Press Release 👇 Telangana Gig and Platform Workers’ Union Evaluation and Impact Report This report highlights the way forward for @TGPWU to build our strategy & activities based on the worker-led evaluation. Our key commitments going forward include:
New!📢 @AmbikaTandon & @aayushrathi write in an anthology published with @datasociety, on how social inequality shapes platform work in the global south. cis-india.org/raw/the-platfo…
The next presentation is by @nishkala_sekhar from @cis_india. She presents findings about the intermediaries in ride-hailing gig work; labour infrastructures beyond the "app"
@amaringanti and I will be answering this AMA in consultation with @ShaikTgfwda on working lives of gig and platform workers in Hyderabad reddit.com/r/hyderabad/co…
Migrant workers who fled droughts and floods in their villages, bear an unequal burden of an intense water crisis in India’s Silicon Valley @amoolyarajappa reports from Bengaluru's migrant homes. Read about their challenges here themigrationstory.com
Read my recent report on MNREGS (मनरेगा) in Maharashtra. No work, long due wages, migration, caste, reduced budgets… it has everything one could imagine! behanbox.com/2024/03/31/rur…

We are excited to announce the release of our report “Understanding Feminist Infrastructures”. Puthiya Purayil Sneha, and @saumyaanaidu explore the growth of #FeministInfrastructures, and how they have impacted feminism, gender, and sexuality in India cis-india.org/raw/understand…
When we talk about health workers in India, we never quite consider #ASHA women. "Bandhua mazdoori" & "shoshan" is how AHSAs term their work. No rest or fixed salary. For @TheQuint to understand why the system is overburdening them and what they want. thequint.com/gender/asha-wo…
Excited to share my first published conference paper from my upcoming research on Independent Anticaste publishing on the Internet. spir.aoir.org/ojs/index.php/…… This piece was presented at #4S and #AOIR, and will be presenting some more on it at @uva_gdc later this year.
Please employ only pure veg drivers to ride pure veg fleet bikes to serve pure veg food to pure veg folks. This is caste coded into food; a slap in the face of everyone who thinks the free market would smash caste. Sorry capitalism only gets into bed with oppressive structures

Joint Statement on the Police Report on Rohith Vemula’s Institutional Murder At this juncture, we appeal to the Congress government of the state of Telangana to ensure that justice prevails. (1/2) @TelanganaCMO @kharge @RahulGandhi @revanth_anumula @Bhatti_Mallu @mondalsudipto
Jai Bhim, my name is Rohith Vemula, I came from Guntur and I’m a dalit.
It’s a somber day today. A day tinged with disappointment and a sense of living in a dystopian reality. (1/n)
The Telangana police have closed the Rohith Vemula SC/ST atrocity case against BJP leaders Smriti Irani, Bandaru Dattatreya, Ramachandra Rao and former VC of Hyderabad University P Apparao citing lack of evidence thenewsminute.com/news/telangana…
Reminder: Brahminism is policing. Policing is Brahminism. The University lies at the heart of this violent project "..Rohith did not belong to the SC category and speculated that he died by suicide fearing that his "real caste identity" wld b discovered" thenewsminute.com/news/newstelan…

The gig economy, characterized by short-term contracts or freelance work, has witnessed rapid growth in recent years. However, this expansion has underscored the necessity for regulatory frameworks to safeguard the well-being of #GigWorkers. (Part 1/4)* #MayDay *see comments
CW Suicide: Daily Wage Workers accounted for 26.4% of the suicides in India in 2022, according to the NCRB. Additionally, 64.3% of those who died by suicide in 2022 belonged to low-income backgrounds (less than 1L per annum). (1)
On May Day, @ShaliniWIEGO & I write for @the_hindu @TheHinduComment - "A decade has passed since the Street Vendors Act came into effect on May 1, 2014, marking a significant milestone. Celebrated as a progressive legislation, the Act now faces numerous challenges." We argue👇🏿🧵
If this country is built then it is completely stood and stand on the sweat and the blood of labour class! On this labour day- let us re-visit the Ambedkar’s argument of why the Caste(s) is not just a mere division of labour but division of labourer’s! Artwork: @kedare_prajakta
Qualitative research friends, what is your favorite ethnography or interview-based study? Looking for book and article recs for an undergrad qualitative research methods class this fall. All suggestions welcome! 🤓
As a Dalit in the Indian labour movement, I must flag this: While Karl Marx is revered by the Left, it's disturbing how they have consistently overlooked Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's contributions while conveniently enjoying the fruits of his labour Left or Right - Caste reigns supreme!
We are super thrilled to kickstart our talk series on the city with @bengawalk who would be talking "Overengineered and Underdesigned: Space for Public in Indian Cities" this Friday at 5PM at NLSIU! (1/n)
Who are the grassroots organisations and individuals working on digital and #financialinclusion in India? Especially interested in voices from rural areas, the mountains, and places off the beaten track. This is for a research project Grateful for any leads! 🙏
Marxist accounts of women’s oppression often overlook Engels. "... a distinctive feature of Engels’s analysis was that gender oppression is marked by class. For low-paid women workers, the double burden of paid and unpaid work bears down heavily." monthlyreview.org/2024/03/01/eng…
