As Maharashtra votes, stories of resilience, promises, and systemic failures emerge from the ground. Plus, new video reports and op-eds.
Naukri crisis takes center stage in Maharashtra. Aakriti Handa analyses Mahayuti and MVA's competing visions for job creation as the state goes to polls on 20 November. Amid the campaign noise, Shameebha Patil, the state’s only transgender candidate, confronts deep-seated patriarchal barriers, in conversation with Eshwar. Beyond the statistics of farmer suicides, we examine the enduring impact on their children, while Pune’s sex workers reveal technological roadblocks in accessing welfare schemes. Elsewhere, GN Saibaba’s wife reflects on his activism and tragic demise in jail. Plus, a new episode of Janab, Aise Kaise?, and an incisive piece by The Quint's Editor-in-Chief Raghav Bahl on how a 'Truth Election Commission' could safeguard democracy.
