As something normal and not exceptional. Let's not forget that in India the symbol of strength is a woman; the goddess Shakti. Not only that-the struggle for inde­ pendence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that.

And the number of high calibre Japanese academics, professionals, and business executives is out of all proportion to the percentage of Japanese in the total American population. View quote
