Informal sector (IS)—which accounts for roughly 96-98% of all non-agri enterprises in India & ~70% of non-agri workforce—has seen a stagnation in its gross value added after 2015.
Stagnation/decline starker in family-based own account enterprises(OAE), comprising 85% of IS.

Similarly, it’s not consumption much of which is itself shaped and driven by production that is the fundamental problem. The problem lies in something intrinsic to the capitalist mode of production itself.

For the confused one: it’s not the availability or supply of clothes that produces rape culture; it’s something intrinsic to patriarchal structures that enables and perpetuates it.

What a society chooses to call “work” reveals what it chooses to value.

BML Munjal University presents a screening of Working Girls, the genre-defying documentary by Ms. Paromita Vohra, exploring the often unseen labour of women across India, from domestic and care work to farming, surrogacy and sex work.

Through lived experiences, humour and music, the film opens up conversations around gender, labour, social reproduction, value and visibility, questioning whose work gets recognised and whose remains overlooked.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Professor Prabha Kotiswaran, Professor of Law and Social Justice, King's College London, bringing perspectives from law, gender and social justice to the conversation.

📅 26 August 2026
��� 1:30 PM onwards
📍 Hub C, BML Munjal University

Join us for an afternoon of film, dialogue and critical reflection.

Understanding how young people envision their futures is also a way of understanding the social and political worlds they inhabit.

The Centre for Child and Youth Transitions (CCYT), BMU School of Liberal Studies, in collaboration with the Max Weber Forum for South Asian Studies (MWF Delhi) and Shiv Nadar University Delhi-NCR, invites scholars, practitioners, and young researchers to the International Seminar on “The Politics of Future-Making: Childhood, Youth and the Global South.”

The seminar brings together perspectives from across the Global South to explore the role of inequalities, aspirations, mobilities, digital cultures, politics, governance, and lived experiences in how young people imagine and create possible futures.

We invite papers, panels, and creative submissions exploring themes including inequalities, mobilities, aspirations, digital cultures, migration, politics and social movements, governance, and the futures of young people.

When institutional authority meets questions of student rights, where does jurisdiction begin, and where does it end?

Prof. Lawrence Liang, School of Law, BML Munjal University, has been quoted in @IndiaToday in its analysis of the NALSAR controversy and the Bar Council of India’s intervention involving the university’s graduating law students.

In his comments, Prof. Liang examines the jurisdictional questions surrounding the BCI’s order, particularly the distinction between disciplinary authority over students and its regulatory powers over enrolled advocates.

The article brings into focus larger questions of institutional autonomy, free speech, and the boundaries of professional regulation within legal education.

Vladimir Lenin wrote Marxism and Revisionism in 1908. https://t.co/Ftaa1niEb5
Marxism continues to be attacked not only from outside, but also from within. Revisionism remains one of the principal ideological challenges confronting Marxism as a revolutionary theory and practice.

It’s important to note that slimming labour market opportunities has been going on for a while in India - farmers protest, manufacturing workers strikes are indicators of that - and now it has come to haunt middle class too. These protests are connected!

"वे डरते हैं
किस चीज़ से डरते हैं वे
तमाम धन-दौलत
गोला-बारूद पुलिस-फ़ौज के बावजूद ?
वे डरते हैं
कि एक दिन
निहत्थे और ग़रीब लोग
उनसे डरना
बंद कर देंगे!"

India's new labour codes are not merely an administrative consolidation of 29 labour laws. They represent the state's attempt to weaken workers' bargaining power, making retrenchment easier, restricting strikes, and diluting labour protections built through decades of struggle.
