Maliwal's lines highlighted the fighting spirit of women to take on what is one's right. The tweet if translated means ''Life is not given in charity, one has to step forward to snatch it, it would be nice if you can snatch your rights from a hard-hearted society. Nothing will happen by bowing your head, things will change if you hold your head high''.
