Certified Out of Existence: Why India's 2026 Trans Amendment Bill faced severe backlash
On March 13, 2026, India's government introduced the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, which swiftly passed both houses by March 25 and became law despite widespread protests from trans activists, lawyers, and opposition parties. The bill scraps self-identification for gender—upheld in the 2014 NALSA Supreme Court judgment—replacing it with mandatory medical certification by a board and District Magistrate approval, while limiting recognition to hijra, kinner, and intersex groups, effectively sidelining trans men, women, and non-binary individuals. It also imposes severe penalties, including life imprisonment, for "coercing" others into transgender identity, which critics fear could criminalize family and allies. Activists like Krishanu, Raghavi, Aryan Pasha, and Kanmani slammed it as unconstitutional (breaching Articles 14, 15, 19, 21), arbitrary, and reminiscent of colonial-era laws like the Criminal Tribes Act, with protests erupting in cities from Delhi to Hyderabad. Amid global anti-trans backsliding (e.g., TGEU's 2025 index, US and UK developments), figures like Aakar Patel of Amnesty International India decried it as state overreach on inherent identity. Affecting ~487,803 trans persons (only ~32,500 with ID cards), the law unravels hard-won rights, framing the fight as one for the state's recognition of self-naming over official control.

SHEHEROS CAFE AGRA
this is my podcast https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Pzr4tIFWwq9eOnQChNvccnyye6Nc9CXM/preview Agra… a city known across the world for the Taj Mahal—a symbol of love. But beyond that iconic monument lies another story… not of love, but of courage. Sheroes Hangout Café. This is not just a café—it’s a statement, a space of resistance, and a symbol of survival. The café is run by acid attack survivors—women who have faced one of the most brutal forms of violence. An acid attack doesn’t just harm the face; it attempts to erase identity, confidence, and dignity. In India, hundreds of acid attack cases are reported every year. And the truth is, many go unreported. Easy access to acid, gaps in regulation, and social stigma make it a persistent issue. But Sheroes is where the narrative changes.

Beyond the Bin: The Invisible Journey of Waste in Seemapuri
Photojournalist : Ananya Barath In the narrow slums of Seemapuri, Delhi, "away" is a physical place. This photo essay explores the reality of waste management in India through the eyes of ragpickers who navigate it daily. While we believe our trash disappears once the lid is sealed, it actually fuels a massive informal economy. These images capture the human stories and dignity of labour within the circular economy. This is the reality of waste picking, a world where resourcefulness turns trash into a survival strategy.
