Well, I feel it's a strategic move to announce the appointment following the recent ban issues in six states.
On the other hand, this announcement does herald the final crossing of the long-held glass barrier excuse we Indians have always used. Colas have always symbolised western culture and to have an indian lady fronting it should open up many deliberately closed eyes.
Indian Feminists: You have come a long way since our independence.
Indian MCPs: Buck up, cause it's just a matter of time I say before you are left behind.
