Femina took out a campaign sometime back on domestic violence, with the hashtag #ActAgainstAbuse. Bollywood star Taapsee Pannu who was a part of Femina’s campaign, said, “It [domestic abuse] is considered to be a personal matter. Women are given to feel that issues like these should be kept between the couple and the family. If a woman is not able to put an end to it by herself, then she needs to speak up, seek out help and support from outside. Otherwise it is going to kill her – mentally and physically.”

Note from the Editor of Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective:
The world is awash in nationalism and India, the world's largest democracy, is no exception. Sometimes pundits have called this politics "populist," others have called it racially or ethnically driven. In India, as historian Archana Venkatesh explains, the roots of nationalists’ politics are religious, and those roots run deep. This month she explains the long history of the Hindu nationalism we see triumphant in Indian politics today.
In April and May 2019, the world’s largest democracy held elections. More than 540 million voters, out of 900 million registered, cast ballots. The global press portrayed the election as a contest between the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress, though India is a multi-party parliamentary democracy. The BJP won an overwhelming majority and returned to power in Parliament.

Everybody knows that the elected party governing India wants to decimate all opposition parties and be the only party to ‘Rule’ India.
