Travel to Europe and you can hear Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi and other Indian languages everywhere! In London, Englishmen, even black Londoners, greet you in Hindi. The immigration officer at Paris greeted us in Hindi when we gave him our passports! And under...

Aditi Kapoor believes that Bharat's fate will decide India's trajectory. And women will have to be given their due. This belief guided her through her years of journalism at The Times of India. Her work with UN agencies and international NGOs has seen her lobby and campaign on public policy in India and at international forums. For Aditi, who won the Statesman Award for Rural Reporting for her investigative stories on child labour in the carpet industry, inclusive development means giving more than just purchasing power to the "bottom of the pyramid". "Changing Frames" looks at what's happening around you -- from the lens of the less fortunate.
The views expressed in Changing Frames are the author´s own.
