Before the video emerged, I spent a week in Manipur tracking down cases of violence against women.

4 women bravely recounted every detail of their brutal assault to me.

Thank you @scroll_in for commissioning this crucial story. It is not an easy read

I went back to speak to the Muslim students affected by the hijab ban. With every interview, I was fuming more and more. It was the duty of the state to provide an education NOT snatch it away

First, this story on why Haryana has had so much more success in reducing the practice compared to its neighbour.
