The Telangana Police, under a Congress state government, have closed the Rohith Vemula case.
In Telangana, Rohith’s mother, Radhika, joined the Bharat Jodo Yatra. The organisers posted pictures of Rahul Gandhi hugging Radhika Vemula.
However, besides this photo-op, Gandhi had

Was the mother a serial complaint filer or just a desperate mom who wanted her daughter's attacker punished?

Nobody is making this demand. And in any case, the length or type of clothing has nothing whatsoever to do with what students learn in class. Can the girls please be allowed to study without people obsessing over their clothes?

I think it is a casteist slur to refer to people who supposedly convert to Christianity for a bag of rice. Mostly as a casteist slur for Dalit Christians.

I remember when I was covering a story on Akshay Patra, a GoK committee said that no pvt party can use the govts name to raise money for sth. AK used to conveniently not mention they had a govt contract to provide mid-day meals in govt schools, and went around collecting money

I don't know why people never talk about "management quota". Pay money, get seat. Marks no bar. If any of the quotas need to go, it's that one.

Police is a state subject, but far as I know, FIR data cannot be segregated caste wise. There's no way to know the caste of complainant unless one manually goes thru every single FIR and looks thru names. And accessing FIRs isn't like walking thru a library.
Politicians go on about political conspiracies etc, but at the heart of this "political" storm are the women whom Prajwal Revanna allegedly abused and filmed. They've nothing to say to the women. So Karnataka's civil society wrote to the women.

Oh and they'd have to get FIRs from every single damn police station in UP. FIRs in NRCB data are categorised by rule of principle offence, means an FIR is slotted by the offence which carries max punishment. Other ways include FIRs reg under certain laws..
How do we report on sexual violence? Can we call the accused "sex crazed"? What questions should we not ask survivors?

Also it invisibilises the fact that most women work - work to cook, clean the house, clean clothes, wash utensils, raise kids, look after the family, and so many other little mental and emotional tasks. Makes me wonder how much more work do they need to do..

It tragic that Daneshwari was killed. So many Dalit women, women of other castes are killed with impunity. The Sanghi brigade will never try to "emancipate" them from violence. But a piece of cloth on a Muslim woman's head? Now that's worse than murder, right?
