"She is my mother, and she is also the reflection of Mother India, a land where temples, mosques, churches, and gurdwaras rise together under the same sky.. Where the language of love is spoken louder than the language of division." "On this Mother's Day, I celebrate not just my Ma, but every mother who teaches us to embrace, include, and love. This is the India I believe in. This is the love I was raised with," she wrote.
