India has a population of over 1.4 billion, the largest in the world, and its economy is developing rapidly, but there are still areas where a male-dominated culture remains, and problems such as discrimination and violence against women have been pointed out.
Also, when it comes to motorcycles, there are many men, especially in rural areas, who are not tolerant of women driving.
However, recently, an Indian movie starring four women riding large motorcycles has been shown and is gaining popularity, indicating that the number of female riders is increasing in India as well.
A woman in her 30s who participated said, ``When I ride a motorcycle, I feel free like a bird.''
A woman in her 50s said, ``It's true that women are facing various difficulties, but I want them to never be held back and pursue their dreams.''
