In India, two murders of live-in partners come to light & live-in relationships are termed 'dangerous.' 20 women die daily for dowry-related harassment but marriage remains as sanctimonious as ever.
What a golden chance to glorify patriarchal control over a woman's agency.
It is very telling if your response to 10 people being murdered by an admitted white supremacist [in a country where indigenous people were slaughtered, African/Black people enslaved, and racism and racist propaganda persist] is “What about Black on Black crime?”

The legal system holds onto traditions more than most

Having spent a lot of time reading Netaji and about Netaji. The current bid to misappropriate him feels rather desperate. He was a complex man with a complicated legacy. Can’t hologram it away.
Amusing to see the Luteyns wannabe chatterati dig into WWII history. Even 'Babylon Berlin' is a better history lesson than these hacks. Plus its a lot more entertaining and fabulous!
