Young woman denies ‘love jihad' allegations, clarifies marriage was by choice
Kalaburagi: In a turning point to the case of the disappearance of a young woman from Gobbur village in Afazalpur taluk in Kalaburagi district, under the jurisdiction of the University police station, the young woman herself clarified her situation on social media through a video. Her parents and Hindu activists had alleged before some mediapersons that she was being subjected to ' Love Jihad '. Upon learning about these allegations, the young woman addressed them in her video. "The allegation of 'Love Jihad' is false," the young woman said. "I did not go missing. I married the boy I love, of my own free will. My husband's family and his friends are being harassed because I was presumed missing. They have nothing to do with this. Please don't bother them," she urged. "Our family knew that we both loved each other. So they stopped me from going to college. After that, my family used to torture me every day. I got married because I wanted to be with a boy who loved me. Hindutva organisations are spreading false news that it is Love Jihad. They are spoiling our family's reputation. We are fine. If we are facing any problem, it is because of Hindutva organisations," she said in the video. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

‘Enactment of law for domestic violence is need of hour'
'Civil society organisations should work for the enactment of a law pertaining exclusively to domestic violence and its punishments,' said A.S. Kumari, Chairperson, Tamil Nadu State Commission for Women. Speaking at the event 'Dalit women speak,' organised by Evidence, a non-governmental organisation, here on Saturday, she said that in the absence of a law, violence against women, especially in houses, committed by men go unnoticed. The law should ensure that the perpetrators be punished based on the severity of the offence they commit, she noted. She advised young women not to be dependent on men but stand on their own by working hard and earning money, Ms. Kumari said. 'Despite several efforts, violence against women seems to be increasing. I will receive at least four to five calls from women college students every day,' she added. Though violence against women has increased, the calls for help suggested that the awareness had increased. The equal participation of women in local administration, granted by the Indian Constitution, should be utilised properly by not letting men, be it husband, son or relative, interfere in the administration, Ms. Kumari stated. The true empowerment comes when women wielding the power could decide on their own and administer their position, she noted. In a separate session, Gowsalya of Shankar Social Justice Foundation and a victim of the caste killing said that as a woman survivor of a horrific incident, she struggled to move on from that. Speaking about the recent caste killing of a youth in Tirunelveli, she said that the girl whose brother was the accused could find it hard to manage the pressure from the surroundings and family. 'The society will try hard to kill the relationship the girl was in and she could be manipulated and it will take a lot to handle it,' she added. To a question on how she moved on from the loss of her partner and how she managed the situation, Ms. Gowsalya noted that she did not fall for the emotionally overwhelming situation, instead, she was politicised through her surroundings. 'The politicisation helped me keep away from the political pressure that surrounded me. If not for the political knowledge, I might have handled the situation emotionally,' she added. Arulmozhi, whose Dalit husband was killed by caste Hindu members for promoting inter-caste marriage and voicing out against injustices, said that women, whatever they faced, should be ready to come out and voice out against similar offences against women. 'Until you are vocal about the problems you could not survive in society. I was determined after my husband's murder that I should live in the same village amidst the offenders who were responsible for the murder of my husband,' she added. Kathir, founder of Evidence, said that women, though stronger in several aspects, were made victims in the patriarchal society. Dalit women, by overcoming the hardships, refuse to get succumbed to the violence and the patriarchal mindset, he added. The trait, observed mostly in Dalit women, makes them outpower men and even the society in fighting their odds and winning over their ambitions, Mr. Kathir stated.

‘Ka for Kaba, Ma for Masjid': MP convent school under fire over alphabet charts
A convent school in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen found itself at the centre of a raging controversy after an alphabet chart containing Islamic references was allegedly distributed to children. The material, said to resemble charts used in madrasas, was flagged by parents.(Representational Image) The flashpoint? Hindi alphabet charts reportedly handed out by the principal of Baby Convent School, IA Qureshi, which listed religious terms like 'Ka' for Kaba, 'Ma' for Masjid, and 'Na' for Namaz. According to PTI, the incident triggered protests and a formal inquiry by the education department, officials said on Saturday. Members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad staged a protest on Friday and gheraoed Qureshi after the incident. The material, said to resemble charts used in madrasas, was flagged by parents and quickly drew the attention of local Hindu groups. Police were called to the scene to prevent escalation. Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Pratibha Sharma said police personnel controlled the situation. "The matter is related to the education department and referred to the district education officer (DEO)," Sharma said. DEO DD Rajak confirmed that an inquiry is underway. "As per the Education department's guidelines, study material containing religious symbols of any particular faith cannot be taught in schools," he added. School principal's stance In her defence, Principal Qureshi admitted the mistake but insisted it was unintentional. Principal Qureshi admitted her "inadvertent" mistake, stating that one or two such books with mixed Urdu-Hindi multiplication tables had reached students. She claimed the charts of alphabets were sourced from Bhopal and, due to the seller's error, three to four such items, generally used in madrasas, were included. Meanwhile, in another separate incident, two teachers at a madrassa in this Uttar Pradesh district have been booked for allegedly assaulting and threatening a 12-year-old student for two consecutive days, police said on Friday. According to the police, the boy, who hails from Jalhoopur village in Varanasi's Chaubepur area, was staying in the hostel of Madrassa Imdadul Uloom in Khamaria along with his elder brother for studies. On August 5, a theft reportedly took place inside the madrassa. Following the incident, the boy's father alleged that on August 6, teacher Numan Saeed beat his son with a stick, and on August 7, another teacher, Rizwanuddin, assaulted him in a similar manner, accusing him in connection with the theft. The repeated beatings left the boy's back, arms, and legs badly bruised and discoloured. He was also threatened, police said.
