Ankana Daga
Men Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Wolf Grey Game Royalblue Wolf Grey is an Indian ninth grader who shares many of the same tastes, interests, and habits
Nike Roshe Run Woven Men Red Black Quilted as bright kids anywhere in
Nike Roshe PRM Men Anthracite Grey Blue Glow Sail White the "globalized"
Nike Roshe Run PRM Men Wolf Grey Cool Grey Volt world. She
Nike Roshe Run PRM Men Black Anthracite Siren Red teaches roller skating, studies classical Indian dance, reads John Grisham, swaps Celine Dion CDs, and has a crush
Men Nike Free Run 5.0 Turquoise Volt Fiberglass Anthracite on Brad Pitt.

She also scores above 90 percent
Men Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Grey Gym Red on crucial tests at Delhi Public School, one of the most competitive in India. Since third grade, she has subscribed to The Times
Men Nike Free Run 3 Pure Platinum Reflect Silver Volt of India. She studies three languages, including Latin other subjects include physics, chemistry, and higher math.

For
Nike Roshe Run Men Hyper Blue Yellow years, India was seen
Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Black New Green as not
Women Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Dark Grey Cool Grey Volt Quilted quite East, not quite West, not a Soviet satellite, not an American ally. But today the world’s
Women Nike Free Run 2 Blue White Yellow second most populous country is opening, developing nuclear weapons and demanding recognition as "a great power."

Ankana herself hardly thinks in such grandiose terms. She would rather discuss involved theories about popular culture why "Titanic" is overrated, why the and Hindi films
Men Nike Free Run 3 Granite Blue Glow Pro Platinum are "so fake." In keeping with the northern Indian Punjabi culture of living life
Nike Roshe PRM Women Aubergine Sail White Electric Green to the fullest, Ankana moves
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Women Navy Dark Grey effortlessly from parties to homework to after school science projects
Men Nike Free Run 2 Anthracite Black White Red
Nike Roshe Run PRM Men Anthracite Carbon Grey Siren Red despite an intense competition that
Women Nike Free Run 2 Pink White Quilted by now for her is routine.

Her grandmother was an
Women Nike Free Run 2 Black White Purple Anthracite illiterate girl from the traditional princely desert kingdom of Rajasthan. But Ankana is part of the growing upper middle
Nike Roshe Run PRM Men Wolf Grey Peacock Blue class
Nike Free Run 4.0 Hot Punch Reflect Silver Wolf Grey Women of English speaking urban India, the India most often projected to the West. For her, the sky is the limit.

Moreover, in
Men Nike Free Run 3 Wolf Grey Gym Red Stealth Ankana’s generation and economic class, Indian women make choices they’ve never had before: about when or if they will marry,
Women Nike Free Run 2 Pink White Lime Yellow living abroad (most want to), a career. They don’t think of being "allowed" these choices. They just make
Nike Roshe Run Woven Men White Black them. In fact, if you are
Women Nike Free Run 2 Red White Black an American earning more
Nike Roshe Run Woven Men Royal White than $50,000 a year, Ankana may more likely be a neighbor of yours one day than a less accomplished US girl across town.

"These girls are more confident, much more clear than we were 20 years ago," says Neerja Jawa, Ankana’s physics teacher. "They are very different. They’ve grown up thinking of
Nike Roshe Run PRM Men Blue Glow Volt White many possibilities. We used to
Women Nike Free Run 2 Anthracite Black Red White believe
Men Nike Free Run 2 Black White Anthracite Quilted things unquestioningly, blindly. They don’t. The reason is TV and media."

Still, nothing in emerging India is so simple.
Women Nike Free Run 2 Shield Stealth Black Yellow Grey Quilted India’s female literacy rates are improving somewhat, and stubborn patriarchal traits are being challenged. But to understand Ankana’s place in India, it’s worth examining the cultural context:
Men Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Cool Grey Reflective Silver Black Educationally, socially, and financially Ankana is in an elite
Women Nike Free Run 3 Total Orange Silver Platinum Volt strata of Indian society. Only between 0.5 and 1 percent of
Men Nike Free Run 2 Black White Green India’s current generation of students will graduate from 12th grade and go to college. Ankana is likely one of them. She sits at the top of a national school system
Wmns Nike Free Run 3 Cool Grey Silver Sail University Red that is highly selective and not
Men Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Teal Blue very forgiving.
Women Nike Free Run 5.0+ Pink Grey US schools, by comparison, are
Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Solar Red relatively generous;
Women Nike Free Run 3 Fireberry Electric Green they leave room for experimentation and failure and
Women Nike Free Run 3 Total Orange Silver Platinum Volt stress remedial education. Most offer large doses of liberal arts and humanities; and there are some 3,500 institutions of
Men Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Royal Blue higher learning in the United States to choose from.

In India, however, students who lose a year, or
Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Blue Quilted fall behind even a semester, may not
Nike Roshe Run Dark Borland Orange Electricyellow Quilted be able to make up the work, or they may be forced to abandon career
Women Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Teal Blue plans that
Men Nike Free Run 2 Shield Grey Black Purple require a college degree.

A
Nike Roshe Run Lizards Brown Black White Sails Quilted selection machine

India today has 214 universities, up from 30 in 1950. But
Nike Roshe Run Men Red White only about 5 percent of all 12th grade graduates will find a seat in those colleges.

"India’s education system is a selection machine," says Krishna Kumar, a leading educator at Delhi University. "In a chaotic
Nike Roshe Run Woven Men Black country, this system supports a coherent functioning of
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Women Black Pink the economy by throwing
Nike Free 2 Anthracite White Green Grey Black Women out aspirants who can’t
Men Nike Free Run 3.0 Total Orange Neon Reflective Silver Wolf Grey make
Women Nike Free Run 2 Turquoise White Orange it. It’s just like
Nike Roshe Run Carton Blue that."

The biggest moment of selection in any Indian
Nike Roshe Run Men Hyper Blue Yellow student’s life is the 10th grade test. The all India government exams are a hurdle every student must surmount. Not scoring well shuts many potential doors not just key 11th and 12th grade math classes, but perhaps study abroad, certain
Women Nike Free Run 2 Shield Stealth Black Orange White jobs, and even certain lives. All students and parents know the importance of the
Men Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Blue exam. They dread it and prepare for it. When a student is at about the eighth grade, parents from south Tamil Nadu to upper Punjab start turning
Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Blue Quilted
Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Volt off the TV and closely monitoring their offspring’s study habits.

"The board exam makes you," says Vyoma Jha, one of Ankana’s five best friends in ninth grade at Delhi Public School. "The cutoff
Women Nike Free Run 2 Pink White Orange Red Quilted is 87
Nike Roshe Run Khaki White percent, and we are all aware of that. I’m going to study hard. But I’m not going to stress. If you study too hard, everything gets jumbled in your head."

For Ankana, there
Wmns Nike Free Run 3 Cool Grey Silver Sail University Red is not too much to worry about. She is talented, and her
Women Nike Free Run 2 Shield Wolf Grey Black Solar Red background her school, neighborhood, and family
Men Nike Free 4.0 Game Royal Blue Electric Green Pure Platinum are powerful
Roshe Run PRM Men Hazelnut Oxford Brown Anthracite Sail White supports.

It helps, for
Women Nike Free Run 2 Blue White Wolf Grey example, to have a genial physician
Men Nike Free Run 2 Shield Grey Black Turquoise Grey for a father,
Men Nike Free Run 3.0 Chrome Yellow Reflect Silver Platinum White a patient mother who runs a skating rink
Men Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Dark Grey Electric Green Wolf Grey and
Women Nike Free Run 3 Gym Red White Reflect Silver Volt to live in Vasant Kunj.
Nike Roshe PRM Women Aubergine Sail White Electric Green Vasant Kunj is not a
Men Nike Free Run 2 Shield Grey Black Turquoise Grey wealthy suburb like the Scarsdale style, farm house communities outside Delhi. But its comfortable apartments reflect
Women Nike Free Run 3 Tiffany Blue an upper middle
Women Nike Free Run 2 Pink White Lime Yellow class mindset and pocketbook. Most adults have cars. There
Men Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Anthracite Teal Quilted is tennis for kids, and a new culture of private
Women Nike Free Run 3 Magenta Silver Platinum Purple gyms. Doctors, architects, civil engineers, and professors casually talk about relatives who live in the US and Great Britain, and most people have at least one relative in that category. Families hold birthday parties for kids at nice Delhi clubs.
Nike Roshe Run Carton Blue Residents know the
Men Nike Free Run 2 Blue White Yellow Quilted connections, the sacrifice, and the right schools that it takes to succeed.

By the standards of what is sometimes called the "liberal West," the Daga family would certainly be considered "enlightened." It is the
Women Nike Free Run 5.0+ Pink White kind of family that "likes to sit around and talk at night, usually about everything," as Santosh Daga, Ankana’s mother, puts it.

Both parents hail from Rajasthan, where village girls are
Women Free Run 3 Prism Blue Reflective Silver Pure Platinum Volt married by age 15. But the cosmopolitan Dagas retain few patriarchal views. Neither parent is bothered if their daughter, "marries early or late," says Mridul Daga, aka "Dad." "We will let her choose. We just want her to be happy." Ankana, who speaks rapid fire English
Men Nike Free Run 2 Anthracite Grey White Black Yellow with precision and confidence, says, "OK, we talk about our crushes with friends, but marriage is something beyond my conception right now."

Dating on the sly

Dating in
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Women Navy Dark Grey India is still fairly frowned upon, even in cities. But
Nike Roshe Run Wolf Grey Carton Green it is on the rise.
Men Nike Free Run 3 Chrome Yellow Silver Platinum White Quilted At DPS, dating is done on the sly, Ankana says. Students bring casual clothes to school, then "bunk" the day stay out, and come back to school and change back into uniform. Mainly, they do so to be popular, she says:

"Being cool means wearing shabby clothes; you have to have Nike
Nike Roshe Run Hazel Color Oxford Brown shoes. You have to be seen as slightly rebellious. For example, carrying water bottles
Women Nike Free Run 2 Grey Sail Pink White [Indian parents send kids to school with water] is considered highly stupid.

"Being popular means using abusive
Men Nike Free Run 3 Cool Grey Silver Sail University Red language, being on the negative side of the teacher, and having
Nike Free Run 3 Anthracite Gray Reflect Silver New Green Women boys after you. We
Nike Roshe Run Men Obsidian Volt all have crushes. I like
Men Nike Free Run 3 Gym Red White Reflect Silver Volt and Brad Pitt, and I still like [Indian film star] Sharruk Khan, even
Women Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Stealth Reflective Silver Volt though he’s not good looking from any angle."

But
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Women Grey Pink Quilted the qualities of
Wmns Nike Free Run 3 Cool Grey Silver Sail University Red cool aren’t going to help anyone in navigating the academic rigors of a school like DPS.

What DPS most excels in is
Men Nike Free Run 2 Blue White Wolf Grey test preparation, all leading up to the 10th
Nike Roshe Run Woven Men White Black grade
Nike Free Run 3.0 Prism Blue Reflect Silver Pure Platinum Women exam. The school
Men Nike Free Run 2 Stealth Black White gives three major exams a year that require two
Nike Roshe Run Women Obsidian Volt weeks
Men Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Blue of study so concentrated that some students plan their weeks to the hour. When Ankana returned from summer vacation, for
Men Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Light Charcoal Silver Chrome Yellow example, her first
Nike Roshe Run Women Grey Blue activity was
Women Nike Free Run 3 Fireberry Electric Green an algebra quiz. No problem. She had spent her vacation finishing the entire math syllabus for the next
Men Nike Free Run 5.0+ Sky Blue Total Crimson semester.

If tests are a mainstay at DPS, computer science is a speciality. By Grade 2, every child is familiar with the keyboard and screen, and can run Windows software. They take computer science class at Grade 5. They are expected to master HTML by
Men Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Gym Red Reflective Silver Pro Platinum Grade 7, programming in Grade 8, and advanced databases by Grade 9. DPS is a prime
Roshe Run Wmns Hyper Blue Silver Yellow feeder school for the
Nike Roshe Run Men Black White newly famous Indian
Nike Roshe Run Men Black Volt institutions called IITs, or Indian Institutes
Men Nike Free Run 2 Blue Glow White Black Volt of
Men Nike Free Run 2 Red Gold Black White Technology.

IITs have captured the imagination of the Indian public
Men Nike Free Run 2 Black Gym Red Quilted since their
Men Nike Free Run 3 Deep Royal Blue Silver Volt Quilted graduates often have the pick of American high tech companies, or local corporations here. A high ranking Indian government education official says that Indian kids today can all "go to an IIT and work abroad, or at
Men Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Dark Grey Wolf Grey corporations that have fountains out front, green lawns, and Western salaries."

The
Men Nike Free Run 2 Anthracite White Green Grey Black reality is less rosy. To apply to an IIT requires a special, more rigorous computer
Men Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Wolf Grey Reflect Silver Blue Glow study track
Men Nike Free Run 2 Grey White Teal Blue for
Nike Roshe Women Grey Black New Green students
Roshe Run PRM Men Black Metallic Silver Yellow in 10th through 12th grade. Each year, some 400,000 students apply to IITs; yet the IITs themselves have room for only 3,500 students.

Students who forget this competitive world have only to look at the large mural on the
Nike Roshe Run Black Motion Green wall in the main foyer outside Ms. Chona’s office: A copy of what looks like a
Men Nike Free Run 3 Deep Royal Blue Silver Volt Quilted
Men Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Grey Gym Red 19th century Delacroix, of a tiger who has leaped ravenously on
Women Nike Free Run 3 Black Silver White top of a horse.
