As a daughter of a woman who fought for women’s rights during the independence movement and was instrumental in starting one of the first women’s institutions in India, I should feel a genuine sense of pride in the election of Patil. But at best I have mixed emotions.
作为一名在独立运动中为女权斗争、并且为开创印度第一个妇女机构立下汗马功劳的女子的女儿，我应当为帕蒂尔当选感到由衷的骄傲。但是我最多也就是有复杂的感觉。
