[Reader-list] Suggestions for a French journal article

[Uddipana Goswami]

A French journal in its next edition will be focussing on initiatives
throughout the world that work in promoting social and cultural diversity in
their own country, giving voices and recognition to disadvantaged
communities or building up bridges between people. These initiatives may
deal with politics, education, media, employment, culture, urban policies,
etc.

Regarding India, it wants to focus on diversity matters that are considered
“specific” of Indian society or particularly important, like gaps caused by
the caste system, gender issues, homosexuality, slum youths, religious
discriminations, and whatever else may be relevant.

It wishes to see for instance if there is any positive action that helps
young people from low castes to enter universities? Any politics that
promotes diversity representation in media (TV channels, newspapers)? Any
arts program aimed to give cultural empowerment to socially disadvantaged
kids and create bridges between lower and upper classes?

The journal believes it might be interesting to focus on portraits of
people, kinds of “colourful (and efficient) activists”, whose testimonials
would shake stereotypes regarding the community they come from, and present
solid proposals to move forward.

Any suggestions in this regard are welcome.
