In April 2002, Siddharth Varadarajan wrote in The Times of India about Geetaben, a Hindu woman who had fallen in love with and married a Muslim man during the Gujarat genocide.

When a Sangh Parivar mob came for her husband, she stood her ground and resisted them long enough for him to escape. They dragged her out, stripped her, brutalised her and killed her in broad daylight. Varadarajan described the bloodied wounds on her body and the manner in which she was left on the street.

Her transgression was not merely that she had loved a Muslim man. It was that she had exercised the most dangerous freedom a woman can claim: the freedom to choose whom she loves, whom she marries, and what becomes of her life. In Varadarajan's words, it was the “cardinal sin”.

Her body was turned into a spectacle of punishment, a warning carved into flesh for every Hindu woman who dared to cross the communal boundaries drawn around her desire.

It is always women's bodies that are policed, violated, disciplined and displayed.

Always.

Whom, exactly, are you calling daughters?

Archives | The type of sexual crimes the wrestlers are protesting—the lingering hand on the stomach, the brush against the breast, the sniggering and claiming innocence when women complain—these prime the ground for more gruesome sexual violence. There is a tight sequence of events, from eve teasing and harassment to acceptance of violent language to actual violence against women. Rape is not simply a monolithic crime or word. There are several types of rapists: the jilted lovers; the acquaintances, who are friends and uncles; the powerful, who are bosses or fathers using rape as tool of power; and, lastly, those with religious sanction, the ones from the majority community, who use rape as a weapon against Dalit or Muslim women.

Everyone should watch this movie. It is not only about 1947 or Punjab, it is also about what is happening today, in Gaza, Lebanon and many other places. Though I am from a Partition family, I kept thinking about the violence happening now, in our times. A different class!

Archives, cemeteries, family photographs & libraries: Israeli violence does not only target Palestinian lives but also the material record of the Palestinian people’s existence.This is not ‘collateral damage’: it is aimed to make forgetting look like fact.

[Dr.B.Karthik Navayan @Navayan]

Privilege becomes invisible when it is treated as the default. Marginalisation is what remains once that default is locked in as “normal.”

The more useful move for intellectuals, academics and journalists who come from dominant caste backgrounds is therefore not to keep producing knowledge about marginalised communities, but to turn the analytical lens onto the structures, cultures, and everyday practices of privilege itself—examining how dominance is maintained, naturalised, and reproduced.

In short: stop explaining the margins and start explaining the centre.

They are not friggin "our daughters". They are free citizens of this country. And that's your only relationship with them as PM. Answer for your governance failures, and not with this Babadom nonsense about fake morality.

[Economic & Political Weekly @epw_in]

Despite 50% reservation for women in Panchayati Raj Institutions across many states, real power often rests with male relatives. To move beyond tokenism, deeper structural support is needed to empower women leaders and dismantle proxy politics.
