Jane realizes it’s hard to retain her pride in India, despite everything the media does to help you retain it:

Particpating in media activism…I send spades of smses to the money making media, believing that my Yes or No sms would make an impact on my countries pride (which is highly unlikely).I dont mind sitting home and sending a Rs.6 sms to add a 0.00001 difference to the media polls early next morning. ….but yes i am still making that small difference…so i heed no answers to anybody.I wish to stand behind the reporter who talks passionately infront of the camera speaking about the hue and cry i make when my fellow Indian is disturbed abroad. I signal from behind waving a hand to the camera…or looking at it in the eye…just to show that i exist…(I am whole, i am Indian..look at me…i have a voice…listen to me). I speak to the journalist on the channels mike saying “I am unhappy with the treatment meted out to them….this is unfair and i am ready to kill.” .[...] But i forget….they kill my pride everyday. My Indianess is shaken every minute. Another fellow Indian is stripping my ego every second [..]…..when 14 men molest a women on a new years night, when mind-boggling statistics reveal that a woman is being raped every 30 minutes in a safe metro like Mumbai OR when Dalit women are being stripped for the lowliness of their caste ..
