has been recognised by <!-- -->Time magazine<!-- --> as one of the 100 most influential people of 2024.<br \/>Malik&#8217;s inclusion in the prestigious list is a result of her unwavering determination to fight against the alleged <!-- -->sexual harassment<!-- --> faced by female wrestlers at the hands of <!-- -->Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh<!-- -->, the former president of the <!-- -->Wrestling Federation of India<!-- --> (WFI).<br \/>Alongside <!-- -->Vinesh Phogat<!-- -->, a two-time World Championships bronze medallist, and Bajrang Punia, a Tokyo Olympics bronze winner, Sakshi led a protest against Brij Bhushan at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. <br \/>The wrestlers demanded Brij Bhushan&#8217;s arrest for intimidating and allegedly sexually harassing female grapplers across the nation.<br \/>The protest, which commenced in January of the previous year, evolved into a year-long battle against Brij Bhushan, garnering support and attention both domestically and internationally.<br \/>Despite the filing of a charge sheet against Brij Bhushan, he continues to deny the allegations made against him.<br \/>&#8220;This fight is no longer only for India&#8217;s female wrestlers,&#8221; said Sakshi of the movement she helped spark.<br \/>&#8220;It is for the daughters of India whose voices have been silenced time and again.&#8221;<br \/>Sanjay Singh<!-- -->, a trusted confidant and business associate of Brij Bhushan, was appointed as the new WFI president soon after Brij Bhushan stepped down from his position.<br \/>Sakshi decided to quit the sport the day Sanjay Singh took charge of WFI.<br \/>The list also includes several other prominent Indians, such as Alia Bhatt, a renowned actress, Dev Patel, an accomplished Indo-British actor, and <!--
