Read excerpt
One night in November 2025, a scuffle broke out at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Central Library of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) over facial recognition entry gates, which students viewed as a tool for surveillance.

The World Bank’s standard measure, adult literacy for persons aged fifteen and above, placed India at 69.3% as recently as the 2011 Census, with rural women at 50.6%.
