In this Saturday, May 11, 2019, photo, a Khasi tribal woman Lona Syngkli carries firewood in a basket swung around her head in Nongpoh, in Meghalaya state, India. Syngkli says she knows nothing about politics but cast her vote because her husband told her to. As women, these voters already face immense hurdles in a nation where women are often relegated to second-class roles. But they are also tribals, India's term for the vast range of indigenous people of South Asia. (AP Photo/Anupam Nath)
