Thousands of women have done India proud, here are some of them

Right- Sania Mirza, reached the world top 50 and won an Olympic medal

Below- Pratibha Patil the first woman President of India





Left Kiran Bedi, the first and highest ranked woman in the Indian Police Service.she has received International Awards.



Left- Indra Nooyi became the first woman CEO of Pepsi-Co in 2006.She is one of the most powerful women in the world.

Below- Arundhati Roy won the Booker Prize for her book"The God of Small Things". I love that book. Made me cry and laugh in a single sentence.











Left- Ashwaria Rai won the title of Miss World.She is an accomplished actress now.

Below is a picture of girls in a rural school taken by my niece Mahima.

A 13 year old girl like this can 't go to school any more as she has to take care of her blind parents.She drives a cycle rickshaw to sustain her family. These are also the daughters of India.

    Dear Amrita,
    that was a remarkable bouquet.
    I also like Arundhati Roy. Her novel has been translated into Norwegian several years ago.
    To be a bit shallow I might add that Indian women are so beautiful looking, the big, brown eyes, rich hair and enviable complexion.
    Bet the heroine of thirteen also is blessed with the same good look in addition to being a lifesaver for her family.
    I'll have to add her on my list of prayers.
    Yours Felisol

    I agree with Pat about you.

    I am glad that you shared these wonderful women.


    I'm always happy to hear of women who are doing us all proud. I get so tired and disheartened by the females I see around me everyday.
