Was walking down home when four people in two bikes passed me by. Four young boys were on them, they turned back, called out to me. Asked me if I'm safe and took me 5 mins to convince them that I am before they left.

In this dry village, from where Pakistan is just a few hundred mtrs away, the women have decided to stop having babies, because babies need water, and there is none. Read about Akeli, where no party has campaigned and no candidate has pleaded for votes.

Chief ministers horse trading openly. Party presidents and convicted scamsters helping the party garner MLAs. This is a real revelation for the average BJP voter. From accusing Congress of corruption in 2014 to embracing it fully in 2018, BJP has come full circle.

This is how the system fails a woman. Raped, assaulted, lost her family and friends. Stabbed. And then burnt. Yet she pursued the case doggedly. If that is not grit in the face of apathy, I don't know what is. This is shameful, despairing and downright infuriating.

I grew up in Guwahati, and never since the NDFB attack in 2008 which left over 80 people dead, have I seen people so agitated and hit the streets. The agitation then was one of sad resignation; today it is boiling anger.
If women form 50% of the electorate, and if representation in the Parliament is on the basis of population, then why don't we have enough women in the Lok Sabha? The Women's Reservation Bill should no longer be a token cause. Pass the Bill.

Daryaganj police allowed someone in. 32 adults detained, minors (names and numbers not disclosed) will be released to parents only. In the video the person is reading our names of those detained.
It's great you all are coming out in support of the women who are speaking out, coz twitter. But back in the day, when Tarun Tejpal forced himself,there were a lot of you who took his side. Several of you accomplished women editors who we look up to. We haven't forgotten.
