Not the brahmin's wife

I've just done a google search on 'brahminwife' to see if my blog turned up. (It didn't.) So as suggested by Google-ji, I amended the search to 'brahmin wife'. What came up? No, not some sort of tacky browsers' wives site. And not a brahmin wife in site. The top twenty sites (apart from one reference to a 'Boston Brahmin wife') were all references to the 'brahmin's wife'. Isn't that remarkable. In all cases, the wife was entirely defined by her husband.

Wouldn't happen in this household! And it certainly says something rather unsettling about gender in India.
