Wrote about the representation of caste and religion in #SitaareZameenPar which pushes the boundaries we come to expect in mainstream Hindi cinema. Sadly this comes when Aamir Khan is on a spree of interviews with rather distateful takes.

TISS administration temporarily withdraws termination notices amid public outrage. Mass termination issue remains unresolved. Students deserve adequate number of teachers and staff, and employees deserve permanent solutions, not temporary arrangements.

Read PSF statement.

[Progressive Students' Forum, TISS Mumbai Unit @psftiss]

Strongly Condemn the Mass Termination of around 100 Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff at TISS under the BJP-led Union Government

PSF stands in solidarity with the teachers and staff at TISS
