Book reception: Fearless Freedom
Fearless Freedom by Kavita Krishnan was published in May 2020.

Popular reception by Women's Web:
A more popular reception of Fearless Freedom was done by Women's Web, a popular Indian blogpost which celebrates women's voices. Author Piyusha Vir talks about how Fearless Freedom acknowledges that, ‘Confinement to the home itself is a form of violence that is not even acknowledged.’ and how that acknowledgement came as a "rude reality check" for her. This reality check made Vir think of how women's lives in India are surveilled in the name of safety, and it makes her question, What can we do to dismantle this deeply patriarchal society and the system?

Academic reception by Aishwarya Bhuta:
Aishwarya Bhuta gave a book review of Fearless Freedom in the Society and Culture in South Asia journal. Bhuta talks about how this book is written with a backdrop of the 2012 Delhi Gang rape case which makes Krishnan reiterate her statement: "Death penalty is not a deterrent to rape," and how women's fearless freedom should be protected at all costs. This review by Aishwarya Bhuta talks a little bit about how the style of how this book was written; says the writing style is simple, and it consists of personal experiences, excerpts from autobiographies, instances from Cinema and poetry
