@evek181818 One of my friends died by suicide and his father said at his funeral “this pain we feel right now is the pain he woke up with every day.” I thought that was a beautiful and compassionate way of looking at it.
NIA special court in Bengaluru, India, sentenced a Maharashtra man to seven years in prison in a TTP-linked radicalisation and recruitment case, saying he was “radicalised through Pakistani and Afghan contacts” during his stay in Saudi Arabia between 2019 and 2022.
India’s NIA said the accused, Hamraz Worshid Shaikh, later conspired with another individual to recruit youth by propagating Taliban and TTP ideology and planned to join TTP in Afghanistan “to wage jihad and war against India.”

The fact that MRAs can instantly name one male victim like Atul Subhash, while thousands of raped, abused, burned, trafficked and murdered women remain unnamed, faceless and forgotten, tells you everything about the scale of violence women live with daily in India.
One case becomes a movement.
Millions become background noise.
And then people ask why women are angry.
Kurali, Punjab – In a shocking incident, a four-and-a-half-year-old girl was allegedly abducted in broad daylight from Kurali town in Punjab’s Mohali district, with the entire episode captured on CCTV cameras. The disturbing footage shows the child being forcibly taken and bundled into a car in front of her grandparents. When the elderly couple tried to stop the vehicle and stood in front of it, the driver allegedly attempted to run them over before speeding away with the girl.
I'm sorry, but people have been making excuses for selling their daughters into sexual slavery throughout history, and all of them make the same excuses, but it does not change the fact that they did it because they simply do not value their daughters properly.
How do I know? Note that they always consign their daughters to this before their sons or themselves. Note that their entire society normalizes it. Note that even Western outlets covering this find the fathers' "impossible choices" sympathetic and more worthy of coverage than what his daughter must think, being raped on a daily basis and knowing that her very own flesh and blood are responsible for dooming her to that fate. Note that the news stories do not ask why it is fathers making this decision, and not the mothers.
From ancient China to modern Afghanistan, feeding yourself off the underage sexual exploitation of your own daughters is morally reprehensible, and I would simply rather die myself than ever consign any child to such suffering. The fact that these fathers do not feel the same when it comes to their own daughters is proof of their monstrosity, and the moral depravity of the BBC for asking us to identify with them rather than their daughters.
