It became clearer that the problem lay with instability in the global financial system itself the bouts of euphoria and bubbles, followed by the sudden stops and sharp reversals that are endemic to unsupervised and unregulated financial markets.

But gestures cannot be a substitute for real action, or for the hard work that is necessary to empower all Indian women.
