If you have so called right wing or FANATIC hindu parents

and they bring up a daughter with credentials like sonal shaha's

man!! I just want to be parents like them.
Seems to me they did every thing right.

I Iwill be very proud if I knew Ms shaha on a personal basis and try to find out what Right Things her parents did so that she is able to do so much constructive work for the world

thank you Shri... great piece :)

as a non-desi i found it hard to have my typical brash take on this particular matter, so i'm glad to see you speaking out on her behalf. i did find it rather annoying that people were ripping on Sonal without any clue as to who she was and/or what her politics or philosophy were all about. she is one of the most wonderful, inclusive, level-headed people i have ever met and she is a terrific person to represent our country -- and others -- on the Obama administration's transition team. i've spent time with her discussing microfinance, philanthropy, women's rights, international relations, poverty, etc. and every time i come away impressed with her approach to helping make the world a better place for all of us to live together peacefully. i hope that other folks take the time to get to know her better before they make such quick judgment of her character.

thanks for speaking up & speaking out :)
