Although women led protests have made their indelible mark throughout the pages of history, it is a fact that they have met with stern resistance, almost always. My article on Challenging gender order in sociopolitical protests #gender @womenwritersnet https://t.co/8QJnYQf41S

#ManmohanSingh, a distinguished economist, played a pivotal role in sustaining the nation’s economy, particularly during the economic crisis of the 2000s. Here is a brief timeline of his illustrious career:

Dr. Manmohan Singh’s 1991 budget unshackled India’s economy, significantly enhancing the economic prospects for hundreds of millions of Indians. His visionary reforms inspired countless young economists like me. Rest in peace, Dr. Manmohan Singh.

I wrote this short blurb about Michael J Fox (@realmikefox) for the annual #Time100. This man means a lot to me. And I know he means a lot to you… ⬇️

I know Michael J. Fox. Like, I know him pretty damn well. He’s funny. He’s warm. He’s handsome and intensely smart. He also falls a lot. Not just because he has Parkinson’s. He falls a lot because he’s unafraid to fly.

I met Mike 17 years ago. I’ve watched him raise the bar for purpose and passion. It’d be kinda lazy to simply characterize him as the greatest champion of Parkinson’s research on the planet. He’s someone who helped my dad, along with millions of others, feel less alone. It’d be kinda lazy to simply regard him as a movie star who shaped the lives of people all over the planet with a uniquely electric wit and self-aware charm. He’s the sum of these beautiful parts. And so many more.

Last year I watched Back to the Future with my 8-year-old daughter. It’s become her favourite film. And for now, that’s enough for me—and her. One more kid from one more generation sees what I saw.

I know how lucky I am to call Mike a friend. She still has no idea that I know him. I don’t need to teach my daughter the level of compassion Mike has mastered. Or teach her to tell stories the way Mike tells stories. I need to teach her that it’s OK to fall a lot. It’s the absolute best way to know you’re flying.

The horrific #Manipur video is NOT FAKE. I spent hours with one of the women seen in the viral video. She described vividly what the mob did to them. The leaked video is forcing the women to relive the horrors of that day which they are trying to forget.

Watched #ScoopOnNetflix .. @mehtahansal thank you so much for this brilliant and engaging series. Such quality performance by the entire cast. One can feel the helplessness, pain, anger of the people who endured it in real life.

‘The Elephant Whisperers’ themselves, Bommon and Bellie are the real stars of the show. It is only through their constant support, and willingness to share a piece of their life with the world, that this film won this highest honour.
