Tessa MorrowHOST
[eerie music] October, my favorite month, hands down.
Tessa MorrowHOST
I did my annual trip to Tombstone, and it was great seeing friends, visiting my favorite places, and just relaxing in the Old West.
Siddhartha AhluwaliaHOST
And there's the, even though in my opinion, you know, inside each of us is a kid, I still believe, no matter how old we get.
Siddhartha AhluwaliaHOST
So I see, you know, I'm like a boy from Meerut, even I'm 39 years of age, built, you know, on the fourth fund of Neon being an entrepreneur.
Siddhartha AhluwaliaHOST
Nessi, you know, inside you, you're a boy from Kanpur, right?
Nakul MandanGUEST
We can't get rid of our roots and our
Prashant AggarwalGUEST
Even though legally I am bound with as a seller, the platform can facilitate in my growth.
Prashant AggarwalGUEST
So imagine as a small seller sitting in Meerut or any other such state, expanding my business across various cities because Amazon know those goods have demand there, but I used to be reluctant to go those ways.
Prashant AggarwalGUEST
Now I would be more than happy to do that because it will become very easy to take registration and compliances.
Govindraj EthirajHOST
Got it.
Saumya DadooHOST
Yes, um, we will come to talk about the special court and its workings in a minute.
Saumya DadooHOST
Um, the rescue operations are the starting point of the sequence of interventions prescribed by the ITPA and the starting point of your ethnography, where you compare an operation that takes place in New Delhi and another in nearby Meerut.
Saumya DadooHOST
How did sex workers respond and navigate these operations, and what does that tell us about the way anti-prostitution law works in India?
Vibhuti RamachandranGUEST
In that chapter on rescues, chapter two, my interviews and my ethnographic observations, um, were focused on interactions between women who had been rescued, police, uh, other state agencies, and NGOs.
Vibhuti RamachandranGUEST
And the two rescue operations that I observed in New Delhi and in Meerut were quite a contrast to each other.
Vibhuti RamachandranGUEST
They brought forth, um, you know, different constructions and navigations and contestations of the concept of victimhood, for instance, right? So I think that was just, um, extremely telling, and I, I can say a little bit more about that.
Vibhuti RamachandranGUEST
Um, the rescues were also marked by tensions, right? Between, um, not just between the women and these entities that were performing the rescues, but also among the entities, right? Between, um, the, the police and the state agencies that were involved, at times the Child Welfare Committee, um, and the NGOs.
Vibhuti RamachandranGUEST
Um, and the woman who had, um, you know, started this whole thing of wanting to escape, she was found and, um, five other women who, uh, said they had been trafficked and wanted to leave were eventually rescued.

Jaya Bhattacharji RoseHOST
Oh, absolutely.
Jaya Bhattacharji RoseHOST
Because I remember my grandfather used to talk about how he used to watch where he stayed in a town close to Delhi, Meerut.
Jaya Bhattacharji RoseHOST
Bagpipes were made there.
Jaya Bhattacharji RoseHOST
Really? Yes.
Sarbajeet MohantyHOST
I am a history enthusiast.
Sarbajeet MohantyHOST
In the last three years, I have visited places in Delhi, Meerut, Kanpur and Lucknow where significant events of India's first war of independence 1857 happened.
Sarbajeet MohantyHOST
I travel alone and I have visited many places of massacre and burial.
Sarbajeet MohantyHOST
Some are sad and others are downright creepy.
Sarbajeet MohantyHOST
Three years back, I visited Kamla Nehru Ridge.
Sarbajeet MohantyHOST
At the ridge, there is a small round structure called the Flagstaff Tower.
Sarbajeet MohantyHOST
In 1857, when revolutionaries from Meerut entered Delhi, many European civilians escaped the walled cities and spent the night there, waiting for the help to arrive from Meerut.
Sarbajeet MohantyHOST
But Meerut had already crumbled.
Uthra GanesanGUEST
So UP is Aichi and, uh, Nagoya is Lucknow.
Uthra GanesanGUEST
But a lot of events are happening outside of Lucknow in Kanpur, in Meerut, in maybe Bulandshahr, and all that.
Uthra GanesanGUEST
So it's something like that.
G SampathHOST
Right.
