The fact is the world knows only ten directions. But this 'eleventh direction'! The secret of the name 'Disha Pinky Sheikh' also lies in this. The representative direction of the polygamous society today fights for the problems of the third class. Disha's efforts are to make people aware of 'gender' and remove misconceptions about it.
Disha's birth village is 'Yewla', while she currently resides in Srirampur. Once, while walking to work, I saw the name 'Akaravi Disha' on a board. The name 'Disha', which she discovered while searching for herself, has become her identity today, while 'Pinky Sheikh' is the name of her mentor. The name 'Disha Pinky Sheikh' has come forward for the struggle of third sects, for their humanity. The story of the struggle of third sects, which has been going on for a long time, is today in the form of 'Disha', which tries to solve their problems. The path to perfection is daunting.
It is a direction to 'live!' The name 'Disha Pinky Shaikh' is being heard on social media today as a representative of a multi-sex society. What is the life of third castes, what are their problems? What is their struggle for survival? Their fight is going on and will continue unabated? The name Disha Pinky Shaikh is fighting today through meetings, social media, literature conferences, book release events, poetry conferences, lecturers and pens, for the 'humanity' of the third class.
Disha is a great poetess. Recently, Disha Pinky Shaikh's first poetry collection 'Kurup' has been published by Mumbai's renowned Shabd Prakashan on the occasion of World Women's Liberation Day. The importance of this anthology as the first anthology of poetry in India to express the sufferings of the transgender community is unmistakable. The body of literature is blossoming from her pen. Her pen, which was taken up to raise the problems of the third cast, has become known today through meetings and social media.
Disha has taken her step for positivity through the portal dhonda.in and through the LGBTQ community. It is certainly transformative. Disha says while presenting the woes of the third castes, even today in society, men look down on women, while there is no disparity like the fact that the third castes are looked at with a different eye, under the category of women. People don't know 'gender'. Society does not know their pain. They are treated differently. They should be seen as human beings.
There are spinning rooms near the railway station. Why is a diamond orbit needed? The relationship between mother and child is considered sacred in society. If a mother and baby are breastfeeding in such a place, why do men look there? That mother feels insecure. Because the mindset is the same today. Our pen is a tool of struggle in society. People later decided that it was 'literature', but Disha said that before that her writing was a means of expression in her life.
The name 'Disha Pinky Shaikh' as a representative of polygamous society is being heard on social media today. She is fighting for what is the life of the third class, what are their problems. What is their struggle for survival?
Talking about her literature, Disha says, 'What we write is called 'literature', we realized it very late. Whatever is in our mind, happy, sad, whatever comes into our mind, it comes forward in the form of a pen, it is written in the form of a poem, or article, but people decide that it is 'literature'. This is why about column writing for newspapers, writing for the web, especially about the pain and problems of the third class, are not seen by anyone. Every human being has hunger, every human being has basic needs. You have to struggle to fulfill it. One has to fight to stand with people in society. How should they prove humanity? Because they are not seen as human beings.
There is a question of their education. The third sect says that they are shunned, the door is closed on seeing them. On a train, the route is changed if seen on the road. Windows of cars are rolled down on highways at signals. People stay away from them. They are ignored not only by society but also by the family. When they are treated very badly, the struggle that ensues is a life-long struggle. For this, efforts are being made to make people understand 'gender' through social work, and for this, efforts are being made to convey our ideas to college students through lectures, said Disha. She said that her work is going on in the portal dhonda.in and the medium of literature is also useful in doing social work.
Apart from males and females, there is also an active element in society. They also have a mind. They need to be understood rather than looked down upon as third castes. For that, it is necessary to change the mentality. 'Gender' issues need to be addressed. It needs to come forward in the form of books, lectures and sometimes through discussions.
Disha says, 'Today's new generation needs to be given this knowledge. The LGBTQ community should be understood. The subject of the life of 'Third Class' should come forward through the courses. At the school level today, there is not a single lesson on tertiary education in the curriculum. The story of struggle should be presented. Misconceptions about the third caste should be removed in society today. The fear of children and women about them should be removed. Need a lesson in education! Disha expressed such a request while speaking.
