Mumbai, Jul 15 (IANS): Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is amazed with the way women are progressing and says that the time is not too far away when "women shall rule the world".

The 69-year-old was in Ranthambore as a part of NDTV's "Save Our Tigers" campaign and is surprised to see how young girls are single-highhandedly managing the task to make the show successful.

"It is complete madness! The screaming and shouting of the time left...and all this for one program...But remarkably, what needs to be paid attention to is that it is being managed and operated by women - 90 percent of them!! And I am told when the station started, the average age of those in command was 25 years! This is modern India. This is women power. This is awesome," Amitabh posted on his blog srbachchan.tumblr.com.

"...It has been not just a great experience for me, but a moment of immense pride! May they prosper ever and continue to assert themselves in the years to come. The time is not too far away when women shall rule the world, taking over from the men, if they have not already," he further posted.
