Mornings at my paan stall, I listen to the radio—today they said the top Indian woman chess player’s prize money is still less than the 50th-ranked man’s. Beta, that math doesn’t sit well. My daughter wants to be an engineer, and I’ve seen how the village school chess girls beat the boys from town last week—talent doesn’t know gender, but the bank balance does. If we want more girls to sit at that board, we need to put the same rupees behind their victories first.
