I am very fortunate in that my Indian parents never pushed me to marry or have children, but they did have other expectations of me. However, all parents do that to some degree…

Sometimes I find American feminists baffling. I consider myself a feminist, but to me that just means that everyone should have access to the same opportunities. It does not guarantee equal outcomes.

Indian women have a lot to overcome but I find them to be some of the strongest in the world. More power to you as you continue your journey. Meanwhile, my heart goes out to those Indian ladies, particularly those from poor families or lower castes, who still struggle with so much endemic sexism. I pray for them.
