Arundhati Roy? Come on Sakshi…if Arundhati Roy can make the cut so can Rakhi Sawant .

But nice selection nonetheless.

Good article and good choices, including Arundhati Roy. I think she is a terrific writed. Loved ‘GOST’. Also loved her in ‘In which Annie gives…’.

Agreed on both points. She is a great fiction write. She should stick to that and not become a political commentator and the pseudo voice fo the nation.

Just me – Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is indeed nice to see women..making a difference in the world.

Sourin – Thank you.

Arzan – Thanks, after a long time atleast u agreed with me on something..so what if not completely.

Arzan & Greatbong – Well to be frank, i did contemplate putting Mrs. Roy’s name…cause there are many of her view’s that i personally dont agree upon. But i came conclusion, not everyone thinks like us…there are many who follow Arundhati Roy..be it for her writings or her stand against social causes. For some women in this country…she has made a difference. Therefore, she does deserve a mention, whether some of us like it or not.

Sakshi,

Great list and write-up. IMO Naina Lal Kidwai also deserves a mention. She was the first Indian woman to graduate from HBS.
