Where are our women? As one paper shows, they’re not on the streets. As another paper shows, they don’t leave home. As a third paper shows, they’re not even in the colleges of their choice. What’s going on?Welcome to episode 1 of Watching the Wheels, hosted by Amit Varma, Shruti Rajagopalan and Pranay Kotasthane. In this episode, Shruti digs deep into three fantastic papers that reveal deep truths about the lives of women in India — and explains why we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Everything is multi-causal and complicated. Amit discusses pink shoes and the phenomenon of Simultaneous Sameness. Pranay shares how a dog bit him in central Bengaluru, and raises an ethical and policy question about street dogs. The 1983 Cricket World Cup is discussed. (Ballu zindabad!) And viewers from Kerala will love the chart of the week. :)And oh, btw, we released our pilot episode last week as episode 0. Watch it here: • AI Can Help You. AI Can Hurt You | Episode...
