As a citizen, I welcome the Supreme Court Verdict. Menstruation is something natural as giving birth to a baby. That is why when menstruation ends, the fertility of a woman ceases. Viewing the menstruation cycle of women as impure is an age-old view. But even in the modern times viewing it as impure is something very sad, she said.

Nandita Das, daughter of renowned artist Jatin Das and writer Varsha is also a familiar face to Malayalees.
