*Unlike Sabal, who is more rooted in the past traditions of Kyrat, Amita urges for progress and is more interested in modernizing the country. She is one of two hidden antagonists in Far Cry 4, along with Sabal.

Amita is from the North of Kyrat. When she was six years old, her parents told her she had to get married; child marriage is traditional and commonplace in Kyrat, which also affected Ishwari Ghale , who was born in 1968 and her wedding was in 1981. This experience influenced Amita's hatred of Kyrati tradition.

Amita has no respect for Mohan Ghale - while Sabal calls Ajay 'son of Mohan', Amita tends to bring up his mother Ishwari instead. She views Kyrati tradition as oppressive and backwards. She is instead the leader of the Golden Path's modern faction. She is considered the group's first official female member, and is the reason why women are now allowed to join the Golden Path, against Mohan Ghale's original wishes.

Amita realizes that the Golden Path is failing because they are waging a war they cannot afford to perpetuate. Kyrat's infrastructure is limited and weak after decades of war, and the country cannot be rebuilt without a firm financial foundation. To this end, she believes in using Kyrat’s thriving drug trade to fund the Golden Path - although she recognizes its dubious morality, she states that being 'morally bankrupt' is still "better than being literally bankrupt."[1] Unlike Sabal, she is never shown to engage in the local religion, and has no religious reservations about growing opium.

Along with the drug issue, Amita is also head to head with Sabal over the installation of Bhadra as the next Tarun Matara. She sees the practice as robbing Bhadra and other young girls of a good education and a social life. If made leader she believes destroying Jalendu Temple would liberate the women of Kyrat (including Bhadra) and free the country from outdated traditions.

Sabal's idolisation of Mohan, despite him marrying a 13 year-old as an adult, further divides the two leaders. She believes that leaving behind outdated Kyrati traditions and religion is the only way to ensure a stable future for the country.

Amita's desire to move Kyrat away from their faith and modernize the country at the expense of traditional Kyrati values drives away Sabal and others who find these things still hold value. On the other side, Sabal's drive to re-install and support the old traditions of Kyrat without being willing to accept criticism on the harm these traditions can do, divided the Golden Path and drove away Amita and her supporters, who wanted to see more modern changes and improvements.

Amita is more practical-minded than Sabal - she is more concerned with the economical state of Kyrat and what will come after the war is over. She's highly motivated, but prefers to direct others to carry out her commands for her, understanding that she is most powerful as a commanding force. For instance, she orders Ajay to take out artillery for her instead of directly evacuating Utkarsh herself, which turns out very well if executed properly by the player. She's can be incredibly brave and strong-willed, as she is able to withstand the traditional sexism and gender roles she faces from her culture and people[3] as a female leader of the Golden Path, and is courageous enough to go looking for Ajay herself in dangerously cold conditions when he goes missing post-Durgesh. She is highly intelligent but also able to persuade people using their emotions,

Later in the game, her darker side begins to show. She can become a ruthless totalitarian who uses fear of violence to coerce others.[4] The end of the game parallels Sabal with Mohan and Amita with Pagan, and insinuates that the cycle of violence in the country started by Pagan and Mohan is repeated via Amita and Sabal.*
