For @ORCA_India's Issue Brief, I look at the 1989 #Tiananmen Square protests, a pivotal moment of #resistance against authoritarianism. More than a student movement, it united workers, intellectuals, and citizens demanding fairness and reform.

Why is @MaridhasAnswers incapable of sticking to questions on just a person's work, ethic, or competence and having a problem with how she dresses or whether she wears a nose ring? Why does a female minister have to deal with this sexism and verbal harassment?

Calling a Minister who has rightfully earned her seat at the table - "Tharkuri" is probably a special talent of men here.

Whether you like her or not, she is at the table, you are not.

It is best if these chest-thumping, self confessed progressive men stuck to pointing out flaws on a politician's actual work, and not focus if a woman is wearing lipstick or a nose ring.

Nothing about her dressing could have possibly ruined the "oru kaalathla manufacturing gateway aaga irundha Tamilnadu" in 3 whole weeks.

It is time women in politics in India got to dress in other comfortable attire and not just in a Sari just because that is what is palatable to the men and some of the gatekeeping women, here.

I just found out my article in the journal Current Sociology has been shortlisted for the best paper of the year award.

It’s about how rules and regulations designed to make the Indian Railways more effective actually make it harder to get things done.

Back in beautiful #Stockholm this week to participate in a number of engagements starting tomorrow. 🇮🇳🇪🇺 & specifically 🇮🇳🇸🇪 ties are entering increasingly promising phases; great time to be in this part of the world to theorize how/what we can add to the bilateral! @ORCA_India

The Chennai Book Park, opened by @mkstalin in June this year to "improve" reading habit among public is today only 25% full. The facility, which can accommodate 20k books, has just over 5k. There is no reading hall, which was a popular demand on day 1, and books are only for sale

The hand of a sanitary worker—his skin severely damaged by constant exposure to bleaching powder, which is sprinkled along the corners of roads. Many workers suffer from chronic illnesses caused by the absence of proper protective equipment such as gloves and masks.

DMK’s neglect of sanitation workers’ protests exposes its betrayal of social-justice principles, Sujatha Sivagnanam (@sujajourno) reports: https://t.co/7sWKOI5XdY

[Siddarth K.M. (சித்தார்த் கோ.மு.) @Sidzepp]

Calling out brahminical thoughts of BJP leaders is no doubt, great; but the question of what DMK is doing to tackle the issue of "honour killings" in TN also looms large.

Why is the Dravidian Movement refusing to devise a strategy with a sense of urgency to address the issue?
