December 29, 2023 The tragedy of real-life ‘dunki’ immigrants
Around the time ‘Dunki’ released, an Airbus A340 carrying 276 passengers, mostly Indians, was detained for four days in France over suspicions of illegal immigration. Reports say there are approximately 725,000 illegal Indian immigrants in the US — the third largest population of unauthorised immigrants after Mexico and El Salvador. US Customs and Border Protection data shows there’s an unprecedented number of undocumented Indians crossing into the US on foot, making for a dramatic spike in recent years. What forces people to take the ‘donkey route’, risking arrest, deportation and even death as they cross borders and oceans with the help of smuggling cartels?

December 16, 2023 Sexism, misogyny in popular cinema has real-life implications
There’s been a spate of films that glorify sexism and misogyny, and reinforce gender stereotypes. The problem is that popular cinema often defines what’s cool, so stalking, harassment and even violence against women are seen as permissible or even macho.

Gender activists have pointed to the link between such cinematic portrayals and real-life crimes. While popular cinema may be a reflection of existing social norms, filmmakers must get more responsible about gender portrayals. And audiences must get more discerning.

December 07, 2023 No solution in sight for rising crimes against women
Recent data shows a 4% rise in crimes against women but experts estimate that most of them go unreported. The situation on the ground is a lot worse than the numbers indicate, so it’s time to work on it in crisis mode. Fast-track courts and police sensitisation are only part of the solution; accessible free legal aid and a societal shift away from patriarchy are critically needed too. Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter.

About All Indians Matter

From the publisher's feed

All Indians Matter is a digital home for conversations with and about India on the issues that truly matter.

For most of our post-Independence years, this was done by the news media. However, in recent times, the media have been found wanting. As a result, the issues that should be highlighted are sidelined and the voices that should find a megaphone are muffled. This podcast is an effort to engage with everyone who cares about India, its Constitution, its liberal and secular values.

All Indians Matter is the creation of Ashraf Engineer, who was a senior journalist with some of India’s leading newspapers for 17 years. His media work included a stint in 2011 in Afghanistan, where he trained and mentored journalists. He subsequently quit the news media and is now part of the brand communication industry.
