It's very well articulated. Articles on Constitution and Social Justice as well as on atrocity acts are informative, meaningful and time demanding. Dr. Ambedkar and EVR compromising analysis is worthwhile
Reading UNHEARD VOICES was refreshing. The editorials have admirable clarity of purpose and agenda. The non-polemical tone and tenor adopted for the critical issues taken up in essays, columns, interviews, reports and features propel this endeavour to the realm of discussion. This approach avoids unnecessary bickering over false binaries and shuns shrill debates. Interviews of the former CJI K G Balakrishnan, the ones on inter-caste marriages, on Safai Karmacharis (rightly called as Safai Sainiks in the interview) and real-life experiences of social worker Dr Anju Bala bring to fore moving experiences. Success stories of Mishri Bai, Dr Madam (Rekhaben) and Shreya Mendhe stand out. They demonstrate how women from underprivileged backgrounds can break through the proverbial glass ceiling. Reports on woes of the Mahadalits in the wake of crippling lockdowns indicate the extent of devastation the pandemic wreaked on the informal sector and economically vulnerable communities, in particular. It's just the tip of the iceberg. The report on silent and stellar contributions of the Dom & Valmiki communities flash a rare, but much-needed spotlight on their lived reality. The report on Dalit entrepreurship and MSMEs makes a case for tapping the unlimited potential of the underprivileged communities. This goes beyond 'mai-baap' trope and 'rights-based' viewpoints. Pieces on saints and seers Basavaveshwara, Kabir and Namdeo; unsung heroes of freedom struggle; icons Shankarrao Kharat and Prof Simhadri contextualise the past. The essay on Mithila paintings makes a layered case for looking at how art influences Dalits and vice-versa. The columns on New Education Policy explore opportunities and possibilities as well as point at the challenges that may come its way while implementing it on ground. All in all UNHEARD VOICES seems to be on track.
Unheard Voices actually covered not only unheard voices but also understood communities by major parts of society and which is the need of hour. India can become a super power only when grassroots people of India are allowed to put their contribution in this growth & it is possible only when they will get some job/work to earn their bread & butter. When we talk about GDP growth 8.5% lets focus on small scale industry. Bangladesh has already proven it by microfinance policy. Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, banker, economist and civil society leader Dr. Mohamad Yunus Founder of Grameen Bank and pioneering the concepts of microcredit and microfinance. This type of revolutionary concept can be adopted, implemented strongly to create economic and social development from a lower level. Peace and prosperity cannot be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty. Development must be made by contributed by and shared by each and every part of the society irrespective of their caste, religion, tradition. Unheard Voices is a great effort to make awareness of it.
