The good thing about the clever, kinda well read, kinda successful & kinda well spoken Indian sophisticates is their belief they're 'self made'. If it wasn't for social access most of us including me would be sitting in a waiting room hoping for an interview. Self made is a myth
How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped? Why do we not know more? Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?

This is barbarism. No other word for it.

This is the report that won @mumbaipressclub's RedInk Award (Women's empowerment, Print category) last night. The award will mean a lot more if anganwadi workers, ASHAs, ANMs and midday meal workers are finally granted the justice they deserve. 1/3 scroll.in/article/102209…
My all-time favorite Venn diagram 😆
We live in a highly patriarchal society. I hv done around 200 kidney transplants. My findings in my series: 1. Around 80-90 % of Kidney Transplant Recipients are men. When a woman develops ESRD( Kidney Failure), it is very hard to find a Kidney donor, among the relatives. 2. In…

Did you know that when a woman gets diagnosed with cancer, her husband leaves in 21% of cases? When the genders are reversed, that number is only 3%. Despite the fact that men whine about not receiving unconditional love from women, their love is far more conditional than ours.
WiEP is back with the III cohort of the Young Women in Economics Program! Through #YWEP we connect young economics graduates in non-elite colleges, Bahujan students and LGBTQ+ students across India with female Economics and Policy professionals for guidance.
This image breaks me. At 2.7 degrees of warming, which is our present policy trajectory, two billion people will be exposed to extreme heat. 99.7% of those people live in the global South. People who have done nothing to cause this crisis. The injustice is staggering.
Public policy idea: require colleges to demonstrate where new students will live, as a condition of expanding their enrolment. If there is an existing housing shortage where they are located, they must build new residences before expanding enrolment. Colleges need to take…
I took advantage of my family's social capital, my generational wealth and an education a small percentage of the population can even dream of but apart from that, I'm completely self-made.

'Globalization, seen in recent decades as unstoppable a force as gravity, is clearly evolving in unpredictable ways. The move away from an integrated world economy is accelerating. And the best way to respond is a subject of fierce debate.' A brilliant read!

When the govt starts shielding sex offenders, granting clemency to gangrapists.... it is is the textbook definition of “rape culture” - an environment in which rape is not simply common-place - it is normalized, excused, celebrated. That's India today.
The issue of respectability in dress, and what constitutes "proper" attire in public, has raged for as long as people have worn clothes. People who take this position fail to recognize that their own clothes were once the "yoga pants" of their day. I will run through examples 🧵

One thing I found interesting was that the protest organisers studied the Columbia archives to learn from the 1968 protest movement. They copied their tactics and later invited some 1968 vets to campus. Story on that here: independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

John Oliver on Gaza protests: “Protest is meant to be disruptive…34,000 people have been killed, most of them women & children…the US continues to supply Israel funding & arms for all of this, even as Gaza sinks into famine. If that’s not worth protesting, I’m not sure what is”
