Maharashtra Panel to Monitor Interfaith Couples Is Another Majoritarian Tool for Control

The state is expected to act as a counterforce to patriarchal norms, providing a platform for women to exercise their rights. But we see the state itself become a force of authority in matters concerning a woman's agency.

Why Maharashtra Govt Move To Track Interfaith Marriages Is Unconstitutional & Further Endangers Women

A recent Maharashtra government move to track interfaith marriages is meant to either stop ‘love jihad’ or reconcile women ‘estranged’ from their families. Whichever of these objectives the government hopes to achieve, it is illegal and unconstitutional, denying women the right to liberty and equality; exposes them to further risks; and sends a clear message—if you marry outside your faith, the State will be watching.

India’s Demotion To Electoral Autocracy Is Fair, Repeated Dismissal Of International Surveys Unhelpful, Global Ranking Expert Explains

Year after year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has criticised and challenged international rankings on democracy, press freedom and civil liberties, where India has been falling since the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in 2014. The latest pushback, an editorial intervention by two government officials, questioned the methodology and motives of V Dem, Freedom House and the Economist Intelligence Unit. In this interview, Staffan Lindberg, director of the Sweden-based V Dem, explains why the allegations are untrue.
