India brings out so many different feelings in me. I've been fascinated with India and Indian culture as long as I can remember - ever since the '60s with the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
People can defame anyone they like, people can write anything they like. But non-accountability is a part of modern Indian culture.
Perhaps a hundred people assembled one evening, May 15, 1876, at the time when the country was celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its political independence.
Therefore reinforcing a stereotype, therefore thinking that the entire Indian culture is just made of people that are against their children's decisions.
At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.
The culture of caring and giving permeates many Indian families. In their own way, they are engaged in philanthropic pursuits.
The best thing we can do when we want to elevate civil dialogue in our American political discourse is to do whatever we can to make sure we treat others kindly with dignity and respect, and that's what I intend to do.
I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.
I don't care if my books don't sell abroad; we have a large enough market in our country. I write for Indian readers.
