In France, with the burkini ban, the idea that covered dress is something which is some kind of insult to French culture. So, what it that? You're loading some kind of national burdens onto women's bodies and women's clothes. And all of them are burdens that take away from women's autonomy.

It has an interview with Sheila Dixit, the former chief minister of Delhi, talking about discrimination against women in our society. Dixit is actually one of those who is known to have made victim-blaming remarks herself when she was the chief minister.

He chose to live among the poorest of the poor in Phoenix in the midst of the African community (when no Indians were living there), leaving behind his beautiful home and comfortable life in Durban

There were lots of unknown Special Branch people who used to keep an eye on us. They recruited people from the community, paid them and asked them to spy on people like us. So there was a culture of spying at that time.

There were many, many difficulties that we faced. In the area where I was born we had no electricity, no running water. The roads were never fixed. Public transport was not available except for trains. So in terms of government services, we had nothing in that area.

In Satyagrapha, that’s the newspaper that I run, we try to promote Gandhian views.
