Chandigarh, December 5

From playing five national badminton championships in her middle school and high school, Anupriya Dhonchak has made it big. The law student hailing from Haryana has bagged the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, along with another student Misbah Reshi. The two will now be pursuing post-graduate studies at the Oxford University next year.

While Reshi is final-year student of Campus Law Centre, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, Dhonchak is final-year student of National Law University, Delhi. She has worked on action-oriented policy projects related to the rights of sexual violence survivors, women prisoners and issues of reproductive justice. She has recently co-authored a book chapter on a feminist re-imagination of moral rights in copyright law. She is also interested in the intersection of issues of equal law and free speech with intellectual property.

Talking to The Tribune, Dhonchak said she was looking forward to use education and critical thinking promoted at Oxford to make justice more accessible to the people and bring about a social change.
