In his speech finally breaking the silence on Manipur, Modi said “the number and identity of the perpetrators is one thing but the crime is an insult to the entire country.” My op-ed on why identity of sexual violence victims and accused matters, always! https://t.co/XJUs1MmAFB

When will residents of Ambedkar Nagar receive any relief? Badly affected in 2019 wall collapse, Covid, Cyclone Taukte and @mybmc has zero plan of action. Survivors take to @prabhu_suneel office for their long-standing rehabilitation demand

Shiv Kumar was arrested earlier this year, along with Nodeep Kaur, for leading a protest by workers against denying wages. Kumar, a labour rights activist from the Dalit community, was tortured and beaten up in jail, and subjected to casteist slurs by the Haryana police.
The pandemic can only be dealt with through collective effort. Caste also made collective effort of getting over this public health crisis more difficult.
While caste inequality and caste discrimination are mentioned, though both are important topics, they don't capture the manner in which caste influences the very makeup of the economy.
