Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

You'd think Hindu supremacists would be a fan of Malala Yousafzi, since she's a survivor of Islamic fundamentalism (though the Taliban are now allies of the BJP/Modi regime, of course), but nah, the mere mention of 'books' or 'education' apparently sends them into a violent rage.

Upper caste people always harangue about implementing a creamy layer in the reservation quota. But the moment you ask them to remove NFS (Not Found Suitable) and then implement a creamy layer, they'll start protesting about it. It's here that their dishonesty becomes apparent.

Recently, upper caste and pro-govt people held a Reservation Hatao Aandolan at Jantar Mantar. And it goes without saying, the protest failed. But the amount of casteist abuses that came out of the place shows a pure evil mentality. People were hurling casteist abuses just for fun.

🧵 Over two-thirds of children under the age of five in India were anaemic as of 2021, according to the National Family Health Survey’s (NFHS) 5th round. #Women #Children #Anaemia #Health #India #DataForIndia
Title: Anaemia levels among children in India are notably higher than in comparable countries

Sub-title: Prevalence of anaemia among children aged 6–59 months in India and Rwanda

Explanation: India’s rate declined from about 69% in 2000 to 53% in 2019, but remained higher than Rwanda’s throughout the period. Rwanda’s rate fell more sharply, from about 61% in 2000 to 38% in 2019. Both countries used the capillary method for blood collection.

It was a well-calibrated statement by the RSS in the view of the Gen Z protest. The fascist paramilitary organisation effectively controls the whole education system of India, appointment of vice-chancellors and formation of policies. RSS's statement was to insulate themselves from public ire.
MK Venu writes, "RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat cleverly positions himself as an outsider when he says that the students have a genuine grievance about the education system and that it should be addressed urgently. It is well known that key decisions in education & culture are outsourced to RSS. RSS is in power today and can't escape direct accountability."

The left actually showed up to boost and kind of take over the organizational aspects while Dipke and crew continue to receive most of the publicity frontline.thehindu.com/columns/cock...
the sociologically significant aspect when the CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke returned to India on June 6 and started a protest in Jantar Mantar. That Dipke is a Dalit cannot be ignored although it is not the central story of this agitation. That first day of protest was shaky and tentative, and here another element comes in, less mentioned in media accounts. The AISA (All India Students’ Association) affiliated with the CPI (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation is influential on university campuses. The AISA cadre provided the agitational format, quick gatherings in a circle, a certain verve to the tentative protest, the rhythmic slogans and music. Eventually, six AISA students went on a hunger strike, with three, Neha Bora, Manish Kumar, and Aameen Amitoj, continuing it for 23 days until July 20.
