When the state begins to regulate identity, it rarely stops at one group. Through her work at the Mumbai-based nonprofit @antarangfoundation, Priya Agrawal has been helping young people in India move from school into real jobs, generating important research about this transition. However, though data helps understand patterns such as employment rates and gaps in opportunity, “it doesn’t always capture what that journey actually feels like,” she says. It’s bad enough that a mainstream Bollywood film glorifying mindless violence and communal hatred is profiting worldwide. But when social-impact nonprofits opt to screen it, they betray their mission and people, writes Shailaja Rao. The protagonist of @shunalikhullarshroff1’s third and latest novel 'The Wrong Way Home' (@BloomsburyIndia, ₹399) is hardly your romance-novel prototype. Nayantara, a 40-year-old recently divorced PR professional in Mumbai, stalks her ex-husband’s new young bride online while trying to rebuild her own life, popping melatonin pills each night, and taking misguided risks to grow her business. Lakshmipriya Devi's BAFTA-winning debut film 'Boong' is a gentle exploration of the harsh realities in today's Manipur, writes author and podcaster @Mohua_Chinappa. Actor, activist and academic Dr Sajitha Madathil’s new book 'For the Love of Art: The Lost History of Women in Kerala Theatre' (@PenguinIndia, ₹399) is a riveting chronicle of women actors, dramatists and theatre artists in Kerala, and an invaluable addition to Indian film history and cultural studies. Daughters are often caregivers – for parents, children, younger siblings – at a cost to their own dreams and wellbeing. The character of Nita in the 1960 Bengali cult film ‘Meghe Dhaka Tara’ is a poignant example of the daughterhood penalty, writes Reeti Roy. “People want love stories during times when so many horrible things are happening in the world” The global popularity of the walking collective 'Women Walk at Midnight' reveals how walking in public at night can be an act of reclamation and resistance for women in cities around the world, writes Anushka Roy.
