Delhi's heat wave is NOT equal in impact.
Marginalized-caste communities living in informal settlements, homeless shelters; & workers in heat-exposed sectors are most vulnerable.
Climate policy must center on caste & class.
I was called to speak on the @BBC earlier this week.
🧵: Numerous heat records were broken across the globe this year.
With rising heat across South Asia, I spoke to women for @newhumanitarian to assess the effects of the sweltering heat waves on the lives of marginalized women.

"women are a different caste altogether" then why did the state failed to give Manisha Valmiki's family justice like Jyoti Pandey's family got theirs?

Okay, that’s it! I’m coming out, finally. I am non-binary. I don’t identify as a cisman. After 26 years of trying to understand myself and trying to find courage, I am finally comfortable and don’t really care about anyone’s opinions. I am nonbinary!
Siddique Kappan will finally be able to walk out of jail to his family and friends. Praying for the release of all political prisoners and Abbu. InshaAllah.
Being a muslim in India’s best city - Mumbai
(1) can’t have your name in the lease agreement
(2) landlord asks you to conceal your identity
(3) neighbours find out you are a muslim
(4) landlord asks you to vacate the house in 10 days
@SuprakashJourno@RanaAyyub @unscriptednews_ Absolutely agree with you. Also thinking about how casteism in Muslims is invisibilised. How even within this binary, islamophobia first affects the lower caste muslims.
Ranjita Majhi, 33, a Khond Adivasi woman, gave birth to a baby boy. She was elated as she had taken a ₹30,000 loan for the delivery. Her anemia prevented a normal delivery. All was well, but the child died in 4 days. I report.
A thread, stay with me.

men who don’t stand for their sisters when discriminated against in their own house deserve a special place in hell.
you know it's wrong; you are just afraid of losing your male privilege.
@ityade I agree but I also feel like it has been really hard on our teachers. I feel bad for teachers and the effort they put in not even 10% is reciprocated.
