India, Feb. 4 -- February 4 marks the birth anniversary of Rosa Parks, a woman whose quiet defiance reshaped the course of history. Parks is most widely remembered for her pivotal role in the American Civil Rights Movement, particularly for the moment in 1955 when she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

That single act of resistance led to her arrest and sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott - a mass protest that lasted over a year and became a cornerstone in the fight against racial segregation in the United States. Far from being a spontaneous gesture, Parks' decision was rooted in years of lived experience, activism, and an unshakeable belief in dignity and justice.
