One Indian Girl was not a feminist book up until the last few pages where Radhika literally sweeps Neel and Debu out of her life. Even then, her mother does not stop criticizing her. She even slaps her. Her mentality never changes. In fact, nobody else goes through a change of heart. I loved the section where Radhika confronts both Debu and Neel. She tells Debu that it is easy for anybody to say that they support feminism, but they are not actually different from the mass when it comes to reality; they also want to clip women’s wings hits the right chords. The whole metaphor of why women can’t choose to fly high as well as create a nest was hard hitting. I even liked the idea of why the working hours even in today’s world are suited for men and not for married women with children.
