On Wednesday, India celebrated 60 years of independence from Britain. Much has been said about how much India has developed, including in the area of women’s rights and women’s political power (consider former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi, and current president Pratibha Patil). One rather bizarre but interesting commentary came from Times of India columnist, Bachi Karkaria, whose column, ” India at Menopause. Wow!” likens India at age 60 to post-menopausal women who are active and enjoying life to the fullest. Take a look for yourself, it’s quite a read.
