From Anand Patwardhan’s ‘Ram ke Naam’. Absolutely worth nine minutes of your time

@redguju Thank you!

@durbakatha @buchu @nagharnaghat @drkapilsub Thanks @durbakatha!

Is there a good study of how pre-natal sex tests came to be banned in India?

@nagharnaghat @drkapilsub @durbakatha Nivedita Menon’s chapter for sure. Also, for context, Maya Unnithan’s Fertility, Health and Reproductive Politics has a chapter on sex selective abortion and rights discourse

@drkapilsub @ProfMytheli @durbakatha any suggestions?

@englishwali Congratulations!!

@aashishg_ Thanks for sharing this! Periyar’s viewpoint pushes against so many dominant norms around birth control— a rare, but important voice in these debates.
