One day in 1965 Rajiv wrote me from London, where he was studying, and informed me, \'You\'re always asking me about girls, whether I have a special girl, and so forth. Well, I\'ve met a special girl.\' And when Rajiv returned to India, I asked him, \'Do you still think about her in the same way?\' And he said yes. But she couldn\'t get married until she was twenty-one, and until she was sure she\'d like to live in India. Sonia is almost completely an Indian by now, even though she doesn\'t always wear saris.

I know you were surprised when, after the fall of Dacca, Pakistani and Indian officers shook hands. But do you realize that, up until 1965, in our army and the Pakistani one you could come across generals who were brothers? Blood brothers, sons of the same father and the same mother.

I've always been able to do what I wanted. On the other hand, my mother was. She considered the fact of being a woman a great disadvantage. She had her reasons. In her day women lived in seclusion - in almost all Indian states they couldn't even show themselves on the street.
