Before the video emerged, I spent a week in Manipur tracking down cases of violence against women. 4 women bravely recounted every detail of their brutal assault to me. Thank you @scroll_in for commissioning this crucial story. It is not an easy read scroll.in/article/1053038/ev…

I went back to speak to the Muslim students affected by the hijab ban. With every interview, I was fuming more and more. It was the duty of the state to provide an education NOT snatch it away bit.ly/3GVfcu5
