Some of the most powerful women in India are women. But will this usher in a new age of gender equality?

What they are implying is until now the powerful women were considered men in female bodies.

Now, they are all women - according to the BBC

They finally corrected it:
Some of the most powerful figures in India are women. But will this usher in a new age of gender equality?

no it won't. amartya sen addresses this in his book (TAI). inequalities work in tandem but we tend to think that they work in isolation. there are overlaps between gender inequality, rich-poor, brahmin-dalit and educated-illiterate divides. the only thing that can be understood from this is that if you are a woman, poor, dalit and illiterate, then you've had it. if you are a woman, rich or poor, brahmin, and literate then no (simple) conclusion can be drawn about gender inequality. certainly not anything as simple as women have now found emancipation in india (or pakistan or sri lanka or bangladesh).
