The Harish C. Mahindra Lecture Series is given in honor of the late
Harish C. Mahindra, a distinguished alumnus of Harvard College and a
visionary leader of business and industry in India. The lecture is an
important component in continuing the education and understanding of
the challenges facing South Asia, and provides an ideal forum for the
next generation of global leadership. This year, Devaki Jain will be
giving the Mahindra Lecture. Devaki Jain is an Indian economist and
writer who has made significant contributions to feminist economics,
social justice, and women's empowerment in India. In 2006, she was
awarded the Padma Bhushan — the third-highest civilian honor from the
Government of India — for her contributions to society. In this
lecture, she will weave her own personal story into the political
story of India and discuss her engagement with public life, activism,
and her current work in feminist economics.
