#SelfieWithDaughter: 10 years of rural click that appealed to global audience
On June 9, 2015, the world witnessed the birth of the now-iconic hashtag #SelfieWithDaughter. What started as a local initiative in Bibipur village of Jind district of Haryana, soon managed to capture global attention. Aiming to promote gender equality, the campaign raises awareness about ills, including female foeticide. Now, 10 years later, more than 2 lakh social media posts and thousands of news articles now carry a phrase that didn't exist in headlines before 2015. The movement reshaped conversations on gender -- both online and offline, and resonated so strongly that Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised it in his Mann Ki Baat radio address in July 2015. PM Modi applauded Sunil Jaglan, a young sarpanch and the spirit behind #SelfieWithDaughter. During a conversation with HT, Jaglan said that #SelfieWithDaughter is no longer a campaign, but a social movement and a commitment by society. 'So far, we have taken some bold steps as a foundation for the campaign. We introduced 'Lado Panchayat'. The traditional khap panchayats were male-only councils, and for the first time, women were invited to the table, and the council came together to publicly condemn sex-selective abortion — a powerful shift in a deeply patriarchal setting. We also brought up 'women's happiness charts' to monitor the well-being of females in homes, and created 'Balika Sabha' (girls' assemblies) to give young girls a platform to speak, share and be heard,' he said. Under Sunil as sarpanch, a resolution was also passed to ban the use of abusive language against women that was known as 'Gali band ghar'. 'The campaign gained strong community support and had a significant positive impact — for the first time, such incidents were openly discussed in the gram sabha, and those who used abusive language were held accountable. We have touched every perspective,' he added. Jaglan said that families have now started celebrating their daughters, sharing positive stories and images that brought a sense of unity and optimism in a time of crisis. 'Now people are taking this as a commitment and investing in health, education and financial independence of their daughters. Now, people have started making 'period chart' for the women of their families. So far, two lakh plates with daughter's name have been put outside homes. This is the real result and future of #SelfieWithDaughter,' he said. Despite initiatives like #SelfieWithDaughter and 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' -- that also started from Haryana a decade ago -- the sex ratio at birth still remains a challenge in the state. The sex ratio at birth (SRB) is a critical indicator of gender equality. According to the figures from the Civil Registration System (CRS) up to December 2024, Haryana recorded its lowest sex ratio at birth in eight years in 2024 and registered a six-point drop from figures a year ago. The SRB dipped to 910 female births per 1,000 male births in 2024, a six-points drop from 916 in 2023 and the lowest after 2016, when it stood at 900. Government interventions have been undertaken largely—crackdowns on illegal sex determination clinics, strict enforcement of the PCPNDT Act, authorities have this year seized about 8,800 MTP kits and registered over 50 FIRs, including at least 18 against online sellers of the kits, but a lot still needs to be done. Vijender Singh, an assistant professor with the department of sociology, Kurukshetra University, believes that there has been a lot of awareness regarding equality in the society, but what lacks is enough incentivisation to classes other than lower strata. 'Government needs to expand its incentives in the middle and higher section of the society. These sections are aware with the issues and problems arising out of it, but shy away due to lack of incentives that are limited only to those below a certain income level,' he added.

Aaron Rodgers sparks Steelers fan meltdown as jersey-burning protest ignites controversy in Pittsburgh
Aaron Rodgers' arrival in Pittsburgh has ignited controversy (Imagn Images) Aaron Rodgers hasn't even thrown a pass in black and gold yet, but his arrival in Pittsburgh has already caused a firestorm—literally. Just days after the veteran quarterback officially signed a one-year, $10 million guaranteed deal with the Steelers, a passionate fan was caught on video torching a signed Minkah Fitzpatrick jersey in protest. Jersey burning draws backlash—and confusion The now-viral video, posted by @SteelCityReece, shows the fan erupting in fury over what he called the 'killing' of the team's future. 'I'll never be a Steelers fan again... Yinz pick up Aaron Rodgers—you keep killing us!' he shouted, referencing the team's controversial decisions to part ways with quarterback Justin Fields and wide receiver George Pickens. 'You let go of them for this? It's sad... today is my last day being a Steelers fan. ' While the fan's frustration over the team's direction isn't unique, his decision to target Fitzpatrick's jersey baffled many. The All-Pro safety had nothing to do with Rodgers' arrival and remains one of the most respected players on the roster. Steelers defensive leader Cam Heyward quickly jumped to Fitzpatrick's defense on social media, writing: 'First off, why Minkah's jersey? That's bonkers. Second, why burn it when people need clothes? Third, you'll regret it!' Heyward's response struck a chord, earning praise from fans and teammates alike.

A divided fanbase and a controversial new chapter At 41, Rodgers enters a Steelers locker room still reeling from recent roster upheavals. The release of Fields—now with Dallas—and the trade of Pickens to New England have left fans questioning the team's direction. For some, Rodgers represents one last shot at a playoff run. For others, he's a roadblock for younger talent like Kenny Pickett. Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw also criticized Rodgers' acquisition, adding fuel to the controversy. Still, Rodgers brings undeniable experience and a proven track record when healthy. Whether that translates into success in Pittsburgh remains to be seen.

For now, though, Rodgers' presence is doing exactly what he has done throughout his career—capturing attention and dividing opinion.
