Oprah in India- asking the basic questions

India has more to it than poverty, feels Oprah Winfrey - The Economic Times: ""What is it with the red lights here. Is it there just for your entertainment? she asked to bursts of laughter from the audience.

"There is a red light on and everybody just keeps going," she said.

And she returned to the subject before finishing her talk. "Texting while driving is stupid. But in India it is insane," she said, tongue in cheek.

Oprah's meeting with the widows too left her quite moved and according to her "caused a shift in my consciousness".

She said she was all the more surprised by the fact that women who lose their husbands can be discarded in a country where families do so well to take care of their elders.

"I couldn't understand this paradox that a country where families have so much love for their elders could discard its women just because they did not have husbands," she said. "
