My sister in Jorhat returned to her lab only three months after her son was born, saying the 'maternity leave' was just a paused stipend with her project handed to another. Fieldwork? They assumed motherhood made her less willing to travel to remote sites, so she was given desk work, a quiet sidelining. The path to professor feels like reconciling a ledger where your family entries are seen as liabilities, not assets. From my own life, I see how our small-town pragmatism—like my tapioca harvest for fees—is often mistaken for a lack of ambition in bigger institutions.
