What Women Want: Understanding The Female Voter in Modern India
<p>In the long history of post-Independence India, the woman voter was invisible, rarely spoken about, and almost never listened to. But today, something has changed. Women are voting in greater numbers than ever before, making independent choices and holding politicians accountable. Journalist Ruhi Tewari draws on two decades of travelling across various states in India, covering elections, to trace the emergence of this 'Mahila voter'. She explores how women vote, and why. Tune in to the episode to find out more.</p><p><strong>References: </strong></p><ol><li>Ruhi Tewari: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ruhi_tewari/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://x.com/RuhiTewari">X</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruhitewari/">LinkedIn</a></li><li>Book: <a href="https://amzn.in/d/0gMDhblc">What Women Want: Understanding The Female Voter in Modern India</a> by Ruhi Tewari</li></ol>

A Woman of No Consequence: Memory, Letters and Resistance in Madras
<p>What does it mean to recover the life of a woman who called herself a ‘humble housewife tied to mundane work’? In this episode, I am in conversation with Kalpana Karunakaran to discuss her book, ‘A Woman of No Consequence: Memory, Letters and Resistance in Madras’, a remarkable excavation of the life of Pankajam, a woman who defies easy categorisation.</p><p>Pankajam was a voracious reader who sought freedom from a fractured relationship with her husband. Her memories are vivid and layered, marked by a deep love for children, a spirit of travel, friendships forged across distances, and an attentiveness to nature, birds, and animals. Through it all, she reinvented motherhood entirely on her own terms. We explore why it matters to study a woman like Pankajam, someone who does not fit neatly into the conventional subject of feminist discourse and what her life reveals about resistance, memory, and selfhood. We also talk with Kalpana about her own mother, Mythily Sivaraman, a well-known Indian women’s rights activist. </p><p><strong>References: </strong></p><ol><li>Kalpana Karunakaran: <a href="https://hss.iitm.ac.in/kalpana-k/">Profile</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kalpana.karunakaran?igsh=MWN6ZnRhcjF6MGppbg==">Instagram</a></li><li>Book: <a href="https://amzn.in/d/0jjqEvah">A Woman of No Consequence: Memory, Letters and Resistance in Madras</a> by Kalpana Karunakaran</li><li><a href="https://tnsf.co.in">Tamil Nadu Science Forum</a> </li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythili_Sivaraman">Mythily Sivaraman</a>, <a href="https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Fragments_of_a_Life/AXN1Mq2WuYsC?hl=en">Fragments of a Life: A Family Archive</a> by Mythily Sivaraman (Life story of Subbalakshmi) </li><li><a href="https://www.iaws.co.in/">Indian Association of Women’s Studies</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vina_Mazumdar">Vina Mazumdar</a> </li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Austen">Jane Austen</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisa_May_Alcott">Louisa May Alcott</a> (<a href="https://amzn.in/d/0eEL3Da2">Little Women</a>), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Chekhov">Anton Chekhov</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Pushkin">Alexander Pushkin</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Tolstoy">Leo Tolstoy</a>, <a href="https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Katha_Prize_Stories/FTuO6nb9QuoC?hl=en">Katha Prize Stories</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_Indian_Association">Women’s India Association</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_India_Women's_Conference">All India Women’s Conference</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Marriage_Restraint_Act,_1929">Sarda Act</a>: Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Mayo">Katherine Mayo</a> and her book, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_India_(book)">Mother India</a> (1927)</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Rajamani">Mary Rajamani</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentina_Tereshkova">Valentina Tereshkova</a></li></ol>
