To the Point | Official rules of the MCC and ICC mandate the use of a smaller ball, a smaller boundary and lesser duration of playtime for women vis a vis men’s cricket.

The article responds to the festivity surrounding the idea that the time has come for women’s cricket and women in cricket in India following The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)’s decision for equal pay for men and women cricketers.

"I got six-pack abs just like that"

Workers in Meerut’s gym equipment industry lift more weights daily than gym goers do in a week. This heavy lifting isn't a fitness aim, but an important livelihood available to young men from Muslim families here. ⬇️

The story revolves around workers who make your gym equipments. It's their hard labour. One of those stories on @PARInetwork which makes it what it is. Congratulation, Shruti Sharma. The story is as heavy as those metals shown in the photos.

Ranjit Mal is the only person in Deulpur census town of Howrah district who can craft a polo ball from bamboo rhizome – a skill that has lost relevance as machine-made balls have taken over.

ok frenz, the electoral bonds hearing is coming up in Supreme Court tomorrow and it is going to be one of THE most crucial judgments that the SC has ever delivered.

If you are someone who doesn't know why, this is an oversimplified thread for you. 👀

Badminton shuttles are made by artisans in Howrah district since the 1920s.

Lack of government support, stiff international competition, and synthetic shuttles have made the future of this livelihood uncertain

If you’ve played cricket w a leather ball in India, chances are the leather was made by tannery workers in Shobhapur, Meerut.

Tanning transforms raw hides into finished leather. An imp livelihood, it's been hit by communal tensions & lack of state support https://t.co/8QAhKaw0ID
