When one wears the lens of feminism there is no going back , only a urge to break the centuries old structures that once seemed ordinary
Misogynistic means beliefs , behaviour , law , tradition etc which treats women as LESS important, LESS intelligent, LESS worthy and objects to control at large
The severity and overarching implications of climate change in the world’s most populated country need no introduction. According to World Bank reports, India undergoes extreme heat, rapidly changing waterfall patterns, overexploited groundwater resources, and security threats including but not limited to energy, food, water, and agriculture, along with regional migration conflicts.
The Korean wave, etymologically known as the hallyu, refers to the soft power of the Korean popular culture that originated in Southeast Asia, first in mainland China and eventually spreading across Asia in the late 1990s. The transnational cultural influence of the K-wave in the postmodern era is one of a kind due to the decisive yet dominant nature of ‘compressed modernity’. South Korea experienced a century's worth of economic growth-led cultural influence within the span of a few decades. The phenomenon of ‘Miracle on the Han River’ transformed a war-ravaged South Korea that was one of the 25 poorest countries in the world in the 1960s into an advanced economy built on technology and innovation, with the help of the International Development Association of the World Bank.
The most momentous event of the last week has been the Gaza ceasefire. It has brought respite for Palestinians from genocidal slaughter and famine, and brought 20 hostages back home to Israel. The peace deal is still fragile, and could unravel.
Across international conferences, UN assemblies, and foreign policy statements, the language
of inclusion has become familiar. Governments and global institutions now speak of
“diversity,” “empowerment,” and “intersectionality” with confidence. On the surface, it
appears that the world has finally started acknowledging the complexity of women’s lives.
But when we look closely, a gap emerges between what is promised and what is practiced.
The term “Feminist Foreign Policy” (FFP) is frequently discussed in various global capitals.
While countries such as Sweden, Canada, and Germany have adopted it, the discourse often
centers on issues like representation, aid, and trade. However, for FFP to be genuinely
transformative—particularly for an emerging global power like India—it needs to address a
fundamental issue: bodily autonomy.
