“Why can’t I be out there with her?”
Will McPhail’s In. explores how states of social withdrawal and wilful isolation are relinquished through an existential leap of faith in favour of authentic co-existence. McPhail’s protagonist, Nick, is portrayed as obsessively vigilant about his sense of personal space and fearful of its invasion by others, retreating from interactions that require intimacy and engagement. This article reads Nick’s anxious fixation on psychosomatic boundary mai…
‘Doors that could take you anywhere’
This article, through close reading, examines Mohsin Hamid’s novel Exit West as a developmental narrative mapping the transition from governmental immunopolitics to an emergent and sustainable nomadic communitarianism. Whereas the concept of immunopolitics refers to practices of systemic segregation based on a self-nonself schemata, nomadic communitarianism alludes to the gathering of stateless people into sporadic and metastable communities, whi…
Maybe I'm immune”
This article examines Will Self's Dorian, an Imitation , by critically reframing its protagonist, Dorian Gray, through the paradigm of the healthy carrier of HIV. It portrays Dorian as the archetypal carrier-subject of biomedical discourse, embodying a twofold precarity: as a vector of disease transmission and as engendering self-destructive proclivities Using the novel as a case in point, the article elucidates how the figure of the asymptomatic…
Trends in statin prescription among osteoporosis patients
Statin prescribing patterns in osteoporosis patients remain uncharacterized despite cardiovascular disease being a leading cause of mortality in this population. This study examined temporal trends and demographic variations in statin prescription rates among osteoporosis patients in the UK. This research is a retrospective cohort study utilizing the IQVIA Medical Research Data (IMRD) spanning 2005–2019. Patients’ diagnosis of osteoporosis and co…

Covid-19 Pandemic and Women's Age at Marriage
A rich literature has documented the relationship between age at marriage and girls' health and educational outcomes. The upheaval caused by the pandemic on household decision-making has been hypothesized to have influenced the age of marriage, but the direction of impact is unclear. On the one hand, the pandemic may have increased the age at marriage if lockdown policies and negative income shocks to families placed a burden on household wealth …
Achieving Maternal and Neonatal Mortality Development Goals Effectively
Each year, 295,000 women die during and just after pregnancy, and 2.4 million babies die in the first month of their lives. In 2019, 2,160,000 neonatal deaths and 275,000 maternal deaths occurred in low-income and lower-middle-income countries alone, translating to a welfare loss equivalent to $426 billion and $36 billion for neonatal and maternal deaths, respectively. The total loss was $462 billion or almost 6 % of these countries’ combined GDP…
And Then It Spreads”
This article attempts to demonstrate how Charles Burns' graphic novel Black Hole (1995) construes the prevalence of contagion and pathological transformation(s) as metaphors of social contamination operating within a biopolitics of segregation. Through a study of plague, infection and strange mutations in Burns' novel, this article offers a critical evaluation of the monstrous body and investigates how Black Hole portrays the social reception of …
A glass ceiling at the playhouse? Gender gaps in public and private preschool enrollment in India
India has reduced male-biased gender gaps in primary school enrollment and progression rates in recent years. However, patterns of early childhood education enrollment, selection of preschool, and related gender gaps remain inadequately studied. This study uses data from India’s National Family Health Survey (2019–2021), which collected preschool information for children aged 2–4 years, to examine female-male gaps in preschool enrollment. An esti…
The impact of primary schooling expansion on adult educational attainment, literacy, and health
Public finance of universal routine childhood immunization in India
India’s Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) is among the largest routine childhood vaccination programmes in the world. However, only an estimated 65% of Indian children under the age 2 years were fully vaccinated in 2019. We estimated the cost of raising childhood vaccination coverage to a minimum of 90% in each district in India. We obtained vaccine price data from India’s comprehensive multi-year strategic plan for immunization. Cost of vac…
Engaging with the private healthcare sector for the control of tuberculosis in India
BACKGROUND: The control of tuberculosis (TB) in India is complicated by the presence of a large, disorganised private sector where most patients first seek care. Following pilots in Mumbai and Patna (two major cities in India), an initiative known as the 'Public-Private Interface Agency' (PPIA) is now being expanded across the country. We aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of scaling up PPIA operations, in line with India's National Strateg…
Childhood vaccinations and adult schooling attainment
Routine childhood vaccines are among the most cost-effective life-saving interventions. In addition, vaccines have been linked with reduced stunting and improved health and other outcomes in later life. However, evidence on such long-term benefits remain inadequate. In this study, we examined the associations between the initiation and implementation of the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) in India and schooling attainment among adults. We …
The Impact of a National Early Childhood Development Program on Future Schooling Attainment
Evidence on the long-term benefits of early-life interventions remains inadequate in developing countries. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of India’s Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), a national program of supplemental nutrition and health services, on schooling. Using national survey data and employing age-state and village or city ward fixed effects regression, we find that nonmigrant 15–54-year-old men and 15–49-year-old wome…
Relationship between early‐life nutrition and ages at menarche and first pregnancy, and childbirth rates of young adults
India's Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) provides daily supplementary nutrition and other public health services to women and children. We estimated associations between exposure to early-childhood ICDS nutrition and adult reproductive outcomes. During 1987-1990, a balanced protein-calorie supplement called "upma"-made from locally available corn-soya ingredients-was rolled out by subdistricts near Hyderabad and offered to pregnant wo…
The effect of natural disaster on fertility, birth spacing, and child sex ratio
Reduced burden of childhood diarrheal diseases through increased access to water and sanitation in India
Health and economic benefits of scaling up a home-based neonatal care package in rural India
Approximately 900 000 newborn children die every year in India, accounting for 28% of neonatal deaths globally. In 2011, India introduced a home-based newborn care (HBNC) package to be delivered by community health workers across rural areas. We estimate the disease and economic burden that could be averted by scaling up the HBNC in rural India using IndiaSim, an agent-based simulation model, to examine two interventions. In the first interventio…
The unintended effects of cash transfers on fertility
Estimates of the economic contributions of the bidi manufacturing industry in India
Considering the relatively small economic footprint of the bidi industry in India, higher excise taxes and regulations on bidis are unlikely to disrupt economic growth at an aggregate level, or lead to mass unemployment and economic hardship among small bidi workers. On average, the economic annual output per bidi worker is about US$143, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the large economic losses from the several hundred thousand deaths…
