Sonam Raghuvanshi from Indore, accused of murdering her husband Raja Raghuvanshi, couldn’t marry the man of her choice–seemingly because her lover Raj was from the Kushwaha community.
I lost my mother on 15 January. Her notebooks revealed to me the restless often tortured quest that Indian women embarked on to find voice, visibility and equality.
Wealthy countries in the West and Asia aren’t producing enough new people but are retaining existing ones longer. The question is, will this become a woman’s burden?
Mid-1900s' women artists were often exceptional presences in artist collectives with mostly male members - providing counterpoints to prevalent narratives.

Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Does –all that what is written by Amana here–give license to Sonam to murder an innocent,gentleman, who was not at all responsible for her problems in this respect?
Do not give it colour of feminism, coersion. etc. It is simly a case of extreme fiendishness,
For them thinking of murdering someone did not mean anything serious; First they planned to kill any woman resembling Sonam. Then they made FOUR attempts on life of Raja.
Sonam and her accomplices must be condemned unconditionally.
Supporting such persons even harms the feminism cause
Your defence is quite painful & inhuman .
Wrong facts, wrong research. They are both from same caste, only clans are different. They are from different class. Just proved how our media makes news of nonsense.
A bit disappointed with the tone of this article, we are talking about adults here, not kids. If she was forced into a marriage, what was stopping her from talking to the groom and telling him the truth? Or if she truly loved Raj, both of them could have eloped? Or talked it out like adults? Or even make a huge scene in the wedding and stop it?
This is the most ridiculous argument I have heard. Somehow this columnist parries away the blame for murdering her husband (which from all available evidence rests squarely in the shoulders of the bride) to her parents! As if the cold blooded murder is justified by the coercion that the bride supposedly had to go through. Would she have the same opinion of the groom, hypothetically forced into a marriage murdered the girl? Absolute garbage of an opinion.
Dear Saikat, it is not only disappointing, article, it is cruel to humanity.
Sonam and her accomplices first think of murdering any (innocent) woman resembling Sonam, and then passing it as murder of sonam. Then they make FOUR attempts on innocent Raja’s life.
It is extreme case of fiendishnes, and Amana gives it colour of feminism. Such articles even harm the cause of feminism.
Thanks for raising this issue, in fact this seems to be the root cause of this murder. The girl wanted to have free choice, but her wish was suppressed due to family and caste pressure and was forced to marry against her wishes. She should have fought against her family, or better she should have told the groom before marriage. She made the mistake of murdering an innocent person who placed trust in her. The real culprits are her parents and society in general.
