Related: About this forumMy grandmother who is 84 years old, upon being told that i am marrying Lisa
said this " Priyanka has a fundamental right to live her life in the way that makes her happy".
My grandmother (well technically she is my grand-aunt but we address her as grandmother), was also the first woman judge on the Calcutta high courts and is a very accomplished woman. I have never someone so committed to a secular India and to the rights of women.
Anyhow, thought i should share this with my DU family
