We, people often see things in black and white, especially in research. They assume that only people who experience a problem can truly understand it. For example, only Dalits can write about Dalit issues, or only disabled people can understand disability. While lived experience is important, outsiders with empathy can also contribute meaningful insights.

where are today's songs of mausam? In an age where weather is measured in AQI, temperature graphs, and climate alerts, the romance of seasons has faded. "Fiza," once rich with meaning—from air to the entire environment—has disappeared from our songs.Love, once felt in the air, now flickers on screens, compressed into digital texts, emojis, and fleeting notifications.
Our era of climate anxiety might sing not of cool breezes and moonlit nights, but of smog-filled skies and rising heat: "Yeh raatein, yeh mausam, nadi ka kinara… yeh dhool aur dhuaan?"
As the seasons change—not just metaphorically but irreversibly—how will love adapt? Will it find new ways to breathe, beyond the numbers on a weather app?

The West is Changing- But Who Will Lead? Dm instagram.com/sociology_official

Sociology is not about controlling society- it is about noticing the patterns, forces, and relationships that were always shaping us.

In India and many other societies, boys are often favored over girls, particularly in nutrition, education, and healthcare.

America does not have a single, traditional culture. It was formed by people from different parts of the world who came together and built a new country.

Agree?

Far-right movements exploit public frustration, using race, religion, and nationalism as rallying points, further accelerating the decline of the West.

While people pray for the Pope’s health, Hollywood prays for Oscars- both waiting for a miracle.

The Woman’s Hour: Unpaid Labor and Gender Disparities
The Time Use Survey 2024, released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, highlights the persistent gender gap in unpaid domestic labor. Women spend an average of 289 minutes per day on unpaid household work-201 minutes more than men. Additionally, women devote 137 minutes daily to caregiving, significantly more than men. This gendered division of labor limits women’s participation in the workforce, impacting their career progression, income, and access to quality jobs. Women are often confined to low-paying, part-time, or informal jobs, worsening wage disparities. The ILO’s 2024 report emphasizes investing in childcare and early education to improve women’s labor participation, as 53% of Indian women remain outside the workforce. While women's participation has increased to 41.7%, it still lags behind men’s 78% labor force participation rate. Studies estimate that unpaid labor performed by women contributes 15-17% of India’s GDP but remains unrecognized. Addressing this imbalance requires rethinking household responsibilities, challenging societal stereotypes, and fostering gender inclusivity in economic policies

Problems arise because people accept untruth as truth. Use wisdom to distinguish truth from falsehood.
