On August 14, as I sat amongst the audience at Neha’s book launch, I teared up to see her on stage, in all her glory. It was one of those evenings where there was so much pure joy just to be able to watch a friend, someone you deeply admire, truly have their own moment. Every single person in that over crowded room had come together only for Neha and only because of Neha. @nehadixit123 on film.

I haven't read anything as beautifully narrated as this one. So much so that I had to document this one here.
It's a heart wrench story intertwined with the realities around us which we often overlook

@khushyness being my forever reading companion. thanks for the recommendation

‘एक खोजी पत्रकार के लिए दिमाग से ज़्यादा पैरों की ज़रूरत होती है.’ एक प्रोफेसर द्वारा दी गई इस सीख को अपने काम में गांठ बांधकर रख लेने वाली नेहा का मानना है कि खोजी पत्रकारिता ज़मीन पर जाकर ही की जा सकती है. इसलिए उनकी एक ही सलाह है कि, “करो, एक विषय लो, फील्ड पर जाओ, और करो.”

F- रेटेड इंटरव्यू के इस एपिसोड में मिलिए नेहा दीक्षित से. नेहा राजनीति, जेंडर और सामाजिक न्याय से जुड़े विषयों पर काम करती हैं. 16 साल के पत्रकारिता करियर में उन्हें दर्जनों अवॉर्ड प्राप्त हो चुके हैं जिनमें अंतरराष्ट्रीय प्रेस स्वतंत्रता पुरस्कार 2019, अंतरराष्ट्रीय पत्रकारिता में कर्ट शॉर्क पुरस्कार (2014), लोरेंजी नटाली पुरस्कार (2011), उत्कृष्ट महिला पत्रकार के लिए चमेली देवी जैन पुरस्कार (2016) शामिल हैं.

कल्पना कीजिए एक ऐसी दुनिया जहां नारीवादी नज़रिया सिर्फ फिल्मों में ही नहीं बल्कि सभी प्रथाओं में केंद्रीय भूमिका में हो? इस कल्पना को साकार करते हुए आज हम इस नारीवादी नज़रिए को पॉडकास्ट के बरास्ते आपके पास लेकर आए हैं. इस शो में आप मिलेंगे अलग-अलग क्षेत्रों में काम करने वाले अभ्यासकर्ताओं से और नारीवादी नज़र को केंद्र में रखते हुए द थर्ड आई टीम के साथ होंगी रोचक, शानदार, जानदार बातें.

पॉडकास्ट सुनने के लिए बायो में दिए लिंक पर जाएं.

Ajay Singh Bisht was born in Uttarakhand, a hilly state carved out of #UttarPradesh. A mathematics graduate, at 22, he was unemployed and looking for work. So he joined the Gorakhnath Math monastic order, named after 11th-century saint Gorakhnath, in the Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh.

The Nath tradition did not believe in idol worship or one God. Rather, its syncretic culture welcomed people from all castes and religions. Even today, the Math has non-Brahmin priests, a break from the Hindu caste order, and runs schools, hospitals, and cow sheds in its large temple complex.

On joining the Math, Ajay took on a new name and a vow of celibacy, shaved his head, embraced saffron robes for life, and officially changed his last name to be similar to that of the head of the Gorakhnath Math, Mahant Avaidyanath.

Four years later, in 1998, he would become the youngest Member of Parliament in India at age 26, representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), whose claim to fame at the time was the political arm of a national movement to reclaim Hindu god Ram’s birthplace.

In 2017, Uttar Pradesh would swear him in as its Chief Minister. Uttar Pradesh, as the most populous state in #India, sends the most people to the Indian Parliament. The party that wins Uttar Pradesh impacts national politics. There is no man more powerful and visible in the state today than Yogi Adityanath. And this is his story.

Every aspect of our lives in India is ruled by Hindu symbolism. Hinduism is the default in our prayers, in our movies, whatever we watch on TVs, in our academic environment, in our mainstream news, in our politics, our laws, in the religion of our political and judiciary leaders, and in our homes. Yet, a person wearing a hijab infuriates you. Nothing is enough for the privileged.
