It was the greatest ever voter turnout in Bihar as the state drew curtains on the mega 5 phased Legislative Assembly Polls. For three months now, hectic seat haggling, number crunching, breaking and making alliances was the order of the day and now all that has come to an end as the final phases of polling wrapped up yesterday. But hang on, ‘the drama ain’t over yet in this bitterly […]
The sudden spate of increasing instances of religious intolerance set me thinking. At a time and age where religion has been reduced to mere festivals and a small form of worship once a day or perhaps once a week, why should it matter so much that lives are being lost, political battles are being waged and even cultural legacy is being interfered with in the name of religion? But is […]
As the elections in Bihar near their penultimate phase and all eyes are glued to the action next Sunday, it is going to be an action packed Sunday. On the same day Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address a rally at the Sheri-E-Kashmir stadium in Srinagar. Given the recent bouts of animosity and failed attempts to revive peace talks with Pakistan, this address at the venue that was […]
Nearly a year and a half after it was unanimously voted to power, many a times Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s action plan has been doubted upon.

Well here is some news that could cheer up most of us who are betting on a better tomorrow […]

As we continue with our series on women centric issues and the problems they want to addressed, this is one aspect that is not just an India centric issue. Yes I am speaking on gender gap in paychecks. You might have heard the celebrities across Hollywood and Bollywood demanding for equal pay, sags about how the heroes consistently command a higher pay but surprisingly, this story remains the same even […]
I was very pleasantly surprised when at the beginning of this survey, nearly 50% of those who responded, wrote back on the need to increase awareness about women’s health issues. Surprise because I feel that is sure a step in the right direction. Nearly 11 years ago I remember, women’s health was an oft ignored issue and almost never spoken about. Women by the sheer nature of their positioning in […]
It is Vijaya Dashami today. Across India people would be burning Ravana’s effigies signifying the triumph of truth over evil. Somehow amidst these festivities I cannot help thinking that as human, what steps have we taken to demolish that demon within us. Almost every day the morning headline screams aloud about oppression that women undergo, brutal rape stories cover the news pages and eve-teasing has pretty much become the order […]
Let me start with a big thank you to all our patrons and well wishers for their heartfelt support to our small Navratri Women Special Series. In keeping with the norm, we are highlighting issues on women, for women and by women. Today’s issue is perhaps not really women related but surely what every woman worries about. Yes I am talking about the scourge of Pollution. As the festival season […]
As Clamorworld continued with its survey trying to understand what women want to change, one primary topic that sprang up far too often was the way how women are projected in the endless soaps that constitute the core content of most general entertainment channels.
