A small milestone I’m happy to share. My piece in @the_hindu came out today.
For years, “speedy trials” in POCSO cases have been framed as victories. The field reality is tougher.

Ray has long been misread through ideological convenience and lazy takes. My piece, published in today’s (July 21) Telegraph India print edition, looks at why that keeps happening.

#OPINION | The charge that Ray peddled poverty to the West has circulated since the 1950s when some commentators worried that his early films about rural Bengal would confirm foreign stereotypes, writes Rahul Verma

What happens to school as a secular space whn a public welfare function is outsourced to a religious org? In my piece, I examine the WB govt's decision to hand mid-day meals to ISKCON & what the loss of the school egg signals about institutional neutrality & cultural imposition.

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

Bengal’s decision to replace eggs in mid-day meals with NGO-run vegetarian menus has sparked debate, with critics pointing to Tamil Nadu and Odisha’s models that continue to prioritise eggs through public provisioning.

When access to higher education is rationed through a single high-stakes test, classroom time becomes expendable.

For @TheIndiaForum, I write on the systemic trap of 'dummy schooling' in India, credentialism & why coaching centers are replacing classrooms.

[The India Forum @TheIndiaForum]

Dummy schools—where students remain enrolled but attend coaching centres—is not a regulatory failure but a structural outcome. When entrance exams control access to higher education, classroom learning becomes peripheral.

Excited to share my first article in Frontline, India’s deferred future. It looks at how India’s demographic window is being met by a politics of delay and deferral.

I heard the only thing missing from Dhurandar 2 is the "Modi hai to mumkin hai" song… everything else already sounds like it’s playing in the background.

Cases are disposed of & convictions fall, children testify alone & families struggle with the legal process long after verdicts.

India has lost a giant. Dr Madhav Gadgil lived simply, walked widely, questioned hegemonic power, and knew the land like no one else.
'This Fissured Land: An Ecological History of India' by Dr Madhav Gadgil and @Ram_Guha is a canonical text that shaped my conservation philosophy- as it did for so many other young Indians.

Rest in power, Dr Gadgil.

India’s always-on work culture exhausts workers with endless emails/apps/calls. My new @the_hindu piece probes unpaid after-hours labour, caste/gender inequities & a legal right to disconnect.
