The woman you see in the picture is “Lady Meherbai Tata”.
A diamond of 245 carats is hanging on her neck. It is twice the size of the Kohinoor diamond. This diamond was gifted to her by her husband Dorabji Tata in 1900.
Lady Meherbai Tata played mixed doubles in tennis at the Paris Olympics in 1924. She loved to wear sarees. So she always wore a saree. She died of leukemia in 1931.
Then her husband Dorabji Tata sold her diamonds and all other jewelry and formed a fund and from that fund “Tata Cancer Hospital” was created.
Every year, thousands of cancer patients go to this hospital after treatment and return home cured.
Nobel-winning British writer William Golding said
“Girls look foolish and demand equal rights with men. Because girls don’t know, they are superior to men. Whatever you give to women, she will make it superior.
You give sperm to girls, she will give you children.
You give him a house, she will make it a home.
You give him market, she will cook and prepare food for you.
You give him a smile, she gives you heart.
Whatever you give, she will return it many times greater.
And if you hurt him, be ready, he will make your life hell”
