    From the Margins to the Mainstream: Intersectionality in Health Law Reform
    (Nitya Publication, 2025) Uzma, Adeeb Anwar
    This chapter explores the integration of intersectionality into health law reform, arguing that existing legal frameworks insufficiently address the compounded effects of multiple forms of discrimination. Drawing on foundational scholarship, contemporary case studies, and policy analysis, it makes the case for an intersectional approach as essential to creating equitable health systems. The paper concludes with strategic recommendations for embedding intersectionality into future health law reforms. Introduction Health law plays a vital role in determining how healthcare services are delivered, regulated, and accessed. Yet, traditional approaches often adopt a one-size-fits-all model that fails to consider the layered experiences of individuals at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities. Originating from critical race theory and Black feminist thought, intersectionality provides a necessary lens through which health law can become more inclusive and effective. This paper aims to examine how intersectionality has been historically overlooked in health law and offers pathways for reform.

    The Politics of Gender & Good Governance in India: A Critical Discourse
    (Bharti Publications, 2025) Faizan Haque
    Within the current development paradigm, one of the main challenges is gender disparity in India. It can take many different forms and is a major factor in determining the lives of most women on the Indian subcontinent. Numerous research studies and works published by international organisations have demonstrated the various dimensions of gender inequality that exist in India. In addition to restricting women's access to opportunities and resources, a lack of gender equality jeopardises the chances for the next generation. On the other hand, democracy, decentralisation, and local governance are inextricably related to each other, in which the role of women is a critical factor. Including women in decision-making roles, access and control, and the use of power and authority are all important aspects of mainstreaming gender in local government. Previous studies have indicated that socio-cultural hurdles that had not been addressed by several reform attempts often resulted in women being elected as "proxies" for their male relatives or preventing them from carrying out their representational roles. In essence, governance comprises the traditions, institutions and processes that determine how power is exercised, how citizens are given a voice, and how decisions are made on issues of public concern. This paper tries to find out factors which are responsible for gender inequality in various institutions and good governance in India. The descriptive and content analytical natures serve as the foundation for this research paper. The present paper is based on secondary data which will be collected from various sources like journals, books, reports, articles, internet etc.
