A community caught between Manu and Adam Smith
There
is no consensus among Dalits about how to measure the community's
development. Neither academia, nor the state has come out with any tool to

Women
bear brunt of climate chan
In Kamlawati’s Compierganj village
in eastern UP’s Gorakhpur summer, winter and monsoon have turned
erratic. When did spring start? When was monsoon over? She knew Holi
indicated winter’s end when she’d fry paddy in the Holika fire. But

either as sowing itself was delayed because of late winter. The
52-year-old is one among millions of women farmers bearing the brunt of
climate change in parched fields, flooded villages and mountain climes.
From walking further to collect water and firewood to ploughing fields,
from premature deliveries to malnutrition, women are taking the first
direct hit of altered climate.
