"Believe in yourself." That is what we are told by not only the people we know, but from books, movies, superhero comics, you name it. We are told we can accomplish anything if we believe in ourselves. Except we know this isn't always true; we cannot accomplish everything simply through belief. However, one thing that you must always have belief in is yourself. Various studies have confirmed that self-esteem has a direct relationship with our overall well-being. Check out our article to find out more about how self-esteem impacts us!

"I adore it, I nestle it! It grows within me as the clouds of confusion over embracing my femininity clears in a distant horizon."

When some parts of the society has nefariously chosen to identify femininity with weakness, our generation of women may assume they are innately weak or that they must adopt masculine characteristics in order to be strong.

The Think Tank and Her Campus at Manipal calls upon all women to uphold their tenet and be proud of who they are.

Focusing on mainstream media and movies, the niche that is animation is overlooked. With children as audience members, animation becomes very capable of influence and shapes their ideas of reality.

If you’ve watched DDLJ your idea of love might be the yellow flower field, Simran and her wavy hair running towards Raj and his cliched guitar. This imagery overlooks every other important relationship this movie shows: Simran’s orthodox dad finally coming out of his shell to say “Jaa Simran, Jee le apni zindagi”. While this line is iconic to say the least, the love between the father and daughter is forgotten. This is what collapsing romance into love creates. In the last article of the themed week, read to unlearn our current notions of what love is.

How often have we heard (and danced along to) Bollywood item songs blaring over the speakers? At club nights, karaokes, parties and weddings, the list is endless. But do these catchy, upbeat numbers actually hide a more sinister and enduring bias towards women? Through their 'sexy' visuals and lyrics, do they actually reduce women to mere objects of sexual pleasure and desire? Find out more in the article!

Misogyny on television isn’t new to anyone. Bengali soap operas, which pick up on several elements started by the Ekta Kapoor brand of serials, seem to reflect upper and middle-class Bengali domesticity while essentially recycling the same tired old tropes that institutionalise your good old misogyny and casteism. In this article, we go through a few of these tropes and see how they can be internalised into harmful ideas and perceptions.

As a generation that was launched into a rapidly evolving media culture, it is hard to imagine media not being an essential component of our lives. The media we consume has become an inseparable part of who we are. In fact, it may even be our fifth limb. Although media may be utilized to represent important topics, biases can creep into its portrayal. This week, Her Campus at Manipal will examine these prejudices and how we have internalised it through a series of articles and illustrations. Join us in this detox as we try to unravel our internalized prejudices!

The fashion world is another form of art wherein artists can express themselves through creating outfits, and is indeed a complex social phenomenon. Sometimes it involves conflicting ideas and purpose, such as creating an individual identity or even rebelling against conformity. This pandemic has proved that the fashion industry is more than creating outfits for profit. Instead, it conveys the enormity of current situations such as the pandemic. This article portrays the diversity of ideas exhibited in the fashion world.

For Disability Pride Month, we would like to bring to everyone’s attention a concerning trend wherein people with any kind of disabilities, physical or mental, are closed to go into a shell and keep up an appearance of 'normalcy,' because to be openly disabled means to also have to deal with the burden of attached stigma and differential treatment in our society.

From the argument of the creamy-layer classmate to the explanation that the DBA community is not oppressed anymore; reservations have always been under intense scrutiny by the Upper Castes. But what they forget to remember is that Upper Castes have had a monopoly over education for centuries, and reservations are but a tool for the oppressed to sit at the same table as them. Read this article to find out more about why reservations are important still.

In March 2020, India went into lockdown—COVID-19 brought a halt to most of our daily activities. What began as a scary disease claiming lives has turned into "the new normal" a year later. But that's not the only change we've experienced over the past years. As we're still stuck inside our homes, here's a look at how COVID has and continues to impact us a year later.

In a world with praised progression and innovation, why is q***r representation in novels still so 20th century? From the gay football player to the “manly” le***an we have read it all over and over and over again. As contemporary readers of the time, we demand more than the homogeneity of the q***r narrative and one-dimensional LGBTQ characters.
