Why has the lower Cauvery delta declined as a hub of rice cultivation? What has been the economic impact of this drop? Why does inequality persist in the agrarian sector despite the fact that “old forms of tyrannical landlordism” and economic oppression of Dalits do not exist today? How have changes in the agriculture sector affected employment and income, education, sanitation and housing? Why is it important to push for fundamental structural change to ensure that the gains achieved in both economic performance and human development in rural Tamil Nadu are not in vain? In 2018, the Foundation for Agrarian Studies launched a project to study agrarian relations in the lower Cauvery delta with a special focus on two villages.

🔵 Women’s extreme seclusion during menstruation and children’s health in Nepal - PMC

Abstract
There is limited empirical evidence from low-income countries on the effects of women’s seclusion during menstruation on children’s health. The objective of the current study was to examine the association between women’s extreme seclusion during menstruation and their children’s nutritional status and health in Nepal. Using nationally representative data from the 2019 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, we examined the relationship between mother’s exposure to extreme forms of seclusion during menstruation and anthropometric measures of nutritional status and health outcomes among children ages 5–59 months (n = 6,301). We analyzed the data in a regression framework, controlling for potential confounders, including province fixed effects. We assessed extreme seclusion during menstruation based on women’s exposure to chhaupadi, a practice in which women are forced to stay away from home—in separate huts or animal sheds—during menstruation and childbirth. Mothers’ exposure to extreme seclusion during menstruation was associated with 0.18 standard deviation lower height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) (p = 0.046) and 0.20 standard deviation lower weight-for-age z-scores (WAZ) (p = 0.007) among children. Analysis by the place of seclusion showed that the negative association was stronger when women stayed in animal sheds—0.28 SD for HAZ (p = 0.007) and 0.32 SD for WAZ (p<0.001)—than when they stayed in separate huts. Extreme seclusion was associated with higher incidence of acute respiratory symptoms but not with incidence of diarrhea, irrespective of the place of seclusion. Women’s extreme seclusion during menstruation in Nepal has profound implications on the physical health of their children. Additional research is needed to ascertain potential mechanisms.

Introduction
Women all over the world undergo some forms of menstruation-related discrimination [1–3]. One such form of menstruation discrimination, called chhaupadi, is practiced in the western part of Nepal. Chhaupadi is a practice in which women are secluded and forced to stay separately in makeshift huts or animal sheds during menstruation and, in some cases, during child-birth [4].
In addition to having to eat and sleep separately, women are not allowed to touch other individuals, eat certain types of food items, visit temples, or worship. The huts where women stay during their menstruation are often small, dark, and without ventilation [5]. Women are exposed directly to animal feces and associated pathogens when they are forced to stay in animal sheds.

Chhaupadi is a practice in which women are secluded and forced to stay separately in makeshift huts or animal sheds during menstruation and, in some cases, during child-birth [4].
The practice is rooted in patriarchy and Hindu mythology that considers women impure, thus untouchable, during menstruation and childbirth.
In addition to having to eat and sleep separately, women are not allowed to touch other individuals, eat certain types of food items, visit temples, or worship. The huts where women stay during their menstruation are often small, dark, and without ventilation [5].

🔵 The Ambedkar touch in rethinking social justice policies - The Hindu
https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/the-ambedkar-touch-in-rethinking-social-justice-policies/article67608373.ece
Modern democracy is synonymous with both the values of social harmony and reforms that ensure dignity and self-respect to its participants, especially the historically deprived and socially marginalised people. Further, democratic institutions are mandated to engage with the worst-off social groups and ensure their substantive participation as a significant governing class in political affairs. The socially oppressed groups in India, especially Dalits, adored and celebrated such modern virtues because of their liberative potential and egalitarian goals. Babasaheb Ambedkar emerged as a torchbearer of liberal enlightened ideas and expected that post-colonial India would be distinct from the exploitative Brahmanical past and invite Dalits and other marginalised communities to be equal shareholders in the nation’s economic and political development. Ironically, the modernist objectives have been partially achieved only today. With the ascent of neo-liberal economic development, the conventional support that Dalits and Adivasis have received from state institutions, has derailed.

🔵 Concealed Scars Beyond The Frontlines: Women's Health In Conflict Zones
https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/concealed-scars-beyond-the-frontlines-women-s-health-in-conflict-zones?s=35
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most constant, prevalent, and ruinous breaches of basic human rights. For example, in Vietnam, the financial repercussions of such violence were believed to account for 1.4 percent of its GDP. Similarly, in Morocco, it is reckoned that about US$308 million is forfeited each year owing to physical and sexual violence. Women and girls in conflict areas grapple with an array of tribulations that imperil their physical and psychological health. The unremitting menace of hostility shatters their everyday existence, curtailing access to vital necessities like medical care. This precarious landscape hems their prospects for economic advancement, fuelling a relentless spiral into impoverishment. Moreover, women find themselves disproportionately afflicted by acts of violence, which encompass sexual abuse, familial aggression, and being sold into coercion against their will. For instance, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, and Sudan, it was reported that the army and armed groups continued to abduct women for sexual exploitation, while Yemen, Somalia, and Syria reported cases of sexual slavery and forced marriages to fighters.

🔵 The Alienation and Commodification of Nature: Fighting the Fallacious Fetishism of Contemporary Frameworks through a Revolutionary Transition | Economic and Political Weekly
https://www.epw.in/engage/article/alienation-and-commodification-nature-fighting
Modifying and Commodifying Nature
Commodity Fetishism, in Marxism implies that labour power itself becomes a commodity influenced by the evolution of the capitalist economy, which metamorphoses the personal, social and emotional nature of labour relations into an independent, external and objective thing (Martineau and Lafontaine 2019: 489). They are endowed with a life of their own (Jha 2009: 222), and “this fetishism attaches itself to the products of labor as soon as they are produced as commodities” (Marx 1990: 165).
In a capitalist society, according to Marx, even if a thing has a use value, it will not be produced unless it has exchange value (Jha 2009: 221-22), which is determined by the amount of human labour embodied in it. But as the world of commodities becomes dominant, we begin to see the commodity as having value in itself, and we devalue the contribution of those who made the commodity (Marx 2009).
The fetishism of commodities and value that typifies capitalism, for Marx, is evident in “its abstraction from human needs” (Napoletano et al 2018: 94). David Harvey (2017) asserts that the potential of capital to adjust its accumulation strategies and profit from “sustainability fixes” often aggravates, rather than reconciling, the capital’s crises of human development, which are not reducible to “the madness of economic reason.”
Fetishism of commodified nature not only demeans its essence but also makes it difficult for ethical consumers to be effective both in their evaluation of objects available and in influencing the world around them (Carrier 2010: 672). Nature is not presented as a concrete and constantly singular entity, but as a commodified good or merchandise, rendered the same everywhere (MacKenzie 2009: 440-55). Attributing such a form to nature tends to shape people's consciences. It is this aspect that is substantiated by the concept of reification (Martineau and Lafontaine 2019: 489–90).
Reification is a process in which certain entities or social relations take on the character of a thing by being illusorily considered and treated as mere quantifiable objects, concealing the human origin of these entities or human relations (Lukács 1971: 83). The concept of reification can help elucidate how the process of commodifying nature and transforming it into a good, tradable or exchangeable, in the market, affects the inter-subjective meaning of it to individuals, who are ushered to construe nature from a solely utilitarian angle, thereby losing their affective and emotional relationship with nature (Martineau and Lafontaine 2019: 492).

THE CHALLENGES FACED BY SAME SEX PARENTS
The Central Adoption Resource Authority’s requirements are part of the JJ Act (Juvenile Justice Act), 2015, which gives everyone, regardless of religion, the capacity to adopt. No child shall be placed in adoption to a couple unless they have at least two years of a solid marital unity, according to a requirement in the law. Same-sex couples are unable to demonstrate two years of marital stability in India because marriages between the same sexes are not yet recognised in that country. As a result, they are ineligible. Furthermore, the SOCIAL STIGMA associated with these relationships deters the government from approving adoption for such families.[9]

🔵 Review of Surinder S. Jodhka’s The Indian Village: Invisible India - The Hindu
Link
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar regarded the village as marked by the presence of intractable and oppressive social structures. “What is the village but a sink of localism, a den of ignorance, narrow-mindedness and communalism?” he asked.
In his new book, The Indian Village, sociologist Surinder Jodhka points out that the Indian village is not only a lived reality, but also an idea. It was the colonial imagination that first constructed India as a land of tiny, untouched, impermeable village republics frozen in time — a narrative that was deliberately constructed to justify the project of imperialism. A section of Indian nationalists found it useful to build on this idea of India as an ocean of villages but sharing a cultural unity. After independence, a linear narrative of social change, development, and economic growth began to be created which seemed to lead inevitably towards urbanisation. In the 1990s, with economic liberalisation, the village began to slip off the radar of public discourse.

Bangladeshi preschool teacher Shaheen was only twenty-six, but she was a dynamo, brimming with energy. Married at the age of fifteen, despite all odds, she’d completed her studies. Her preschool students were able to read better than even second-grade students we had met in nearby schools. Shaheen employed a range of innovative teaching aids, including picture cards and abacuses. She showed her students multiple picture cards and combined different words phonetically making it easier for them to grasp. Most importantly, her students understood the meaning of every word they read, not only in Bengali but in English too. She was using a learning method called the Kajoli Early Childhood Education Model.

She was part of the left wing extremist group People's War- Group disillusioned with State
She was rehabilitated under the Rehabilitation policy first propounded by the Visionary National Development Council under UPA-1
Which was adopted first by the erstwhile United Andhra Pradesh.
Seethakka was given first chance as a sarpanch, then MPTC and then as a ZPTC member , then MLA
Today she is well known for her Impeccable work ethic, honest public demeanor and was a popular choice for Ministry. So much so that she received the highest Cheer from the public.
