  • In Bangalore, she visits senior women IT professionals in their plush offices looking — and probably feeling — completely out of her depth as they discuss working women’s problems. She meets the minister for women and child development and asks questions like — what is the government doing (for women)? Renuka Chowdhury launches a broadside: men must realize that “what you reap is what you sow’. Huh? Vaijanti also visits Sabarmati Ashram to seek Gandhi’s views of the condition of women. At the end, we are told that Vaijanti realizes she is not alone. However, you can’t help but see that the distance between her and the women she met, except Jasbir Kaur, is unbridgeable. It’s also an odd approach to the issue of female foeticide. You expect much more depth, and subtlety from the BBC.
