Name of the Topic
Women Empowerment in India 
Topic/Angle/Purpose of the Talk Show (TED TALK)
Topic of the TED TALK and Angle of the Argument of the Speaker:
The main topic of the TED TALK show is Empowerment of Women in India. From the birth of civilization, women not only in India but also in other parts of the country are regarded as second class citizens whose main errand in life is expected to be get married with a suitable husband, take care of her husband and his family. I have selected this particular talk show topic because I think if we really want to make civilization potential then it is very potential to make women potential and they should be given a scope to do what they intend to do. The fact is that if women intend to be a NASA scientist or a Dancer, it should be completely her decision.
