Hi, I'm Sanskrita, an independent journalist reporting on social justice, human rights, politics, culture, and occasionally on health and environment. I am currently based in Guwahati, Assam. My work has appeared in Foreign Policy, Slate, Al Jazeera, Atlas Obscura, Vice, Women's Media Centre, Cancer Wellness Magazine, Health Policy Watch, Fodor's Travel, The Third Pole, Whetstone Magazine, FiftyTwo, Scroll.in, Mongabay India, The Caravan, India Spend, Article 14, Behanbox, Missing Perspectives. I have previously worked as a journalist at Hindustan Times, and as an assistant editor at the independent publishing house Aleph Book Company. 

While my main interests are reporting and writing, I also occasionally shoot with a Canon 700D. You can find my Behance portfolio here. My journalism work can be found here.

I have lived in New Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai for education and work, but having spent my childhood and teenage years in Assam, I have an interest in issues concerning the Northeast of India. I speak Assamese (native), English, Hindi, and passable Bengali, Nefamese and Nagamese.
