BANGKOK — In a meaningful celebration of International Women’s Day, the We-Women Network, led by its Founder Dr. Manisha Bose, organized a special evening in association with the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre (SVCC), Embassy of India in Bangkok. The event brought together members of the Indian and Thai communities for an evening dedicated to dialogue, reflection, and the celebration of Shakti—the power and potential of women in shaping society.
“Shakti”: A Panel on Strength, Society, and Evolution
The highlight of the evening was a panel discussion titled “Shakti: Nurturing Self, Strengthening Society, and Evolving Together.” The session was moderated by Dr. Manisha Bose, who guided a thoughtful and engaging conversation with four distinguished panelists representing diverse professional and cultural backgrounds: Deepali Kejriwal, Manisha Misra, Khun Nui, and Khun Kim.
The discussion explored how women can nurture their inner strength while contributing to stronger families and a more evolved society—a theme that resonated deeply with the diverse audience in attendance.
Deputy Chief of Mission Delivers Inspiring Address
The event was graced by the Deputy Chief of Mission, Poulomi Tripathi, who delivered an inspiring address reflecting on the spirit of Shakti and the importance of collective progress in advancing gender equality. Her remarks underscored the critical role that collaboration and mutual empowerment play in building a more equitable world.
Ceremonial Lamp-Lighting Marks Formal Opening
A ceremonial lamp-lighting marked the formal opening of the evening. Distinguished participants included Poulomi Tripathi, Yogi ji, Dr. Srinivas Tata, Nitin Tripathi, Vaishali Tumkar, and Dr. Rani, who joined Dr. Manisha Bose in lighting the traditional lamp—a symbolic gesture of knowledge, hope, and shared purpose.
Cultural Performances Celebrate Thai–Indian Harmony
The cultural segment beautifully reflected the Thai–Indian spirit of the gathering. An elegant Lanna dance performed by Kamolrat and a graceful Bharatanatyam performance by Samadrita created a vibrant atmosphere celebrating cultural harmony. The performances served as a vivid reminder of the deep cultural ties that bind the two nations.
The evening was seamlessly conducted by emcees Deepali Nair and Nidhi Jhawar, whose coordination ensured the program flowed smoothly from one segment to the next.
A Growing Platform for Empowerment
The event highlighted the growing impact of the We-Women Network, a community platform that brings together women from diverse backgrounds to share knowledge, support one another, and contribute to society. As emphasized during the evening, the spirit of Shakti is not about competition or conflict, but about inner strength, collaboration, and collective progress.
Through dialogue, cultural exchange, and shared vision, the celebration reaffirmed the network’s belief that an empowered woman uplifts not only herself but also her family, community, and society at large.
