In middle-class Indian parlance it means someone who works at a high-powered job by day and magically transforms herself into a dutiful daughter-in-law/wife/mother at night. She never complains, always cooks and defers to her husband and in-laws on all matters and smiles even as she pops a fistful of anti-depressants. Like Sita, the Bharatiya Nari would rather commit suicide than leave an unfulfilling marriage. Don’t forget the other Indian value of ensuring that we raise our daughters to be ideal Bharatiya Naris.
