Social Issues
Behind every headline is a problem someone lives with. This section looks hard at India's social issues — the ones that don't resolve in a news cycle. Caste and who still gets left behind, the safety and freedom of women, the farmer's debt that never quite clears, the graduate with a degree and no job, the gap between a good school and the one down the road. Each article tries to explain the issue honestly: how it got this way, who it hurts, what's been tried, what's worked and what hasn't. Difficult subjects, handled with facts and care rather than outrage.
