Motherhood and Childfree Choice
Motherhood is considered to be the central part of being a woman in the pronatalist culture. However, an increasing number of women in India are rejecting and challenging the dominant norms of motherhood. In this context, I draw on empirical work exploring the meaning of motherhood and childfree choice among childfree women in India. In-depth Interviews with ten childfree Indian women revealed that they challenge womanhood being equated with moth…
Are You a Real Woman?’
India, a highly pronatalist country, places motherhood as a core element in defining women. Therefore, it is in this context that the choice of more and more women to be childfree needs to be analysed. This study attempted to explore the stigma and social exclusion faced by childfree women at home and in social settings. The qualitative methodology involving narrative enquiry was used to conduct in-depth interviews of 10 childfree women in India.…
Intertemporal budget constraint and current account sustainability
This paper examines the sustainability of the current account deficit (CAD) and validity of the intertemporal budget constraint of India for the period of 1980 to 2019.

Therefore, the results refute the sustainability of CAD and the validity of the intertemporal budget constraint in the In…

This study examines the dynamic relationship between fiscal balance and current account balance and also tests the 'twin deficit' hypotheses for India using quarterly data from 1996q1 to 2016q1. Empirical results support the existence of the twin deficit hypothesis and also suggest a reverse causality running from the current account balance to fiscal balance. These results have important policy implications for maintaining a lower current accoun…

English is taught as a second language at every stage of education in all states of India and has been accepted as the main medium of instruction in higher education. With the changing indispensable role of English, the teaching of English in India is in a deplorable state. The history of English language teaching unfolds authoritative precedents for the ideas mentioned. The different teaching methods of foreign languages are actually aimed to te…
