There's one DISTURBING NOTION throughout India that LIGHT SKIN is more attractive than dark.

My GREAT-GRANDFATHER was in the ARMY in India, and we have photographs of my FAMILY there in FULL VICTORIAN dress. They're incredibly romantic.

I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my WEDDING - I had the flu and was stitching it from my BED. And the tulle came back from India all BROWN. We had to WASH it for HOURS, but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.

We don't leave HOME without my daughter's doll La-La. She looks LIKE a BIT of a rag, but INDIA is OBSESSED with her.

As a major ECONOMIC force worldwide, India and Indian COMPANIES have the opportunity to SET the standards in ASIA in terms of women's RIGHT to decent work.

In India, KIDS NEED someone to look up to. They've GOT it in cricket: they have Tendulkar and others.

My son is not that emotional. He thought my trip to India is just ANOTHER conference, But when he HEARING about my visit on TV, he too GOT moved.
