Need advice: Struggling with family pressure and mental health while pursuing my PhD Hi everyone, I’m 24 years old, currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at a college 30 km away from home.

What Does Respect for Women Look Like in Everyday Conversations Today, after my routine badminton session with my partners, we were heading home when one of them, a 24-year-old, mentioned he wouldn't be joining tomorrow because his wife was going out, and he needed to look after their newborn. Another partner jokingly suggested that he should call his sister-in-law over—first to entertain the child and then, at night, to "not feel his wife's absence." Shockingly, the first partner responded with pride, claiming he had already been intimate with his sister-in-law. Their conversation quickly devolved into a display of vulgar... 1 6 replies

Am I not attractive? In the last 2 years I’ve gained a lot of weight . My sisters who were overweight have lost the fat and looks very beautiful and whenever a conversation focuses on my eldest sisters says that I’m the prettiest of all the sisters .

Have the Indian people given up on India? Over the last decade every capable person I know has left India. By capable I mean with the ability to leave.

Earlier I used to think that things will slowly and steadily get better in India and these people will regret leaving but in the last 10 years, I feel like I’ve been proven wrong at every step. Currently the situation feels like it’s the worst it’s ever been. The entire country is the grip of toxic air pollution with... 2 10 replies
Why do people blame and villianize N.Sitharaman for inordinate taxes when it’s clear that she is just a face? We all know how little power the ministers and netas in Modi govt hold. It’s just the two men - Amit shah and Modi holding the cards with their stooges deployed at each position. In order to avoid getting criticism from everyone they have appointed a scapegoat and vilified her enough so that people hate her and that protects them from any direct attacks. And guess what they have been absolutely successful. 2 10 replies
