His name is Jatin Mehta. He ran a diamond and jewellery empire. His flagship company was called Winsome Diamonds and Jewellery, along with a sister firm, Forever Precious. For years, they were among the larger names in India’s gold and diamond trade. The way the business was funded is the heart of the story. Around 2008, a group of Indian banks arranged for large quantities of gold to be supplied to his companies by international bullion banks. The Indian banks acted as guarantors. The arrangement was simple. If Mehta’s companies failed to pay the foreign suppliers for the gold, the Indian banks would have to step in and pay instead. Much of that money ultimately came from public sector banks, funded by ordinary depositors. By 2013, his companies stopped paying. The default amounted to around seven thousand crore rupees. When the banks asked where the money had gone, Mehta’s side said that thirteen overseas buyers in the UAE had failed to pay him and that he had simply passed the losses on. Investigators later alleged something very different. They claimed the buyers were not independent companies at all, but part of a network of shell entities linked to interests controlled by the Mehta family. They further alleged that funds had been routed through multiple countries. By the time agencies in India moved, Jatin Mehta and his family had already left the country. In 2014, he acquired citizenship of the Caribbean nation of St Kitts and Nevis. Indian agencies later declared him a wilful defaulter and a fugitive economic offender. Cases were filed and properties were attached. Very little of the money has ever been recovered. Years later, a court in the United Kingdom froze assets worth close to a billion dollars linked to the family, stating there was strong evidence of fraud. The family denies any wrongdoing. Jatin Mehta is often mentioned alongside Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi as one of the businessmen who left India owing banks thousands of crores. His name is simply the least famous of the three.

Her name is Ummul Kher. She was born with a condition called brittle bone disease. Through her childhood, her bones broke again and again. The smallest fall was enough to cause a fracture. By the time she reached adulthood, she had suffered sixteen fractures and undergone eight surgeries. Her family had moved to Delhi from Rajasthan when she was around five years old. Her father sold clothes as a street vendor near the Nizamuddin shrine, and the family lived in a nearby slum. Then the slum was demolished to make way for a flyover. The family decided to return to Rajasthan. Ummul, then around fourteen, refused to go. She wanted to continue her education. Her parents believed a disabled girl had studied enough and should not spend her life chasing books. They left. She stayed behind in Delhi alone. A fourteen-year-old girl with bones that broke at a touch, no family around her and almost no money decided she would educate herself anyway. She rented a tiny room and survived by tutoring children from nearby slums. She earned a little from the families who could afford to pay and continued studying with whatever resources she could find. She scored ninety-one percent in Class 12. She earned admission to Gargi College at Delhi University. From there, she went on to complete a master’s degree, an M.Phil and a Ph.D at Jawaharlal Nehru University. Along the way, she was awarded a national research fellowship. In 2016, she appeared for the Civil Services Examination, one of the most competitive examinations in the country. She cleared it on her first attempt. She became an officer of the Indian Administrative Service. Her parents left her behind at fourteen because they believed a girl with broken bones had no future worth investing in. She built one of the hardest futures this country has to offer, entirely on her own. Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

His name is Ranjitsinh Disale. He wanted to be an engineer. When that did not work out, his father suggested he train as a teacher instead. In 2009, he was posted to a government primary school in Paritewadi, a small village in Solapur district, Maharashtra. The school was a crumbling building wedged between two storerooms, one of which had been used as a cattle shed. What he found there troubled him. Girls were being married off young instead of being sent to class. Attendance was poor. The textbooks were written in a language many of the children, who spoke Kannada at home, could not properly read. He decided to fix all of it, starting with the books. He learned the children’s mother tongue and rewrote their textbooks in a language they could actually understand. Then he did something no one in India was doing at the time. He printed unique QR codes inside the textbooks, allowing students with access to a phone to scan a page and instantly access audio poems, video lessons and practice questions. A village school in Solapur had built a digital classroom out of paper and printed squares. The results changed the village. Girls’ attendance reached nearly one hundred percent. Teenage marriages in the area stopped. His QR code idea worked so well that the Maharashtra government adopted it across the state. The following year, the national education body embedded QR codes in textbooks across the country. In 2020, Ranjitsinh Disale won the Global Teacher Prize. He was chosen from more than twelve thousand nominations across roughly one hundred and forty countries and was the only Indian in the top ten. The award carried one million dollars, around seven crore rupees. Then he did something no winner had ever done before. He announced that he would give away half the prize money, dividing it equally among the other nine finalists so that their work could continue as well. He said teachers are the real change makers. He meant all of them, not just himself. A man who became a teacher only because engineering did not work out changed how an entire country learns, and then gave half his fortune to the people he had competed against.

Her name is Ilma Afroz. She grew up in Kundarki, a small town in the Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh. Her father was a farmer who taught her to notice the quiet workings of nature. When she was fourteen, he died of cancer. Everything fell on her mother, who was unwell herself. People in the town gave her the usual advice. Save whatever money you have for the girl’s dowry, marry her off, and be done with it. Her mother refused. She worked the fields, raised her daughter and young son alone, and spent what little the family had on her daughter’s education instead. That decision took Ilma a very long way. She studied philosophy at St Stephen’s College in Delhi, one of the country’s finest institutions. She later won a scholarship to the University of Oxford. For a time, she lived in New York and had the opportunity to build a comfortable life abroad. But every time she returned home, villagers approached her with the same requests. They needed help with ration cards, government forms and hospital visits. She realised her life’s work was back in India. In 2017, she cleared the Civil Services Examination and joined the Indian Police Service. As Superintendent of Police, she took on the illegal mining mafia operating in her district. Her team stopped and penalised dozens of trucks and seized machinery being used to extract sand and minerals illegally. Many of the vehicles belonged to powerful and well-connected interests. The pressure came quickly. She was pushed onto extended leave and transferred between postings. She did not apologise for doing her job. The girl whom many believed should be married off after her father’s death instead became an IPS officer. Today, she confronts powerful criminal networks that most people will never see.

Zahraa Sobhy was savagely beaten by her husband, Adnan, because he wanted to marry some other woman. Why are so-called "feminists" silent on this? Whose ancestors built this cool stuff?
