The greatest lifestyle change in the last decade has been the smartphone. India has one of the cheapest data rates in the world, and women are using it to leapfrog barriers.

A new wave of women is "celebrating with a difference." They are refusing to fast if they are pregnant. They are converting Ganesh Chaturthi into a platform for environmentalism (using clay idols). They are celebrating their own "Baby Showers" ( Godh Bharai ) without the gender-reveal pressures.
