“I won’t worry about you, Kavita. You have strength. Fortitude. Shakti. Bombay will bring you hardship. But you, beti, have the strength to endure it.”
I read cross this sentence in a novel written by an Indian-Canadian.
I know Shalti is a goddess of Hinduism . But I don't know why does the author mention the Goddess here. Who can tell me why?
@Nancy88,
Shakti is the Hindi word for strength.
She really is saying you have strength, and not referring to the goddess Durga who symbolizes "shakti".
