Another example of how policies that do not take into consideration realities of rural India adversely affect prospects of rural youth. Good that someone looked into it (may be for some other reason). I hope there will be some course correction.

Cultural safety is not about culture, but about respecting the rights of the marginalised and promoting a reflective practice on how we experts are in a way part of the problem due to our privileges and assumptions. @prashanthns @sunilgeorge78 & co write. theindiaforum.in/article/will-c…


Health problems are as much socially constructed as much as they are medically/clinically manifested; if healthcare delivery does not meaningfully engage with #gender it will be grave injustice to the social determination of health and illness

Authors working with #Adivasi communities in southern Karnataka write about their experience in engaging with communities to ensure culturally safe care in the context of communities that face historical and ongoing marginalisation

How many of us reflect on our own biases and prejudices vis-a-vis the indigenous communities with whom we work? How can we build cultural safety into our public health practice with various communities? @prashanthns & colleagues write. theindiaforum.in/article/will-c…

Interesting and honest reading @prashanthns. Could a well-designed meritocracy then help us overcome centuries of social baggage in the form of caste, class, gender and such that the new India would like to leave behind?

What we don’t problematise, we will not solve. A thought provoking editorial by @prashanthns aptly in context of babel today on "Merit sans Caste". @PubHealthAdv @confusedvichar gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e0…
