'Women In Caves?': Anand Ranganathan Destroys Rahul Gandhi's Smash Patriarchy Narrative With Data

Описание: Anand Ranganathan says Rahul Gandhi is presenting Indian women as trapped while ignoring measurable progress. On the Scrutiny podcast with Aditi Prasad, he cited higher female labour participation, wider access to bank accounts, rising education enrolment, more women in STEM, falling maternal mortality and expanding rural women’s collectives. The official record confirms important gains, especially in maternal health. India’s maternal mortality ratio fell from 130 in 2014–16 to 93 in 2019–21, and stood at 88 in 2021–23. Female labour participation has also risen, though the exact figure depends on the survey and definition used. This report separates Ranganathan’s claims from verified data. It asks whether Rahul Gandhi is exposing real problems or exaggerating India’s condition for political effect. The larger question is clear: can India acknowledge progress without pretending that every problem has been solved?

AXIS is where the world is explained through India’s lens. For decades, global narratives have been shaped by Western media... told through Washington, London or Beijing. But as India rises as a major economic, military and diplomatic power, why should others define the world for us? Why shouldn’t India shape its own voice, own perspective, and own narrative? That’s where AXIS comes in. We decode global power shifts, wars and conflicts, the India-China rivalry, Pakistan, West Asia, oil shocks, trade battles and neighbourhood politics - with one key question: What does this mean for India and for you? As India rises, so should its share of voice!
