She was named "Woman of the Year" in The World's 500 Most Influential Muslims for 2020.

Life

[edit]

Bilkis was born on 1 January 1938[5] in a village in Hapur district of Uttar Pradesh, India.[6] She did not receive any formal education and grew up reading the Quran Sharif.[6] Vice summarizes her life— "She spent her life raising her six children, farming and rearing cattle".[7] Her husband died when she was in her early 70s. She lives in Shaheen Bagh, Delhi, with her daughters-in-law and grandchildren.[6]

Activist career

[edit]

Bilkis sat with two of her friends, Asma Khatoon (90) and Sarwari (75),[8] and hundreds of muslims under a canopied tent at Shaheen Bagh, blocking a major highway in Delhi, for over three months.[9][10][11] Bilkis and her two friends came to be known as the Dadis of Shaheen Bagh (English: Grandmothers of Shaheen Bagh).[12] The other woman of Bilkis' joint family also took turns to participate in the protest.[8] Bilkis herself did not miss a day of the protest. In Delhi's winter, she sat at the protest site from 8 in the morning every day. She also took part in the open-mics at the protest site.[13] The protest started in response to police violence in Jamia Millia Islamia university located near Shaheen Bagh— "We continued our sit-in even as it rained or mercury dropped or temperature shot up. We had been sitting ever since our kids were thrashed in Jamia. Shots were fired in front of us, yet nothing deterred us".[14]

In an interview published in Livemint, she said that it is the idea of a plural India that she and her late husband grew up with that she is fighting for, "despite all odds ... They passed the Babri Masjid verdict, triple talaq law, demonetization, we didn't say anything, but we will not stand for this division."[15] During the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest, Bilkis Bano tried to join the protests but was escorted away by the police.[16] She expressed solidarity with the farmers at an event at Press Club of India.[17] Many news outlets including OpIndia and Zee News have criticized her, calling her a cover for radical and separatist elements and a "sympathiser of anti-India forces".[12]

BBC quotes her saying "Women should feel empowered to step out of their homes and raise their voice, especially against injustice.
