Umadevi Raje Jadhav has several achievements to her credit as economist and journalist, all of which become even more remarkable considering she is the descendant of an erstwhile royal family of Gujarat, and has a large royal estate to manage when she’s not on assignment. The former professor of economics grew up in palaces, but always had a practical head on her shoulders and a desire to prove her own worth. No wonder, today, even as she spends her time straddling three countries, she continues to consider herself an “IAS officer’s daughter”, valuing education and cultural responsibility over entitlement.

Samra Zafar was 16 when her parents arranged her marriage to a man 11 years older than her. Subsequently, she moved to Canada with him on the premise that she could fulfill her aspiration to attend University. It did not happen. Instead followed years of emotional and physical abuse by her increasingly possessive husband. She gave birth to two daughters and tried to fulfill all the expectations laid on her as a wife, as a daughter-in-law, but somewhere always fell short. Every single day, she was humiliated, assaulted, isolated, disrespected, and repeatedly told that she was not good enough. Yet, she refused to give up on life, and continued to follow her dreams of an education, even if it meant escaping her marriage and building her own new life. Today, she is the voice of change for millions of others.

In 2016, New York-based writer-journalist Yashica Dutt ‘came out’ on Facebook as a Dalit in response to Hyderabad PhD scholar Rohith Vemula’s suicide, which many have labelled an “institutional murder” after he protested against the casteist policies of Hyderabad University. In 2019, she wrote her memoir Coming Out as Dalit (Aleph Book Company) about growing up with the inhumane label of being low caste looming over her family. She talks to us about how the book came about, her thoughts on coming to terms with her Dalit identity, and the existence of caste discrimination in modern society.

Without equal representation in government, are women citizens assured of gender-fair laws, equal rights, and social justice?

Painter and printmaker @RohiniDevasher’s work explores an interesting intersection of art and science. Ten years ago, the painter and printmaker collaborated on a project with amateur astronomers in Delhi. What began as joint investigations, stories and conversations culminated into a chronicle of this almost obsessive group of people whose lives have been transformed by the night sky. Another experience that pulled her closer to the enormity of nature and earth was spending 26 days on an oil tanker as part of a unique artist’s residency program called the Owners Cabin. Looking at the fragile and polarised world that we co-exist in at the moment, what does Rohini have to say about being an artist today? “Navigating an increasingly fractured world, and trying to make sense of it while inhabiting it with all the pressures that it entails, is never easy. What helps is your belief in your work and yourself, and the patience with which you carry it. But at this moment I am a citizen first and everything else second,” she avers.
