Yogi Adityanath's face fills the screen before a single lyric is sung. The Hindu monk-turned-politician, who governs India's most populous state, is pictured as dramatic music swells beneath images of cows, saffron flags and Hindu nationalist iconography. Then comes the threat. In "Gau Mata" ("Mother Cow") posted on YouTube, singer Biru Kataria warns India's Muslims that anyone who slaughters a cow will be hunted down, burned alive and cut to pieces.

UNFPA Laadli Award for Gender Sensitivity

2021 - Current Affairs/Topical Issue

Anti-CAA protests: How Protest Politics Acquired a Feminist Undertone’, which aired on ‘CNN-News18’ has been awarded the UNFPA Laadli Media Awards for Gender Sensitivity 2021 for analyzing the nationwide CAA-NRC protests in India (between Dec 2019 and Feb 2020) from a gender perspective. Award citation: "Zeba Warsi's feature explores what made Shaheen Bagh and the anti-citizenship law protests nation-wide, not just women-led but intrinsically feminist. Zeba highlights how women's participation brought them out from the confines of premeditated gender roles, transformed men's roles as well, and enabled women to assert on a range of issues. In appreciation of this astute documenting of the changing role of women across all age groups in public protests, Zeba Warsi is presented the UNFPA Laadli Media Award for Gender Sensitivity 2021."
