V Shantha Kumari, chief of the Rashtra Sevika Samiti, has expressed deep concern over the escalating conflicts in West Asia, highlighting the potential threat of a global war. In an exclusive interview, Kumari stressed the need for peaceful resolutions, stating that wars only bring suffering and should be avoided at all costs.

She underscored the importance of women's rights and criticized the treatment of women under regimes like those in Iran and Taliban-controlled areas. Kumari insists that women must not be constrained or treated as mere 'puppets,' advocating for their respect and freedom.

The ongoing military strikes and regional tensions, including U.S. offensives on Iran following an attack on its Supreme Leader, have underscored the urgent need for dialogue. Kumari, with a rich history of advocacy, continues to lead the Samiti from Nagpur, pushing for both societal and gender reforms on a global scale.
