In India, and across South Asia, the representation of women in positions of power is appallingly low. In a 2017 study, India ranked 149th in a list of 193 countries in terms of women’s representation in the lower House of Parliament. It trailed countries like Rwanda, Burundi, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. 

In this conversation with , , a Lahore-based legal expert with several years of experience with law and policy institutions across South Asia, says a seat at the table must be accompanied by a real say in decision-making and a change in societal mindsets. Without that, nothing will change on the ground.All Indians MatterNaima Ahmed

All Indians Matter is a digital home for conversations with and about India on the issues that truly matter. For most of our post-Independence years, this was done by the news media. However, in recent times, the media have been found wanting. As a result, the issues that should be highlighted are sidelined and the voices that should find a megaphone are muffled. This podcast is an effort to engage with everyone who cares about India, its Constitution, its liberal and secular values.

All Indians Matter is the creation of Ashraf Engineer, who was a senior journalist with some of India’s leading newspapers for 17 years. His media work included a stint in 2011 in Afghanistan, where he trained and mentored journalists. He subsequently quit the news media and is now part of the brand communication industry.
