"I think I am a good writer. That's the only skill I have," said Sathya Saran on a visit to Tokyo from Bombay.
In her honest assessment of the driving forces in her life, Sathya denies her many other skills. Intense and convincing, she is a reliable, efficient organizer. Her qualities of leadership are pronounced. As editor for 12 years standing of Femina, India's foremost magazine for women, Sathya has illuminated issues and taken positions that testify to her social awareness, ability and courage.
She is known as an activist with a purpose, a popular and senior journalist who encourages Indian women to think about themselves and what goes on in their lives. "I want women to be independent," she said.
