A talk on Gender issues at the Study India program. Today from ten in the morning to three thirty in the afternoon, with an hour break in between, I had a discussion with the students from Europe. This was a small group of students from Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Finland and US who were visiting India for the first time. Though my talk was only on Women's work in the Informal sector in the old city of Hyderabad, they had so many questions and we ended up discussing every thing under the sun related to gender issues in India from history, to politics, to economy, society, culture, violence, trafficking and many more such issues. It was a great feeling to learn about other cultures too and realise at the end that inspite of the difference in our societies and culture women every where around the world are dealing with similar issues.
