The chant of ‘Azaadi’ which echoed across protest sites in the country is said to have been popularised by Bhasin as a feminist slogan against patriarchy.

Netizens took to Twitter to condole Bhasin’s demise.

Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan said Kamla Bhasin was not only a women’s rights activist, but also a philanthropist who set up and helped setting up many fine public Interest institutions like Jagori in Himachal Pradesh and School for democracy in Rajasthan.

“She will be missed by many. May her soul rest in peace,” he tweeted.

"मैं पढ़ना सीख रही हूँ ,की ज़िन्दगी को पढ़ सकूं ,
मैं लिखना सीख रही हूँ, की अपनी किस्मत खुद लिख सकूं ,
मैं हिसाब सीख रही हूँ, की अपने अधिकारों का भी हिसाब रखूँ ."
