Super excited to share that my article in the edited volume "Women and Buddhism: Perspectives on Gender, Culture and Empowerment", published by @ignca_delhi, finally sees the light of the day! This marks my first book chapter in an international publication!

I am currently engaged in my PhD research on the women painters of the early 20th c. India and have written several articles for @theheritagelab. Also, I have written an article on the same topic in the Dec 2020 issue of @_margfoundation magazine.

@MedhaviGandhi @AruneshV All work, no acknowledgement! And therein lies the plight of young researchers.

The fact that a man took time out of his day to create this graphic makes me really sad. Things need to change #WomenInSTEM #STEM

Remembering #ChitranibhaChowdhury, on her 106th birth anniversary. She was one of the earliest students of #NandalalBose and a close associate of #RabindranathTagore. She is first female professor of #KalaBhavan_Shantiniketan who remains amnesiac till date. @artbma @DAGworld

[Shilpi Das @SearchingShilpi]

Happy Birthday to Indian painter, #ChitranibhaChowdhury (1913-1991). The first woman painter of Bangladesh and Shantiniketan’s first female professor was born on this day 106 years ago.

Who doesn't know this iconic painting titled 'Bharat-Mata' by Abanindranath Tagore! But #DidYouKnow, the inspiration behind it was none other than Sister Nivedita https://t.co/SnEMsp2Vtf who shaped the discourse on #nationalism - by @ShilpiD11651214 #MondayMotivaton #art !

On #NationalSiblingsDay : meet Mangala Bayi, sister of the world-famous #RaviVarma & a largely forgotten artist 👩🏻‍🎨 Even though she was exceptional in portraiture (she made this one of him), & collaborated w/ the brother many times, her art remains invisible! #5womenartists
