The Broad Experience 65: Transcending tradition: women in India

India has a huge population and a burgeoning economy. More and more women are getting an education, yet only a third of women work outside the home. In this episode we hear from Indian journalist Shaili Chopra, founder of SheThePeople.tv. We discuss some obstacles Indian women face that western women don't, and why they badly need more female role models. We talk about the influence caste still has on Indian society, why Shaili's nanny has her own nanny, and why Shaili doesn't call herself a feminist.
