| 11/29/24 | ![]() War and hunger: Will the ICC’s move against Netanyahu impact the Gaza crisis? | In this episode, The Hindu Data Team delves into the severe food shortages in Gaza and the ICC’s intervention, analysing the intersection of international law and humanitarian aid.

| 3/8/24 | ![]() Awareness or affordability: Why are cervical cancer screening levels low among Indian women? | Data Point podcast | In this episode, The Hindu speaks to doctors to understand the link between HPV and cervical cancer, and why screening rates are so low in India, compared to other countries. They say one major reason why women don’t get screened often, or at all, is because while women are predominantly viewed as caregivers, they often do not prioritise their own needs. While on the one hand, they want more women to get screened, when it comes to vaccination against HPV, they want it to be gender-neutral. They also discuss the need for greater awareness and a structured state intervention programme to boost screening and vaccination.

| 1/23/24 | ![]() Arrested abroad? How does an Indian navigate international laws | Data Point podcast | Earlier this month, a Qatar court issued the death sentence to eight former Indian Navy personnel. The former officers were arrested in August of 2022, allegedly for espionage. It’s a case that has brought the issue of Indian’s arrested abroad, back into the forefront. According to the latest data, taken from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha answers, there are about 9,500 Indians in prisons across 89 countries. Most of these Indian prisoners are in West Asian jails, over 2,000 are in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. In this episode, The Hindu speaks to Prabhash Ranjan, who teaches at the Faculty of Legal Studies at South Asian University, about what to do, if an Indian national is arrested in another country. Guests: Prabhash Ranjan, Faculty of Legal Studies, South Asian University | 25m 56s | ||||||
| 11/9/23 | ![]() Examining the 70-Hour Work Week: Insight or Imposition by Infosys' Narayana Murthy | Data Point podcast | Debating the 70-Hour Work Week: Are Long Hours the Answer for Young India? Featuring experts from diverse fields, this episode tackles the recent statement by Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy on young Indians' work ethic. We delve into the merits and drawbacks of extended work hours, the realities of such a commitment, and the validity of comparisons to post-war economies like Germany and Japan. Join us as we unpack the intricate balance between working longer hours and enhancing productivity, and explore what India should prioritize for its burgeoning workforce. | 34m 20s | ||||||
| 9/8/23 | ![]() A discussion on Madras HC judgment: Wife can claim a share in Husband's property | On June 24th, the Madras High Court held that homemakers are entitled to an equal share in properties purchased by the husband. The Hindu talks to Shaji Paul Chaly, former Justice of the Kerala High Court, and Ashok G.V., a practising advocate at the Karnataka High Court and Partner at Factum Law, to delve into the ramifications of this ruling. We discuss its potential as a legal precedent and explore whether it can be applied to husbands who are homemakers and working wives. | 18m 41s | ||||||
| 9/1/23 | ![]() Vital Signs Ep 4 | Has the medical profession become more commercialized over time? | Data Point podcast | Doctors and MBBS students from diverse specialisations, age groups, and geographies believe that the medical profession has increasingly come to look more like a business, rather than a vocation. The impact of this, and where the medical profession stands now, is explored in this episode. | 23m 57s | ||||||
| 8/25/23 | ![]() Vital Signs Ep 3 | Does NEET's curriculum serve only as entry filter or does it offer more? | Data Point podcast | Doctors and MBBS students from diverse specializations, age groups, and geographies believe that the preparation required and done for the NEET examination, does not actually help or provide any added advantage when they start their MBBS course. In fact, they claim that during the MBBS program, every student starts from the same level. Given this, they also told The Hindu that States, rather than the Centre, should make decisions on how medical entry is conducted, to ensure that the State's medical needs are met-- in line with India's federalist structure.

| 8/18/23 | ![]() Vital Signs Ep 2 | Is medical education tailored to fill the shortage of specialists in rural India? | Doctors and MBBS students from diverse specializations, age groups, and geographies believe the notion that “rural students will naturally serve in rural areas” is flawed. Most argue that compelling students to work in rural areas might not be effective. Instead, integrating rural healthcare exposure into the MBBS curriculum and showcasing role models who work in remote areas could be more effective in bridging the rural gap. In this episode of “Vital Signs,” The Hindu Data Team consults various stakeholders in the medical field to understand the challenges preventing doctors from serving in rural settings and potential solutions. | 40m 50s | ||||||
| 8/11/23 | ![]() Vital Signs Ep 1 | Does NEET favour wealthy, urban and CBSE board students? | Doctors and MBBS students, in various fields of specialisation, across various age-groups, from diverse geographies, say they believe that while common entrance examination for medical seats is a necessity, the coaching industry skewed it in favour of urban and richer students. Unaffordability of quality coaching classes and the luxury that richer students have to drop a year to prepare for the exam, make it increasingly difficult for students from poorer and more rural backgrounds to get a seat, they said. In this episode of Vital Signs, The Hindu Data Team speaks to various stakeholders in the medical field to understand the issues plaguing India's medical education, over the years. | 53m 49s | ||||||
| 6/22/23 | ![]() How Turkey's economic and political trajectory compares to India | Data Point podcast | On May 28, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won the run-off elections, extending his rule for another five years. Erdogan has been president since 2003. Over the past twenty years, he’s used religion to come to power, and maintain it, in a country where popular politics previously had a largely secular flavour. Erdogan, and his Development Party (AKP), used religious nationalism to create the new Islamic Turkey. In this episode, The Hindu speaks to Sathish Deshpande, to understand, how much of this is a result of Erdogan and his policies, and identify the similarities between Turkey’s trajectory and what we are seeing in India. | 28m 45s | ||||||

| 5/29/23 | ![]() "Supreme Court's ruling on divorce does not empower women": HC lawyer Geeta Ramaseshan | Data Point podcast | Earlier this month, the Supreme Court passed a ruling that allows the apex court to grant divorce in cases of what it termed irretrievable breakdown of marriage. The decision was made in line with the premises of Article 142.1 of the Constitution which states that complete justice should be done in any cause or matter. There are several grounds for divorce listed in India’s marriage acts, but until now, the irretrievable breakdown of marriage was not one of them. This ruling means that couples, who want to end their marriage without blaming their spouse for something like adultery or abuse, can do so. But this process isn't as simple as it seems. In this episode, The Hindu speaks with Geeta Ramaseshan about how much of an impact this ruling will actually have, and whether it helps empower women to leave unhealthy marriages. | 37m 34s | ||||||
| 5/13/23 | ![]() Unpacking trends seen in the 2023 Karnataka Assembly Elections | Data point podcast | The Karnataka Assembly elections saw the Indian National Congress achieve a comfortable win, as they secured 136 seats out of 224, 56 more than what they won in the 2018 elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party secured 64 seats, a 40-seat fall, and the Janata Dal (Secular) won 20 seats, 17 less than 2018. Congress was able to cross the halfway mark, and by 6pm, when counting ended, they emerged as the clear winner. In this episode, The Hindu discusses the trends seen in this election and the lead-up to the Congress' comfortable win. | 25m 55s | ||||||
| 4/27/23 | ![]() Who Will Watch the Watchers: Are CCTV cameras silent protectors or privacy invaders | Data Point podcast | India’s CCTV camera coverage has grown massively and Delhi and Chennai now have more cameras per square mile than cities in China. Generally, the public sentiment is that having CCTV cameras acts as a reassurance, so that in the event of a crime, there is video evidence to rely on. But this has not really resulted in a reduction in crime rates. In this episode, experts discuss the pros, the cons and where we draw the line between surveillance and public safety. | 53m 36s | ||||||
| 4/13/23 | ![]() Hostile witness, doctored evidence, erring judges: Justice K. Chandru on why police are not convicted for custodial violence | Data Point podcast | Following a case of custodial violence in Ambasamudram in Tamil Nadu, the issue of police excess is back at the forefront. Lok Sabha data shows that 478 deaths were reported in Tamil Nadu while suspects were in judicial or police custody between 2016-17 and 2021-22. Uttar Pradesh recorded 2,580 deaths in judicial or police custody, the highest among all states. Despite this, conviction rates are shockingly low. Data from the National Crime Record Bureau shows that in Tamil Nadu, not a single police officer was charge sheeted, arrested or convicted for custodial violence in the past five years. Across India, only 286 magisterial or judicial enquiries were ordered, 79 charge sheets were issued and 114 police officers were arrested, while none were convicted. To understand why holding police officials accountable is difficult, The Hindu speaks with retired Madras High Court Judge K. Chandru. This is part one of a two-part series on custodial violence. | 30m 23s | ||||||
| 3/24/23 | ![]() When sky has a limit: The looming space debris crisis | Data Point podcast | When countries and companies increasingly send satellites and spacecraft into orbit, they face an increasingly pressing problem: a lack of space. Debris from old satellites and other launches are floating around the earth, clogging orbital highways and increasing the risk of collisions with active satellites. Data from 2023 finds there are 13,953 pieces of trackable debris in space, compared to 10,350 spacecrafts or satellites, and 2337 rocket bodies. In today's episode, The Hindu unpacks just how big of a problem space debris is. Experts discuss who is responsible for clean-up efforts, what that process would look like and what the path is moving forward, as our reliance on assets in space increases. | 30m 01s | ||||||
| 3/2/23 | ![]() What decides women's marital age — wealth, education or caste | Last month, the Assam government began an intense crackdown on child marriage. This got the debate going with social activists, who pointed out that the root of the problem — limited access to education among women — is still not being addressed. The National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data shows that higher education levels appear to play a greater role than wealth, in delaying a woman’s marriage. It also showed wide variations in marital age between rural and urban women, Dalit and upper-caste women. In this episode, Mary E John and Rajni Palriwala discuss the role that wealth, education and caste play in determining women’s marital age.

| 2/16/23 | ![]() What do poor mathematics scores in school mean for tomorrow's engineers? | Data Point podcast | The recently released Annual Status of Education Report 2022, which surveys learning outcomes of school children, revealed continued dips. In southern, central and western states, in particular, learning levels in mathematics dropped further away from what is expected at a certain grade level. As students continue to move to higher grades, with this weak foundation, what impact will this have on them when they go to university, and eventually enter the workforce? The Hindu speaks with experts to understand the long-term impact of this educational crisis. | 30m 03s | ||||||
| 1/19/23 | ![]() What's more important to control diabetes: Awareness or money | Data from the National Family and Health Survey-5 showed that, more than the wealth of a person, awareness levels play a relatively superior role in diabetes incidence. But do ground realities support this conclusion drawn using data? In this episode, The Hindu speaks to experts about the wealth-awareness-diabetes link. | 30m 58s | ||||||
| 12/19/22 | ![]() How The Hindu data team covers elections using night lights and census data | Data Point podcast | In this episode, The Hindu speaks to our own Srinivasan Ramani and Vignesh Radhakrishnan about how the data team carries out election coverage. From scraping the data to experimenting with different mapping softwares, and analysing the results in real time, this episode brings you into our newsroom. | 42m 30s | ||||||
| 12/1/22 | ![]() Denied & delayed: Is the RTI process becoming more restrictive and less pro-people | Data Point podcast | The Right to Information Act was passed in 2005, and it gives citizens access to the records of central and state governments. This act gives people the power to question the government, making it a key part of maintaining a healthy democracy. But the act isn’t as foolproof as it seems. When it works, the act is a powerful tool, that can uncover major issues in areas that fall under the government. But with issues like vacancies in information commissions, a reluctance to be transparent and delays with appeals and complaints, the act’s power seems to be getting weaker. In this episode, The Hindu speaks with journalists and RTI experts about these issues, and how it is affecting the law. | 1h 02m 42s | ||||||
| 11/17/22 | ![]() Brazil elections: The weight of Lula's environmental promises | On October 30, Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, more commonly known as Lula, won Brazil’s nail-biting presidential election. Lula, a leftist populist, ran against incumbent Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing hardliner, in a deply polarised Brazil. During his campaign, Lula pledged to implement policies to protect the Amazon, which saw widespread destruction under Bolsonaro. In this episode, The Hindu speaks to experts on what incentivised voters to choose Lula, and how important climate change and environmental issues are to the Brazilian people. | 36m 34s | ||||||
| 11/3/22 | ![]() Dissecting caste discrimination from admissions to placements: Part 2 - IITs, IIMs and beyond | Data Point podcast | Last week, The Hindu released part one of our two-part series on caste discrimination in India’s elite institutions for higher education. Although IITs and IIMs really constitute a sliver of India’s higher educational institutions, they still manage to exert a disproportionate normative influence on debates surrounding higher education, because they are seen as the standard bearers. In this episode, we expand on this to gain a better understanding of the experience students from backward classes have, while also seeing how this discrimination manifests in IIMs. | 42m 15s | ||||||
| 10/20/22 | ![]() Dissecting caste discrimination in Indian universities from admissions to placements: Part 1 - IITs | In July, The Hindu’s data team published a story that revealed major disparities in the admission rate of PhD candidates from Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other backward classes backgrounds. Data released by the Lok Sabha found that in nine IITs, across India, the acceptance rate for SC/ST/OBC PhD candidates was at or below 8%, despite all of these universities receiving hundreds of applications. This is happening despite having reservations in place. What is going on behind the scenes at India’s top universities and how did this kind of structural and systemic form of discrimination ferment itself into higher education? This is the first episode of a two-part series, examining this caste-based discrimination, and the impact it has. | 52m 22s | ||||||
| 10/7/22 | ![]() Mid-day meal scheme: what's really being served? | Data Point podcast | The mid-day meal scheme is considered to be one of the government's most successful initiatives. For thousands of children across the nation, this scheme guarantees that they get at least one meal a day. While this has led to increased school attendance, data and social audits reveal that the food being served is sometimes unhygienic, cold, contaminated, or nutritionally inadequate. Consequently, issues like food poisoning, are seeing a spike. In this episode, The Hindu speaks with experts on the benefits of the mid-day meals scheme, what they've seen on the ground and how to effectively implement feedback mechanisms. Correction at 11:45: Host say's, "still, both Sylvia and Dipa agree, that of the two options, meals cooked in centralised kitchens are generally better." It should be: meals cooked in decentralised kitchens are generally better | 31m 09s | ||||||
| 9/22/22 | ![]() Catch me if you can: Why convicting cyber criminals & online fraudsters is a challenge | NCRB data shows that cyber fraud is increasing in non-metropolitan cities. In fact, in the 19 metro cities which have a population above two million, the number of cyber fraud cases recorded is somewhat plateauing. But other cities and towns are seeing a sharp increase in these crimes, recording 9813 cases in 2021, compared to 4194 cases seen in that same year in metro cities. This is happening at a time when people are increasingly relying on the internet for day-to-day activities, including financial transactions. This reliance is also encouraged by the government, through schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana. But is this creating fertile ground for criminals behind the screen? In this episode, The Hindu discusses what might be causing this rise in non-urban cyber fraud, and how you can protect yourself online. | 26m 08s | ||||||
