The Reverberations Of Shuai’s Case; Deets Inside

MalvikaDecember 8, 20210

Peng Shuai came forward with her story and the repercussions that followed are truly baffling. For decades, women have been reluctant to talk about harassment and sexual abuse. Circumstances surely now (with the coming of me-too) are convalescent but still a very long way to go.  The three-time Olympian accused a former Vice Primer Zhang Gaoli of sexual on the social media platform 'WIEBO'. Forget about the standard consequences of speaking up — retaliation, threats, loss of opportunities, friends, income, Peng Shuai disappeared soon after this revelation (the post which now stands deleted). Powerful Stance Many concerned voices are being raised and perhaps the loudest among them is of the Women's Tennis Association(WTA). The UN has asked for proof of the tennis star.  WTA...

In UP, Policymaking Needs To Be More Evidence-Based

Abhay ChauhanDecember 8, 20210

The RSS and its affiliate bodies have time and again argued for a population control law even at the national level. Often BJP lawmakers have coaxed their fellow Hindu brethren to produce more children. Few BJP ruled states flirted with this idea- such as Assam, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
