In all the mismanagement and sudden termination of contracts at TISS, the Advanced Centre for Women’s Studies stands to lose the most. Almost the entire centre, including its chairperson, has lost their jobs. #TISS #WomensStudies m.thewire.in/article/labour…

In Congress-ruled Himachal, a Muslim man’s shop was vandalised by a Hindu mob while the police watched. In Congress-ruled Telangana, an FIR was filed against @revathitweets for tweeting about power cuts. Rahul Gandhi ka birthday manane se fursat mile toh thoda yahan bhi dhyan do.

I appeared for the UGC NET on June 18, which has now been cancelled. It is ableist and does NOT care about disabled candidates. Here's what happened. 🧵 #DisabilityTwitter

Liked "Do Aur Do Pyaar" very much. Can never get enough of Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi. Review: filmcompanion.in/reviews/bollyw…

Folks, we need to talk about the forest fires in Uttarakhand

Over the past 16 years, we've amplified young voices, ran campaigns on issues like menstrual health, climate change, affirmative action, access to education and many more issues which have been a hurdle for young Indians to realise their true potential and conducted large scale surveys to understand what the youth really wants! Our platform has been a space for powerful narratives and a strong sense of community driven by changemakers like you. (1/2)

Over the past 16 years, Youth Ki Awaaz has made a mark. We've brought youth perspectives directly to the Finance Minister, leading to a historic reduction in the tax on sanitary pads. We've pioneered research on youth climate concerns, guiding action in India and beyond. Our #JetSetVote campaign empowered thousands of first-time voters, boosting civic participation. We've sparked a national movement for Menstrual Hygiene Management, breaking taboos and improving access. Through #ZeroSeHero, we've trained climate leaders, collected heartfelt climate stories, and created policy roadmaps for a sustainable future. And we're not stopping – we're partnering with NIUA to put youth at the heart of creating climate-resilient cities. (1/2)

Now, we're transforming! To go even deeper in amplifying voices, YKA is evolving into India's first citizen-generated civic data platform. We'll uncover what young people really think using polls, surveys, and rigorous research methods. It's about inclusion and making data accessible to those who need it most. Why the change? Because we believe EVERYONE has the right to shape the future. Our commitment remains unwavering: to empower every young Indian to shape the future they deserve. Join us as we continue to pave the way for inclusive dialogue, data-driven insights, and meaningful change. (2/2)

YKA started with a simple mission: break the culture of silence and make sure young people are heard. We pioneered an open platform, empowering a generation to speak up, write about their experiences, and influence the conversation. (1/2)

After 16 years, it’s time for something new in YKA history. Youth Ki Awaaz has a new face! But, that’s the least of it. We’re transforming ourselves from a pioneering writing platform to India’s first citizen-generated, civic data platform that uses polls and surveys to derive and shape youth insights. This evolution is about reimagining our dialogue with young India—how we listen, understand, and mobilise the collective voice for tangible impact. Keep an eye out. We have a bunch of exciting updates for you guys!

On January 6th, a friend texted me. He'd found an injured dog by a garbage dump in Bangalore. It couldn't walk, it couldn't even stand. Most of its fur was gone, it was covered in sores. He didn't have the time to help it but sent me this picture. 🧵👇🏿

Hello! I have received 42 applications for the opening in my law office so far. I plan to start screening applicants next Tuesday and would like to encourage more young legal professionals to apply. Those from alternate backgrounds (e.g., those who have prepared for UPSC, worked in a think tank, served as judicial clerks, or as legislative aides) and are looking to start a career in dispute resolution are particularly welcome. Please consider circulating this call! jobs.polymer.co/law-office-of-…
