AH, OK, yes. Still, “not vocal” does not (necessarily) equate to introverted. Especially in a conservative society or a society where men and women do not mix much. Here in the US, cultural pressure makes many Introverts feel they are required to act “outgoing” (which does’t make them extraverts). So, people (e.g. women) in some societies may be _perceived_ as Introverts (or shy or quiet) based on cultural pressure.
But from some things I’ve read about women’s groups in India. they’re certainly not “less vocal” when they’re in groups together. Pradyut – my guess is that if you were to observe a group of Indian women together where they feel comfortable and don’t feel that society is making demands on them, you would find that they vary greatly in how vocal they are, individually.

I understand that’s its amusing but he may particularly mean in their conservative society that women are less vocal.

“In a general context ,women are known to be considerably less vocal about their opinion when compared to men.”

Huh?
