From the 2017 Walayar case to Coimbatore today: Experts point out a disturbing pattern where public outcry and law enforcement deflect systemic failures by putting a grieving mother’s character on trial. @meghamukundan_ & @HarithaManav write

When @HarithaManav & I visited Coimbatore’s Bharatipuram village, public sentiment against mother was as high it was as against the accused.

At the bottom what gets overshadowed? The brutality of the crime itself.

[Megha Mukundan @meghamukundan_]

Soon after days a 10 year old was raped & murdered, the blame shifts to her mother. This even escalated online debates as a video went viral, questioning her.

A viral video accusing a grieving mother has derailed the conversation around the Coimbatore POCSO case, turning local anger toward her more than the accused men.

For seven Dalit families, descendants of a bonded slave labourer, it is unimaginable to leave the place they were born and raised in, where their ancestors are buried, and where their families have been living for more than a 100 years. @HarithaManav https://t.co/fMq7rnAwjh

She was a viral face from the Kumbh. Her wedding became a symbol of secularism for some, of ‘love jihad’ for others. Now two states are fighting over her age and what it means.

Karnataka has rolled back the hijab ban and says students can now wear “limited traditional symbols” in classrooms.
It’s an important step — but it comes after years of pain, protests and lost education for hundreds of young Muslim girls.
TNM was on the ground through it all.
