Features

Here are links to features I wrote for Tehelka. Although I have picked them up at random, have divided them in this list, to general features, profiles, sex selective abortions, and green features. Please note, many of them are news stories or news features, but have listed them here as they do not fit into a news daily's notion of daily news.
