If India were to reject democracy, all of humanity would experience a bitter setback.

The Prajwal case is yet another example of the moral bankruptcy of politicians and the abuse of their positions.

Parties need to prioritise genuine concerns and respect for women's welfare over political gains and superficial gestures.

Such simplistic proposals appeal to populist sentiments without addressing the root causes of inequality.
