Women!
Women are the best poverty fighters. Experience and studies have shown that they use the profits from their businesses to send their children to school, improve their families’ living conditions and nutrition, and expand their businesses. They also are more likely to fully repay their loans on time.

Ah! Maybe it is time we elected another woman Prime minister?

Suman,
Your premise and conclusions don't add up.. :(
Okay "Women are the best poverty fighters." Isn't that premise enough for you? And, oh, by the way, India suffers from poverty if you didn't notice it. ;-)
