In the late 1920s, she was in Germany pursuing her doctoral degree in Anthropology at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute under the prominent academic Eugen Fischer. Fischer was driven by a mission to prove that racial inferiority was biologically determined, operating on a strict hypothesis of Aryan superiority.
​Risking her academic career as a scholar under such a man, she directly contradicted Fischer’s theories. She presented her own research findings that there was no biological basis for racial superiority, least of all tied to skull size. Unsurprisingly, Fischer gave her the lowest possible grade yet she stood resolutely by her scientific integrity.
​Her name was Irawati Karve, India’s first female anthropologist and a true trailblazer who rejected age old customs and gender inequality.
Born in 1905 in Burma, her name was inspired by the Irrawaddy River.
​Throughout her life, she consistently challenged dogmatism. Her celebrated book 𝘠𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢, a critical study of the Mahabharata, won the Sahitya Akademi Award, even as it drew the wrath of orthodox sections of society.
​In one of her papers, she offered a profound critique of religious intolerance -
​"Many Hindus dream that if the government were wiser, it could rid India both of Muslims and Christians so that one has an entirely Hindu India. It is foolish to think one can establish uniformity and keep it as such through ages. Without the Muslims and Christians, there were bitter wars between Buddhists and non-Buddhists, between Jains and Hindus in the South and between Shaivas and Vaishnavas. The rational humanitarian’s aim cannot be the establishment of one religion but to bring about conditions by which people of different cultures can live together in mutual understanding and respect."
​On August 11, 1970, Irawati Karve passed away. Her fierce courage, intellectual honesty, and invaluable contributions deserve to be remembered and celebrated.

38 of 40 buildings. Three thousand students. Twenty years.

How many universities in this country have approved maps? How many DM offices do?

The government promised CJP that no action will be taken against the protestors. Where Muslims excluded from the promise ?

This young man is an uncut diamond that deserves a future.

The Cockroach Janata Party should enlist diamonds like him as members if they really want to go far with their movement and change India’s destiny.

If not, some rich NGO or a corporate CSR department should rehabilitate him by providing an interest-free loan and helping him set up a small business.

His name is Mohammad Irfan. He lives in a broken 12 sq yd 1-room slum (with tarpaulin roof) with his parents and two sisters in Delhi’s Laxmi Nagar.

For his livelihood, along with his father, he sells ice slabs as a roadside vendor.

He cannot write, he never went to school, and all his education is acquired by asking questions to Google several hours a day.

From the Preamble to the Indian Constitution (Hindi version) to Urdu Shayar Ahmed Faraz and Kavi Gopal Das Neeraj’s poetry to legal rights of workers and minimum wage & hour laws in India, his knowledge is 10x more than the average brainwashed WhatsApp University uncles of India.

In the video, Irfan emphasizes on “garima” (dignity). The Preamble to the Constitution explicitly states: “assuring the dignity of the individual,” irrespective of their caste, religion, education, or economic status.

Irfan was discovered by The Lallantop’s brilliant journalist Rajat Pandey @RajatpandeyJF during recent student protests at Jantar Mantar. That’s real journalism India needs instead of the shameless mainstream media that is digging India’s grave.

Rajat can provide the phone number and address of Irfan to anyone interested in supporting him.

What Modi government FEARS MORE than Delhi PROTESTORS

[Abhijeet Dipke @abhijeet_dipke]

He is the same officer who climbed on the truck to hit Geetanjali Wangchuk before we all jumped in to save her. Later he grabbed her hair.

Sandeep Lamba is not mentally fit to serve in the police.

We have marched to PM Modi’s house to demand answers from him for the brutalities against young students yesterday.

The Government doesn’t want to take any accountability or does it want to have a debate on it in Parliament.

PM and HM must resign for destroying the future of India’s youth.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

छात्रों पर हमला हर भारतीय परिवार पर हमला है।

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी को लगता है कि वो बिना जवाब दिए, बिना किसी नतीजे का सामना किए बच निकलेंगे - नहीं कर पाएंगे, इस बार तो बिल्कुल नहीं।

मैं हर उस देशभक्त भारतीय से अपील करता हूं जो मानता है कि हमारे छात्रों को न्याय मिलना चाहिए - प्रधानमंत्री आवास के सामने हमारे धरने में शामिल हों।

भारत के छात्रों की आवाज़ को नज़रअंदाज़ नहीं किया जा सकता।

An attack on students is an attack on every Indian family.

PM Modi believes he can get away without answers, without consequences. He cannot. Not this time.

I ask every patriotic Indian who believes our students deserve justice - join us in dharna in front of the Prime Minister’s residence.

The voice of India’s students will not be ignored.

[Prashant Bhushan @pbhushan1]

This is indeed very serious. There is absolutely no reason for a truck laden with stones to be parked near Jantar Mantar. This cannot happen unless the police has allowed it. If there is stone throwing on the protesters, the police & govt will be directly responsible. The reaction to this will be so severe that this govt will not survive

RSS claims it doesn’t seek government funds, so it doesn’t need registration.

Our investigation reveals state-owned ONGC has poured over Rs 670 crore into 20 Sangh-linked organisations that run hospitals and schools since 2013.

Dharmendra Pradhan and Hardeep Singh Puri have been Ministers during the time.

Do read. Do share.

Modi should personally intervene to stop the physical demolition of a huge university in Rampur, UP. If he does not, and this demolition goes through, it will be perhaps the biggest blot on his legacy. And he will be in the same slot as another historic character from medieval ages.

Stop it. Now.
