A lot of people talk about women’s empowerment today, often for their own ends, often used to push one agenda or another. And that’s what makes Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve's life worth learning from even today.

We extradited Tahawwur Hussain Rana to India to face charges for his role in planning the horrific 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. Together, with India, we've long sought justice for the 166 people, including 6 Americans, who lost their lives in these attacks. I'm glad that day has come.
