“How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!” Written by famous poet Maya Angelou, these words aptly capture the essence of a video circulating on Twitter involving the members of a women battalion in Nagaland.
The video has been doing its rounds on the Internet for a while. However, it recently gained more traction after MLA Mmhonlumo Kikon tweeted it tagging Anand Mahindra and Kiren Rijiju who, in turn, shared the clip on Twitter too.
Tweeted by Kikon on August 27, the video shows a group of army women working in tandem to push a car out of a ditch. “Naga women Battalion lifting a Mahindra Bolero from the side drain! An old video which needs to be seen by more people,” Kikon wrote in the caption.
Since being shared, the video has gathered more than 2.1 lakh views. Additionally, it has also received about 16,000 likes and over 4,500 retweets.
