What's New
Every improvement to Unify The Lit, as it ships.
October 2026
More of the site in your language
The CCI questions are now available in Gujarati, Malayalam and Urdu. The discrimination record, Achievement Centre, Art Corner, mentor application, OCCS pages and the booking, post and event popups now read in all ten languages. What's New entries also show in your language, and Urdu opens right to left from your very first visit.
Join the Referral Circle on WhatsApp
The UTL Referral Circle is our WhatsApp community, where members share job openings, referrals and opportunities with each other. You can join from the green button in the header, the footer, the end of every story, and after you take the CCI or book a session.
September 2026
OCCS certificates and organisation profiles
Certified organisations now have a public certificate page with their logo and Babasaheb's portrait. Every organisation on the leaderboard opens into a full profile, including those still building, which show the areas they are working on. Organisation dashboards can also invite colleagues on Gmail or phone through an invite link.
Link your work email without signing out
On My CCI you can now prove your work email with a 6 digit code, right inside the popup, and your results start counting for your organisation. It works even if you signed in with a phone number, and you stay signed in throughout.
Search the whole site
A search box now sits in the header. Type a name, a book or a phrase and see writings, mentors and stories in one place, with the matching line from Babasaheb's chapters. On a phone it opens as a full sheet, and the full results live on their own search page.
A steadier editor for your stories
Quotes, pasted links, image resizing and undo now behave as you expect, and Cmd+S saves on a Mac. Your pen name stays yours instead of being replaced by your account name, and saving a story twice no longer creates a duplicate. Your profile is also split into clear tabs: Basics, Personal, Professional, Education and Network.
Every booking now gets its invite and reminders
Booking a session now always asks for an email address, because the calendar invite and the reminders are sent there. A phone number is optional. Mentors' session emails also always reach the mentor's own inbox.
The Ambedkar Hub, redesigned
The hub opens with Babasaheb's portrait and a quote of the day. A reading path suggests where to begin, Continue reading takes you back to where you stopped, and the library has clearer filters. Searching his writings now shows the exact line that matched, in all ten languages.
Filing a case, one question at a time
Reporting caste discrimination now asks one question per screen, saves your draft as you go and brings it back if you leave. The record page has a new look with search, the Constitution and Babasaheb's words. You can delete a case you filed, and Express anger is back.
Tell your mentor what you need, before the call
When you book a session, you now pick the topics that apply and write a few lines in your own words. Your mentor reads this before the call and comes prepared. A short list of dos and don'ts sits beside it, and every session email links straight to your booking.
Now in Malayalam, Gujarati and Urdu
Unify the Lit now reads in ten languages. Urdu reads right to left, so the layout follows it. Pick your language from the globe in the header and the site will remember it.
Replies and reactions reach you
When someone comments on your post on the Bhim Board, you hear about it, and so does everyone else already in that conversation, so a thread stays a conversation instead of ending with whoever spoke last. Likes on your post or your comment reach you alone. Opening a reply notification now takes you to that exact comment and marks it for a moment, rather than dropping you at the top of the post to search. You can also react to a comment now, not only to a post. Notifications you would rather not get can still be switched off by category.
Reporting that goes somewhere
You can report a post or a comment on the Bhim Board and say why: casteist abuse, harassment, threats, and a few others, with room to explain in your own words. Casteist abuse is the first option on the list, because on this board it is the most likely reason anyone reaches for that button. Your name is never shown to the person you report. Content reported by enough different people is taken off the board while it is looked at, and its author is told it is under review rather than left wondering. The threshold is deliberately high: a handful of people who dislike an account of what someone lived through should not be able to remove it.
Unsubscribe now works
The unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails was not clickable, and the control your mail app shows next to the sender was missing. Both work now. One tap takes you off our mailing list, and we honour it immediately. Emails you actually need, like a booking confirmation, are not affected.
Clearer mentor profiles and booking
Mentor profiles now say plainly that mentors give their time as volunteers, so you know what you are asking for and what it costs, which is nothing. The booking flow has been tidied up too: the panels and dialogs open and close the way you would expect, on a phone as well as a laptop.
The Bhim Board, rebuilt
The board has a new look and a few things it could not do before. You can host an event, with a date, a place and a joining link, and events now have their own view instead of getting lost in the feed. Filters let you narrow the board to events, your own posts, the ones you saved, or posts linking to Dalit Stories, Babasaheb's Hub, mentors, cases or the assessments. The feed loads as you scroll rather than all at once, the composer stays open while you write, and new posts appear at the top where they belong.
Session emails, redesigned
Every email about a mentoring session has been rewritten and redesigned: the confirmation when you book, the reminder before it starts, and the notices when a session is moved or cancelled. The date, the time and the joining link are now where you expect them, so you are not hunting through a message to find out when to turn up.
Now in seven languages: Bengali and Kannada join
Every page, every question and every prompt is now available in Bengali and Kannada, alongside English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu. Bengali matters here: West Bengal has the second-largest Scheduled Caste population in the country, and until today none of this was readable in it. Pick your language from the globe in the header; the choice stays with you.
August 2026
Notifications are here
A bell in the header now keeps you up to date - session updates, mentor application progress and announcements, all in one place. You choose what reaches you from Settings, and nothing about your own submissions can be switched off by accident.
Session confirmations and reminders by email
Book a session and both you and your mentor receive an email with the joining link, followed by a reminder half an hour before it starts. Cancellations and time changes now reach both sides as well, so nobody is left waiting on a call that has moved.
A simpler way for mentors to manage their time
Mentors can now set their whole week from one screen, block days off by tapping them on a calendar, and pause bookings when life gets busy — without losing their hours. Mentor applications can also be edited or withdrawn at any time.
The site loads lighter
We removed a large amount of data that was being loaded on every page whether it was needed or not. Pages now open noticeably faster, especially on slower connections.
Enhanced Calendar Sync & User Details in Bookings
Mentorship session bookings and reschedules now automatically include complete client contact details (Name, Email, Phone) and essential terms, conditions, and consent links directly inside the Google Calendar event description.

The Caste Ledger: Measuring Your Unearned Advantage and Imposed Deficit
A structural calculator that reveals the average starting balance of a household relative to the national mean. By inputting your group and demographics, this tool reads the compounding effects of caste back to you, making the unearned surplus handed up or the systemic deficit pressed down, measurable and visible.
