Satrangi Express is a community-driven newsroom that enables budding writers, journalists, and activists to document the reality, struggles, and celebrations of LGBTQ+ lives in India. The idea of this platform is conceptualized as an inclusive media space wherein queer voices reach the fore, get amplified, and are treated with the depth and dignity they so rightfully deserve.

This is at a time when conversations on LGBTQ+ rights, identity, and representation have gained momentum, but are usually confined to urban narratives or surface-level reporting. Satrangi Express invites pitches from across the country to broaden that frame, document stories from small towns and marginalized communities, and capture everyday lived experiences that seldom make it to the mainstream newsrooms.

The editorial team has stipulated simple but stringent criteria for eligibility: written works no longer than 2,500 words are invited, although audio-visual formats such as short documentaries, photo essays, and multimedia features are also eligible. Newsroom needs underpin originality and depth of analysis and invite deeply reported submissions, investigations, or reflective personal accounts. The topics to be tackled would include law and policy, culture, health, education, and grassroots activism.

We would like to make this a space owned by the queer storytellers, adds one team member; the platform is crafted to nurture those emerging voices. Too many young journalists and activists do powerful work on the ground with limited platforms that understand their issues; Satrangi Express hopes to change things.

We welcome pitches from writers, students, independent journalists and community members. If you have a story to tell please send in your story proposals at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. It tries to be a newsroom that chronicles Queer India in all its myriad hues truthfully, sensitively and from within the community itself-a collaborative attempt at reaching out.

In recent times, for most scholars, including myself, social media platforms like Facebook have become an important tool with which to "bring research out of the ivory tower". They enable us to reach the general public and foster a spirit of research for the common good.

However, I have recently learned a salutary lesson: that such an approach can be so easily undermined, with a platform's own community standards weaponized against the very academic debate it claims to protect.

This article is my personal account. I often post about academic materials on my Facebook account: my own research, discussions of relevant studies, and critiques of educational issues.

The context is Vietnam's foreign language education sector, which is growing very fast and is a lucrative market. For example, to attract students, many private language schools promote what they call 'unique language learning methods' - which often are more of a marketing device than a genuine scholarly innovation. It was a post on this topic that led to my account’s removal.

In one posting, I commented on a newspaper article in which a teacher from a well-known language school promoted their method while criticizing the supposed lack of systematic teaching in Vietnam. Believing that the claim was neither academically sound nor for educational purposes but rather for marketing ones, I referred to it as questionable.

A few hours later, my post, along with others containing the word 'IELTS' - the International English Language Testing System - was reported for violating intellectual property rights. The agent reporting was listed as 'the University of Cambridge', though the claim was linked to a domain registered in India, strongly suggesting that the profile was a fraudulent impersonation. My account was soon disabled. Appeals to Facebook have had no effect.

A system open to abuse

My own experience is a stark illustration of how an academic debate can be shut down through the weaponization of a non-human content control system, and it was accomplished with alarming ease. In this instance, I believe the fake identity of a real brand was utilized, and Facebook's unsophisticated system appeared to identify a violation where there was only legitimate academic discourse.

This was a turning point that made me reflect on how easily academic voices can be silenced the moment they raise concerns about pseudoscience being used as a marketing strategy. This is not a new problem.

Businesses have always invented 'scientific stories' for their products. Those who have practised real science have persisted, but often they are ignored or silenced.

It is an unfair game. On one side, science often sits in the ivory tower, where ‘impact’ is measured by h-indexes instead of lives improved or generations educated. On the other side, those that try to bring knowledge to the public are forced onto for-profit social media platforms which lack the infrastructure necessary to protect them.

An uneven fight for resources

But what it comes down to is one simple question: who's more resourceful? Who has the power and means to fashion tools that can easily exploit the weak security systems of platforms like Facebook?

A malicious actor can silence a critic with minimal time and money investment. The victim, meanwhile, is left facing a faceless, automated system that is designed without nuance, context or even fairness in mind. While I doubt Facebook has ever taken its responsibility for free speech seriously, to say the least-the fact that its weak system is susceptible to fraudulent claims that suppress legitimate debate-is a worrying one. It becomes a passive agent of censorship. Absent of that, the call to leave the ivory tower is little more than an invitation into a digital wilderness where the loudest or wealthiest voice prevails, not the most truthful one.

The Hindustan Times is seeking experienced desk professionals to join its Nation desk in New Delhi.

They are going to decide our fates without us having any say in the matter-as if we were their subjects or dependents. The Hindustan Times call for applications comes amid a time when print media still depends highly on strong desk editors to ensure accuracy, speed, and quality. This makes the opportunity an important one for journalists seeking experience in national news coverage.
