Calling a woman RPF constable ‘warrior’ for working with an infant strapped to her body isn’t how you show recognition. Returning moms need the childcare infrastructure at work. Glorifying them as superheroes doesn’t ease their burden. Their resilience is the result of an unfair, unequal system at home and work.

Centre must tread cautiously on Manipur or it will squander the benefits of recent measures

  2. So whose “remit” is it? Mr. Shekhar Gupta’s?
    The media can preach and pontificate but if the SC chooses to do so, it itches the media houses.
    Hypocrites of the first order!
