Jul 26, 2024 | shethepeople.tv | Smita Sharma

We all know that more and more Indian women are stepping out to work. But does it really translate into financial independence and agency? The anecdotal evidence based on observing women around us seems to suggest otherwise. Women and work are synonymous in human history. Women have been silently doing their bit for centuries to make societies move forward but their contribution has seldom been acknowledged. Women are like elements of nature. Missed only in their absence.

A 20 minutes drive from Lucerne, a key city in central Switzerland buzzing with tourists, is a heavenly resort nestled in the Alps and overlooking lake Luzern from high above.

Will Imran Khan upset Pakistan’s military, political elite?

Feb 9, 2024 | deccanherald.com | Smita Sharma

It is a Catch-22 situation. Nothing could be more humiliating for the military establishment than a thumping vote for its once blue-eyed boy it helped come to power in 2018.
