What you'll find here

Short explainers and opinion pieces that react to TOI headlines and themes. Expect pieces on culture and lifestyle like "How is life in India like compared to developed countries?" and food-focused reads such as "Why do Americans dislike Indian food?". We also cover politics and leadership debates with posts like "Does India deserve a politician like Amit Shah?", plus practical how-tos and expat life stories including "How hard is it for an Indian to settle in Japan?" or "How can I renew Indian passport in USA?". Sport and local interest show up too — for example, conversations on team selection and players like Rishabh Pant.

Do you think Times of India is sexist?

Do you think Times of India is sexist?

In my recent exploration, I've been pondering over whether the Times of India exhibits sexist tendencies. There are arguments that TOI, India's largest circulated English daily, often portrays women in a stereotypical or objectified way. On the other hand, the newspaper also has sections dedicated to women empowerment and gender equality. This presents a conflicting image, making it difficult to definitively label the publication as sexist. I believe the conversation requires a more in-depth analysis of the newspaper's content, context and intent.
