“Discrimination against widows has existed for centuries,” India’s solicitor general Mr Tushar Mehta told dinner guests at the UK House of Lords, adding that “as the most populous country, the largest democracy and the fastest-growing economy in the world, India has an important part to play in finding solutions to challenges and creating a sustainable world for everyone.
Mr Mehta was speaking by live video link from Delhi, addressing a banquet hosted by Crossbench Peer Lord Raj Loomba CBE to commemorate International Widows Day, which was simultaneously marked with eleven Loomba Foundation-coordinated events in locations throughout India, as well as by other organizations in UN member states throughout the world.
The banquet was also addressed by Mr G P Hinduja, chairman of the Hinduja Group, and by the Indian High Commissioner to London, Mr Vikram Doraiswami.
