Imagine producing one of the world’s most iconic teas and earning less than the official minimum wage. In Darjeeling's tea gardens workers are paid Rs. 250 per day which is 30% less than the daily wage for unskilled labour. And even this small amount goes unpaid for months.

Our second story on last year's forceful deportation.

An ‘indigenous’ Assamese woman was pushed into Bangladesh. A year later, she is still stuck there.

A family in Dhaka gave her shelter and care.

We noticed an unusual spike in rescue of children at railway stations. The biggest group to be rescued were 163 children in Katni. In all cases, child trafficking was suspected.
But was it really trafficking?
We began to dig in..

🚨 Delhi’s toxic air isn’t just choking people. It’s cutting pregnancies short.

Nearly 1 in 8 babies in Delhi are now born premature.

In just 5 years, the preterm birth rate has shot up by 21%.

Doctors are increasingly linking it to toxic air pollution. Behind the smog are babies in NICUs, mothers struggling through pregnancy, and a public health crisis hiding in plain sight.

Are Indian factory staff training AI models to take over their jobs? A viral video raised concern in April.

@raghavKakkar30 & @sighyush traced these workers to hear their stories.

"If the robot works, our jobs are at risk."

From bulldozers to Vande Mataram, Bengal’s new BJP government has got off on the wrong foot with Muslims.

However, in one seat in Kolkata, the BJP could only win because the Muslims voted for it.

How? @AnantGuptaAG decodes in this week's Chronology Samajhiye.

The Coastal Regulation Zone notification that governs India’s eco-sensitive coast came out of fishworkers agitation. But the mapping processes under the notification systemically excludes coastal communities. My latest story for @MongabayIndia https://t.co/tFSVjtowQv

The harassment never ends - and the trial hasn’t even started - 8 years and the authorities haven’t been able to put together any case worthy of taking before a judge.

BIG: Persons excluded in SIR will not get welfare benefits, says BJP government in Bengal

SIR continues to be weaponised against Indians.

[Anant Gupta @AnantGuptaAG]

Some 129 seats changed hands from the Trinamool to the BJP in Bengal. Not one seat went from the BJP to any other party.

In 86 of these seats, the BJP's win margin was less than the deletions in the SIR. It had never won them before.

Before delimitation, Assam had two Muslim MPs and 31 Muslim MLAs.

After delimitation, it has now one Muslim MP and 22 Muslim MLAs.

As per 2011 census, Muslims constitute 34% of total population.

Lot of election discourse, some important & others associated with speculations & noise. Pl take time to read this blatant violation of Shompen community rights.

"AAJVS has no authority to surrender the autonomy of the Shompen & their special relationship with the environment."

Modi government's push for early delimitation in the name of implementing women's reservation stands defeated

But the threat of gerrymandering is real

It's already happened in Assam

A few days ago, @raghavKakkar30
and I visited a Noida colony where factory workers live. Some of them earn a little bit more than when they began working 20-25 years ago, leaving them incapable to deal with the rising cost of living.

If you need to educate yourself about the various trans communities across India, and also understand why the new trans amendment is restrictive and sinister, read @knowleena's
carefully researched article for @scroll_in now.
