Chuck:

To Rukmini's credit, there were two activities in which she did some good.
The first was reviving the traditional Indian Dance which was one time
practiced only by Temple Women. She was the first one to from the elite
Indian Class to take up the dance. She has built a University for Dance and
Music and Arts and is very famous in India today. Today Indian Dance is art
of choice of everybody in India and even for most of the Indians in the USA.
She was also very active in animal welfare movement in India and was
responsible for many legislative changes as she was a member of the upper
chamber of the Parliament.
