Data shows that while 45% of India's graduates are women, just about 10% of educated women in the country pursue long-term careers. But not all is wrong. On Monday, in one such battle a young mother from Himachal Pradesh was fighting in the Supreme Court to be with her child who needed her, the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said the participation of women in the workforce is a constitutional entitlement and denying mothers child care leaves violates that. The mother in question was an assistant professor in a government college and said that the Himachal Pradesh government denied her child care leaves. Her child suffers from a genetic condition. The Supreme Court, in a welcome intervention, pointed out that the state, as a model employer, cannot be oblivious to such concerns.

The turnout for the first phase of the 18th Lok Sabha elections has been revised from the initial 60 per cent to 65.4 per cent. This final figure of polling on 102 seats across 21 states is lower than the 2019 figure, which was 70 per cent. With 102 seats done and 441 more to go, does the first phase turnout augur well for marathon elections?

More setbacks for the Aam Admi Party. A day after the Delhi High Court rejected Arvind Kejriwal's petition against his arrest, a senior leader and minister Raj Kumar Anand quit his post, saying that allegations of corruption made it untenable for him to continue. The AAP said Mr Anand was under intense pressure from the Enforcement Directorate, was scared, and had no choice. Arvind Kejriwal approached the Supreme Court today, which has not scheduled any immediate hearings on his appeal to have the charges against him be thrown out. Are things now spiraling out of control for the AAP? Is the party unravelling?
PM Modi hit out at the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, accusing the party of hate politics and of creating divisions.

In a significant judgment, a two-judge bench of the Supreme Court has ruled that the right of voters to know about each and every moveable property owned by candidates contesting elections is not absolute. This order is significant because it comes at a time when the right to information on electoral bonds has been cleared by the Chief Justice's court in the name of transparency. So the question is whether the transparency that we seek in our democratic processes may in fact be impacted.
A war of words has broken out between the Congress and the BJP. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge hit back at the Prime Minister after the BJP targeted the Congress party's election manifesto as having the imprint of the Muslim League.

Anti-BJP :(. I have always noticed how the whole conversation leads to not prove the important point , also not to question both NDA and UPA government but defend UPA and attack on NDA government. Lot of people needs to listen to unbiased conversations.
I use to listen to this podcast but I stopped because it is completely biased . it's Anti-BJP. I am not saying you or anyone needs to patronize BJP. But the anchor herself is so much biased towards the facts that she everytime focuses on trying to make a point how BJP is completely wrong
