  • India: No Country For Women
    Sep 5 2024

    In our very first episode of 'The Crux', we dive into the pressing concern of women's safety and freedom in India.

    Join us as we speak to Talish Ray, a lawyer and a passionate advocate for women's rights. We also have with us Rahul Ram, a singer who questions cultural norms through his music and actively participates in grassroots movements across India.

    Hear their insights on how women unintentionally take part in a patriarchal society, the restrictions women face since they are children and the cultural and social norms that are pushed upon them.

    Should rape be given the death penalty? What else can the law do to ensure swift justice?

    Is India a country where women are free?
