To unwind, I listen to Hozier and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.ДЇII:В What do you like about FII and our work? What more would you like to see from us? I am also fond of reading, it has been my oldest love вЂ“ Wuthering Heights and Fountainhead are my favourite re-read books. Harshita Kumari:В I am a big time foodie, so I love cooking and eating, a lot. The range of issues covered is not only illuminating, but also is the perfect balance between perhaps an abstract academia and popular perceptions.ДЇII: What do you like to do when not writing about gender and social justice? I think it was a cathartic piece but also gave me an avenue to draw attention and initiate a dialogue with friends and peers on an issue often couched in a language of humour.ДЄs for my favourite piece on the site, I think I have enjoyed the вЂHistoryвЂ™ section, quite particularly.

Harshita Kumari:В I think my favourite piece, written by me has to be, вЂњBihari Hai Kya?: A Question Rooted In Social OtheringвЂќ. I am looking forward, in whatever capacity I can, then to dispel the myths and misconceptions of the word and to work towards the movement reclaiming its lost ground.ДЇII:В What is your favourite piece on this site that you have written, and your favourite piece on this site that you have read? Why did they strike you? That today the word has turned into a misnomer and is often misappropriated and hurled as an abuse, is both painful and representative of an interesting development of the movement for me. My college, as an all-girls institute further deepened my commitment to the politics and philosophy of feminism and most importantly, gave me a vocabulary to speak out.ДЄs a feminist, I think the alienation of the movement from the mainstream is closest to my heart. But perhaps, it was first in school when the seeds of it were sown, likely because for most of us, school is the first site where sexism manifests. Harshita Kumari:В I think I have been a feminist for a long time. I loved the work environment and I stayed on as a writer with the organization.ДЇII:В How and when did you become a feminist? Which issues within feminism are close to your heart?

As someone who is passionate about writing, particularly on the question of gender, I always wanted a platform that would allow me to do so without a filter, so I applied at the internship programme. Harshita Kumari:В I have always enjoyed FIIвЂ™s work and have found the prose style both communicative and engaging. And as someone with a History-heavy background, themes of the discipline also influence my work.ДЇII:В How did you become a part of the FII writer family? I am interested and I work around questions that are at the intersection of gender and power. Harshita Kumari:В I am a graduate student, studying History at University of Delhi. Some of her popular articles include Miss Universe 2021: Can The Celebration Of Beauty Be Removed From Political Accountability, Domestic Workers & Covid-19: Lessons In Dignity That Must Be Learnt, Bihari Hai Kya?: A Question Rooted In Social Othering, among others.ДЇII:В Tell us a little about yourself and what you do. Since then, Harshita has published her prolific essays on a diverse range of topics from socio-political commentaries on academia, access to infrastructure such as public transport, domestic workersвЂ™ rights to history pieces and right to privacy. This December, we feature Harshita Kumari.ДЄ University of Delhi graduate student, Harshita has been associated with FII since May 2021 when she first joined as an intern.
