https://t.co/e1EhpKVKKO. Today (15-12-2025), my work reached 100 citations (Citation Century)! I’m thrilled and motivated by this recognition, and I sincerely thank everyone who has cited my work.
After 2+ years of work, my piece on the intersection of caste and mental health is out in Contemporary South Asia (Taylor & Francis). 🚨
It shows how campus caste bias fuels emotional trauma and self-harm among Dalit students. 💔📚 #CasteMatters#MentalHealthJustice
