Business Week has an interesting article about the changing status of women in India. A research survey found surprising attitudes among younger women:

Now many women say they'll marry when ready -- not when their parents decide to marry them off. Sixty-five percent say dating is essential, and they also want to become financially independent before they marry. More than three-quarters -- 76% -- say they want to maintain that independence afterward. Sixty percent say they'll decide how to spend their own salaries.

I think this is very encouraging. India’s path to economic integration will probably be much smoother than many other countries, particularly China.
