has been in the works for months and finally gives a voice to the men and women who suffer every day to feed themselves.
Cows are sacred to India’s Hindu majority. For Muslims, that means growing trouble.
A very special show by

Will India's oppositions latest attacks resonate with voters any better than its previous attempts?
Here's how the Anti-Modi alliance is faring as the national elections approaches
Can a poll accurately predict a reliable outcome after it surveyed just 2478 people in a state with over 200 million people and a voting population of 100 million+?

is horrifying in the extent to which foreign governments have participated in the imprisonment and abuse of these women. Apparently horses and arms dealers trump the rights of women in this world.
My first piece for
@NewYorker
, on the royal women of Dubai who risked everything to flee the brutality of its ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, while he publicly espoused gender equality. A story of mind-blowing courage and terrifying cruelty.

Developing countries get marked by a different yard stick - a more callous, unconcerned and only-for-profit stick.
The story of culture and tradition, of degradation of women and the intense loneliness of men who are left behind, of suffering and humiliation. There are too many men in my country!
Did not know any of this about a product I grew up drinking everyday. Lovely piece by

"My entire vocation as an investigative reporter was predicated on being able to reveal truths, and yet I could not even rustle up the evidence to convince my own mother that our 45th president was not, in fact, the hero she believed him to be."
"Each of the above comments, as well as this article, may well be said to affect the confidence of the public in the Supreme Court. We are all, therefore, under the present dispensation, guilty as charged."
