book that was launched by the former Home Minister of India, Sushil Kumar Shinde, at an international conference in New Delhi in 2013, has become the voice of the women behind bars of Tihar Jail, spreading its wings across a print medium. The book is a joint effort of Dr. Vartika Nanda, a media educator and prison reformer, and Vimla Mehra, Director General of Tihar Jail.
It is a rare attempt to provide a creative outlet for women who are confined in jail and share their emotions through poetry and has received recognition from the Limca Book of Records in 2015. It has been translated and published in six languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati, and Italian, and has inspired a song called Tinka Tinka Tihar, sung by the inmates of Tihar jail, which also made it to the Limca Book of Records.

Tinka Tinka Tihar shows that women prisoners are also creative at their heart and also have feelings like a normal human being...they are creative and full of emotions...
