    Miss Roy may be a delicate, petite and sensitive intellectual, yet with such a beautiful heart.

    Sadly,no water was supplied for her to refresh her throat in the midst of her lecture defending the rights of the poor to share in the bounty of their own counrties no matter how they work hard to deliver the good.

    A bit flawed here and there, India was not always regressive, need to search for that brilliance to re-energize ourselves.
    Impressive, few women from kerala or India have such human focus or that unmissable soft ire.

    May I advise you to Raise above petty politics . If U have the courage , fight the battle from Where U r born/ or ur land of ethnicity .Face the peolple at the ground level within the country itself instead of bitting abt the bush at a distant alien place with a copy cat englicised accent to impress small alienated diaspora out of ur own mother land .
