The sexual division of labour is that idea which assigns earning to men and home to women, a box that made me leave my nursing job. India’s female workforce percentage is a sad, low number they quote, but that number is built from countless small surrenders like my own. You see, when my father fell ill, I was the daughter, so it was *hoyto* my duty to stay—not my brother’s in Delhi. The statistics forget the taste of that particular tea, brewed in the quiet house of a morning while your uniform hangs unused in the cupboard.
