Envisioning a mental health science to empower vulnerable women, children and youth

My career path was shaped by my parents political activism. My father, a political scientist, and my mother, a historian, both focused on social adversities and inequalities in India and other developing countries. Unlike them, I turned inwards, to the study of psychology; to understand the root causes of distress, the processes of individual-social change and the pathogenesis of distress, stigma and discrimination. While caste, religious and class differences were familiar to me, my time in the UK and Europe made me experience these firsthand.
