    Opportunity for Livelihood to Financial Abyss: Reality check on MFIs
    31 Oct 2021

    “I had to take loans from three different organizations, namely Spandan, SKS and HDFC. I received Rs. 16000/-, Rs. 10000/- and Rs. 15000/- respectively from those three organizations. I was unable to repay the borrowed sum from Spandan so was compelled to borrow from SKS to repay it. But then I failed to pay 2 instalments of SKS.

    What Four Years of Modi Rule Mean for Women -The Worst of Times: 2014-2018
    12 Jul 2018

    In Hindu mythology, there is a monster called Bhasmasura. Whatever he touches is immediately reduced to cinder. But who could have thought that we would find such a Bhasmasura in the prime ministerial position today in India? During the four years while this prime minister has been in office, not only has he broken all the promises that he had made through his massive pre-electoral media campaign, but he has destroyed whatever he has touched.

Gauri was a voice of honesty and courage, she challenged the status quo in multiple ways as a single woman, as the editor of a weekly, as an anti-establishment voice, as the proud promoter and practitioner of Kannadiga language and cultures, as a  vociferous opponent of Hindutva ideologies.

    From outrage to empowerment
    26 Dec 2012

    One thought, one hoped, it would not happen in this case but most unfortunately, it did. In all the outrage, the outpouring of horror, grief and anger, that devastating but familiar comment was made. A policeman standing near one of the many groups of those protesting against the brutal assault on a young woman in a bus in Delhi was heard saying: “She must have been doing something with her boyfriend that got those young men excited.”
