In this week’s South Central hosts, Dhanya Rajendran and Pooja Prasanna explore the churning in the country’s political Opposition. From TMC's dwindling numbers to DMK's tricky balancing act on the delimitation Bill. The hosts break down the realignment with senior journalist and Author Neerja Chowdhury and journalist Arvind Gunasekar. Is this about principles, or just who's placing the better bet?
Then, a hard conversation: child sexual abuse cases and the push for a sex offender registry. Vidya Reddy, Sannuthi Suresh and Subhashini from Thulir join to explain why a registry might do more harm than good, and what the real gaps in the system are.
