UGC's Committee to Probe Caste Discrimination on Campuses Offers No Solutions

Manual scavenging: The unending pain of India's sewer workers
Manual scavenging is banned in India but the practice is still commonplace, with people forced into it because of rigid caste rules and the lack of other livelihood options.

Women’s Cricket Is Rife With Stories of Sexual Harassment. What Is the BCCI Doing?
With the kind of wealth available in Indian cricket and the lack of safeguards, there is no estimating what a more accurate number of cricketers facing harassment by their superiors—coaches, selectors, officials—may be.

A Dalit Minor Was Gang Raped Twice, UP Police Ignored The First Time
A Dalit minor from Uttar Pradesh was allegedly gang-raped by the same men twice in 44 days, and a year later, the rapists set fire to her house in Laad Kheda village, causing burn injuries to her infant son born out of the rape. An examination of the case showed the UP police ignored vital evidence and registered an FIR for the first rape more than a year later, only after the minor went to the POCSO court in Unnao.

Hathras rape-murder case: A doomed investigation to begin with
