FEELINgSWhat I feel aboutthis tripThere are many things I like aboutthis trip, the first is that I love travelling,especially road trips. But this issomething beyond driving, meetingthese women has been an amazingexperience for me. When I reallyconnect with these people I visualisemyself in their place and I think thatthis is how india can change, not justby big politicians who are selfish. Ihave never met more selfless peoplebefore.What I feel abouteach womanBimla Devi - She destroyed the mostdeep rooted problem in India, cast andgender discrimination. I feel she madea huge difference in her village evenwhen she was not the Sarpanch of hervillage, which is a great feat becausepeople do not listen to just any person,and she made them listen to her...Vijaylaxmi Sharma - She is thebravest woman I have met, she is notscared of threats. She just does herwork without worrying about herselfwhich is a very good value. Anotherthat I really liked was her firmnesswhen she said at the age of thirteenthat she will not get married.Norti Bai - I love her always youngspirit, she learnt how to run a computerat the age of 60! She becamethe Sarpanch of her village at suchan old age!A report by 14 year old boy6RED RICKSHAW REVOLUTION
