What we measure, what we miss

What we measure, what we miss

Published by Parlour News

In conversations on women’s progress, numbers often lead while meaning trails behind. Before asking how much progress has been made, we must ask what, exactly, we are measuring — and whether our words are equal to the lives they seek to describe. In cities like Delhi, where women’s educational attainment has steadily risen, the persistent gap between education and employment offers a telling contradiction — one that exposes the limits of how we read progress. Consider the ease with which we invoke the term “independent”. It appears definitive, even celebratory. On closer scrutiny, however, it is less a destination than a comparison. A woman is often described as independent not in absolute terms, but in relation to others who are more constrained — more homebound, more economically deprived, less visible in the public sphere. The label does not capture autonomy so much as it ranks positions along a continuum of constraint. It is, in this sense, a trouser-term: tailored and presentable, but cut from the fabric of relativity. This relativity is not merely semantic; it …

VB-G RAM G – no measure of reform, says Thannatchi

VB-G RAM G – no measure of reform, says Thannatchi

Published by Parlour News

: The Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin  or VB-G RAM G) law,  which has replaced the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), is no measure of reform, according to Thannatchi, a civil society organisation specialising in issues of local bodies.  Calling the abolition of the MGNREGA an “autocratic act” of snatching away democratic and Constitutional rights that workers had obtained after years of toil, the civil society organisation contended that it had come out in the open that the Union government had wanted to “take away” the rights of the people instead of removing practical difficulties and strengthening the old law.  Thannatchi demanded the retention of the MGNREGA and the withdrawal of the VB-G RAM G law. It also called upon the State government to take legal steps for implementing the MGNREGA in Tamil Nadu, in addition to calling for protests on constitutional means till the new law was taken back.

Imran Khan: Investment recovery is not a reliable yardstick to measure art

Published by Webster

Published on: Nov 16, 2025 11:43 pm IST Imran Khan emphasises that art cannot be measured solely by financial success. Imran Khan who will soon be making a comeback in films says, “Investment recovery is not a reliable yardstick to measure art. All art is not for everybody. We tend to measure all things according to rupees earned. I always picked my characters thinking ‘ Do I vibe with this guys views on life?’ The gender dynamics and having a healthy dynamic between both partners has always been important. The audience back then who enjoyed those films and continue to re-watch them today, they enjoy the dynamic between the leads, where even in a romantic equation, there’s a witty remark- one upmanship, a clever repartee.” Imran Khan Speaking about his comeback film Imran recently told us, “The movie is just like what the team of Break Ke Baad would be doing 15 years later in life. It’s a natural progression. Danish and I now have collective life experience. He’s been married, I’ve been through a …

Government’s Big Measure Against Pak After J&K Attack

New Delhi: The Attari Border between India and Pakistan, located in Punjab, will be closed from tonight as part of retaliatory measures against Pakistan following the shocking terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam – the worst since the 2019 Pulwama strike — in which 26 people died.  Besides closure of Attari border, suspension of Indus water treaty and refusal to issue SAARC visas were among the range of measures India will take against Pakistan, the Cabinet Committee on Security decided this evening. The committee chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had met to formulate India’s response to the attack. “The Integrated Check Post Attari will be closed with immediate effect. Those who have crossed over with valid endorsements may return through that route before 01 May 2025,” the foreign ministry announced after the meeting.  The suspension of Indus Water Treaty – a water sharing agreement that sends the waters of Indus to the parched heartland of Pakistan – is the strongest measure. This is the first time the water treaty is being suspended – …
