Описание: From Kasturbe Versus Gandhi: "Conform! Conform! Why is a woman expected to conform to all the rigid expectations and standards of society? Why do I need to behave according to the dictates of society? Why cant I stand my own ground and be myself? Why am I only nice when I am perfect and serve your needs and disregard mine? Why should I know what is expected of me and behave accordingly?" From INDIRA: "I realised soon that I need to prove myself , else I would be taken for a fledgling forever. You know (Pause) There is heartbreak in the heart of everything... "You mean they have double stadards? They have one set of standards for a male leader, and another set for a female one, right?... From The Return of B: " Pay attention to your education, for it is your books that will take you far. And why should girls be behind boys in any way? Girls are the pride of any nation . They shape the minds and hearts of the young when they become mothers. So it is very, very important to educate girls... "I want my daughter to have the same opportunities as my sons. And all conditions being equal, it is in every girls interest to reach her best potential.

Описание: Nishi Chawlas long poem entitled A Himalayan Poem is broken up into eight sections. The long poem is her own personal response to the landscape of the mountains even as the poem explores its physical attributes: its rivers, its peaks and glaciers, its flora and its fauna, its cultural traditions, both secular and spiritual, and its people. Section One is devoted to the origins of the Himalayas. Section Two is about the rivers and lakes found in the Himalayas. Section Three is devoted to the peaks and glaciers. Section Four is about the trees and flowers found in the Himalayas, and Section Five is about the birds and animals. Section Six is about environmental degradation. Section Seven is about temples and monasteries found in the Himalayas. The final section is about what the mountains symbolise.
