Women in politics face more personal, sexualised attacks than men, a recent analysis shows
August 21, 2026 (Conversation) Online spaces, and social media in particular, are forums for vigorous political debate. They provide a space for members of the public to express political opinions, organise, and sometimes even interact directly with politicians. While they clearly have democratising potential, these platforms have also become fertile ground for hate speech, toxic interactions and online violence. By analysing over 3.2 million responses on X (formerly Twitter) to 88 candidates for the 2024 European Parliament elections, our team at the European Commissions Joint Research Centre have found significant differences in how women and men in politics get treated

Fresh arson, petrol bomb attacks reported in Meghalaya, no injuries
Fresh incidents of arson and petrol bomb attacks on government properties were reported across Meghalaya in the past 24 hours as violence that erupted during a students' bike rally two days ago in Shillong spread to other parts of the state, while a blockade in Assam disrupted inter-state vehicular movement, officials said on Friday. A petrol bomb was hurled at a police outpost in Shillong, while three government vehicles and a motorcycle were set ablaze in Ri-Bhoi and another petrol bomb was lobbed at a government office in South West Khasi Hills, they said. No injuries were reported in any of the incidents, though the attacks have added to tensions in the state following Wednesday's violence, in which at least 31 vehicles, mostly Assam-registered vehicles, were damaged, and several people assaulted.

J&Ks stock market investor base crosses 14 lakh, grows 19.3% in a year
Jammu and Kashmirs registered investor base in the stock market has crossed the 14-lakh mark, with the number of registered clients reaching 14,12,378 as of August 20, 2026, recording a year-on-year growth of 19.31 per cent, according to official BSE data accessed by Greater Kashmir . The figures show that J&K added 2,28,554 registered clients, or roughly 2.29 lakh investors, during the past year. This represents a substantially faster expansion than the overall growth in the countrys registered investor base, which stood at 15.80 per cent during the same period. The BSE data provides a snapshot of the changing geography of stock-market participation in India, with the countrys total registered investor base now standing at 26,03,00,179, or approximately 26.03 crore clients. J&Ks 14.12 lakh registered clients account for around 0.54 per cent of the countrys total registered investor base. While the Union Territory remains a relatively small market in terms of absolute investor numbers, the pace at which its investor base is expanding has been considerably stronger than several of the countrys largest States. The increase has also been consistent across different time periods. During the latest month, J&K added 19,478 clients, equivalent to around 19,500 new registered investors, pushing its monthly growth rate to 1.40 per cent. Over the previous three months, the number of registered clients increased by 52,618, or about 52,600 investors, representing a quarterly growth of 3.87 per cent. The national investor base, by comparison, increased by around 30.92 lakh during the latest month. Over the previous quarter, the country added approximately 85.16 lakh. Over the previous year, the national registered investor base increased by around 3.55 crore investors, taking the total to more than 26 crore. The comparison shows that J&Ks investor base is growing at a faster rate than the national average, although the absolute numbers remain much smaller. Maharashtra continues to have the largest registered investor base in the country by a considerable margin. The State has approximately 4.42 crore investors. This means that nearly one out of every six registered clients in the BSE database is registered in Maharashtra. Uttar Pradesh occupies the second position with 3,06,10,880 clients, or around 3.06 crore. Gujarat follows with 2,29,70,136, equivalent to about 2.30 crore registered clients. Rajasthan has 1,56,49,037, or around 1.56 crore, while West Bengal has 1,52,56,657, or about 1.53 crore. Karnataka has 1,39,43,659 registered clients, translating into roughly 1.39 crore, while Madhya Pradesh has 1,35,11,046, or around 1.35 crore. Tamil Nadu has 1,31,27,709, or approximately 1.31 crore registered investors. The other major States also have sizeable investor bases. Haryana has 85,72,167 registered clients, equivalent to around 85.7 lakh. Telangana has 80,08,260, or about 80.1 lakh. Punjab has 65,65,556, or approximately 65.7 lakh, while Odisha has 59,30,947, or about 59.3 lakh. Kerala has 59,17,495 registered clients, translating into around 59.2 lakh, while Assam has 53,02,132, or about 53 lakh. Jharkhand has 46,39,195, equivalent to approximately 46.4 lakh. Andhra Pradesh has crossed the one-crore mark, with 1,04,00,527 registered clients, while Bihar has 1,16,04,608, or around 1.16 crore. Delhi has 1,10,14,984, equivalent to approximately 1.10 crore registered clients. Against this national landscape, J&Ks 14.12 lakh investor base is larger than that of several smaller States and Union Territories but remains far below the investor populations of the countrys principal financial and industrial centres. For instance, Himachal Pradesh has around 15.58 lakh registered clients, only marginally above J&K. J&K has more registered clients than Manipur, which has around 2.74 lakh, Meghalaya with 1.65 lakh, Arunachal Pradesh with 1.22 lakh, Nagaland with 1.28 lakh, Sikkim with 84,221, Mizoram with 59,779, Goa with 4.99 lakh and Tripura with 4.28 lakh. Among the Union Territories, Ladakh has 5,213 registered clients, or just over 5,000, but has recorded one of the fastest rates of growth in the country. Its investor base increased by 44.44 per cent over the previous year. This is the highest annual growth rate visible in the BSE table. Mizoram recorded annual growth of 33.18 per cent, while Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh recorded 28.01 per cent and 27.33 per cent, respectively. Lakshadweep, with just over 5,000 registered clients, recorded growth of 27.87 per cent. Among larger States, J&Ks 19.31 per cent annual growth puts it in a relatively strong position. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana each recorded 19.59 per cent growth, while Tamil Nadu recorded 19.46 per cent growth. Uttar Pradesh recorded 19.08 per cent. J&Ks growth was considerably higher than Maharashtras 11.39 per cent, Gujarats 13.13 per cent, Haryanas 14.42 per cent, Punjabs 14.96 per cent, Rajasthans 15.71 per cent, Karnatakas 16.51 per cent and Keralas 16.95 per cent. The figures also indicate that the expansion in J&K has been relatively steady rather than being confined to a single period. Its monthly increase of 1.40 per cent was higher than the national monthly growth of 1.20 per cent, while its quarterly increase of 3.87 per cent was also above the national growth rate of 3.38 per cent. In absolute terms, however, the difference between the largest and smallest investor markets remains enormous. Maharashtras 4.42 crore registered clients are more than 31 times J&Ks 14.12 lakh. Uttar Pradeshs 3.06 crore investor base is more than 21 times that of J&K, while Gujarats 2.30 crore is more than 16 times larger. The national figures also underline the rapid broadening of participation in the equity market. The BSE database now contains more than 26 crore registered clients, with the number having increased by around 3.55 crore in just one year. J&Ks addition of around 2.29 lakh registered clients during the same period is small when measured against the national increase, but significant for the Union Territorys own investor base. In percentage terms, the addition represents nearly one-fifth growth in a single year.
Mridula Saw the Horrors of Partition
The Government of India decided in 2021 to observe 14 August every year as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day to commemorate the pain and suffering endured by the people during the Partition of India in 1947. Even by the most conservative estimates, two hundred thousand people were killed, while seventy-five thousand women were abducted and raped. India put the number of abducted women at 33,000 Hindu and Sikh women, while Pakistan estimated the number of abducted Muslim women at 50,000. Around twelve million people crossed the borders in both directions. Pertinently, some scholars have described Partition as the dark side of independence. Mridula Sarabhai, a freedom fighter and fiercely independent minded was an eyewitness to the horrors of Partition. General Thimaya described her as the bravest man in Indian army. She worked tirelessly for the recovery of abducted women, refusing to simply follow any official line and, on several occasions, even differing with Mahatma Gandhi whose own life was cut short by an act of violence. Partition Plan Feminist historiography has brought to the fore the ways in which women were tortured and killed during Partition. Urvashi Butalia, in her book The Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of India, raises an important question about the Partition of India. She argues that there is no institutional memory of Partition: the state has not seen fit to construct memorials or mark particular places, as has been done in the case of Holocaust memorials or memorials commemorating the Vietnam War. The explanation for this lapse, she believes, is not difficult to find. She asks how Partition could be memorialized by the state without the state recognizing its own complicity. Lord Mountbatten presided over a meeting to discuss the Boundary Award on 16 August 1947. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Congress and the Muslim League. The decision of Sir Cyril Radcliffe, who chaired the three boundary commissions for Punjab, Bengal, and the Sylhet district of Assam, was made public only on 17 August 1947, when the three awards were gazetted. This was three days after Pakistan had celebrated its independence and two days after India had celebrated hers. Although Radcliffe had very little time at his disposal, the top leadersNehru, Jinnah, and Patelwanted the boundary line to be drawn before or on 15 August. In the prevailing situation, everyone suffered, but women were among the worst sufferers. Recovery of Abducted Women The circumstances surrounding the abduction of women varied. Some were separated from their families while fleeing or became lost and were subsequently picked up. Some were left behind as hostages to ensure the safe passage of their families. Others were initially given protection but were later incorporated into the families of their abductors. Aparna Basu, in her book Mridula Sarabhai: Rebel with a Cause, writes that there were instances in which women jumped into wells and rivers to escape abduction and the loss of their chastity. In Thoa Khalsa, nearly ninety women jumped into a well, and the well became so full that no more women could enter it. In Hanoli, in Mianwali district of Punjab, hundreds of women jumped into wells to escape being molested. Fathers killed their daughters; women jumped into burning houses and carried packets of poison to swallow in case they were captured. The well-known author Anees Kidwai, in her book Azadi Ki Chhaon Mein (Under the Shade of Independence), relates how the good maal (goods) could be shared among the police and the army, while the second-rate stuff would go to everyone else. A large number of abducted women were sold several times. Gandhi referred to this in a post-prayer speech. He said that some hoodlums came forward to bring back the girls if they are paid Rs. 1,000 per girl. Has this thing now become a business? To rescue these helpless women, Mridula rushed to Punjab. Her task was to recover Muslim girls who had been abducted and kept in Hindu and Sikh families, as well as Hindu and Sikh girls who had been abducted and taken to Pakistan. She was convinced that this was humanitarian work of the utmost importance and devoted the next six years of her life entirely to it. She set about the work of recovering abducted women like a tigress with cubs, wrote Y. D. Gundevia, who later became the Foreign Secretary of India. According to Gundevia, Mridula had direct access to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistans Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan. She impressed upon both leaders the urgency of beginning the recovery work. An Inter-Dominion Conference was held in Lahore on 6 December 1947. It unanimously agreed that the two countries should take steps for the recovery and restoration of abducted women, with Mridula serving as the chief social worker. All abducted women were to be restored to their respective dominions, even against their wishes. There was considerable debate over whether women who declined to leave their abductors should be allowed to remain where they were. Eventually, the views of Mridula and Begum Liaquat Ali Khan prevailed, and it was decided that such women should be evacuated to the country where their relatives had migrated. This was a complex question because it was not always clear whether women refused to return because they were afraid to say so in front of their abductors or because they feared that their families would not accept them. A joint appeal to the people of India and Pakistan to restore all abducted women was issued by the representatives of the Inter-Dominion Conference. Prominent among the signatories were Ghazanfar Ali Khan, Iftikhar Hussain Khan of Mamdot, Begum Liaquat Ali Khan, Begum Shah Nawaz Khan, Begum Bashir Ahmed, Iftikharuddin, K. C. Neogy, Swaran Singh, Rameshwari Nehru, Mridula Sarabhai, and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay. Most of the abducted women were under 35 years of age and came from villages. After their recovery, the women were admitted to Recovered Womens Camps guarded by the police. Conditions within the camps were often appalling. When women from the Kurja camp arrived in Lahore, they looked like skeletons. Their hair and bodies were covered with ulcers and lice. Recovery and Restoration Act A bill for the recovery and restoration of abducted persons was introduced in Parliament by N. Gopalaswami Ayyangar and became an Act in December 1949. Clauses 1 and 2 of the Act emphasized that every effort should be made to recover and restore abducted women and children within the shortest possible time. The Act also stipulated that conversions of persons abducted after March 1947 would not be recognized and that such persons should be restored to their respective dominions.Mridula was the driving force behind these efforts. She explained how every possible technique was being used by abductors to defeat recovery efforts and argued that such legislation was necessary because it made the abduction of women and children a crime punishable by severe penalties. In early 1952, Mridula shifted her base to Jammu and Kashmir, where many relatives of recovered, Muslim women had migrated to Pakistan. She approached various departments of the Government of India and persuaded them to select a location in the ceasefire-line zone where recovered Muslim women could be taken to the border and reunited with their relatives from Pakistan, while Hindu and Sikh women could likewise be reunited with their families in India. Mridula succeeded in getting the Suchetgarh border opened for this humanitarian work. The recovery of abducted women and children, however, came to a grinding halt towards the end of 1953. According to Anees Kidwai, by 1954, approximately 17,000 women had been rescued from Pakistan and 20,000 from India. Many children born to abducted women were placed in orphanages. The German critical theorist Theodor W. Adorno famously declared that there could be no poetry after Auschwitz. Yet poets are among those best able to reach into the depths of human emotions and give expression to unimaginable suffering. Several years after Partition, when the first India-Pakistan mushaira (poetry gathering) was held in Karachi, the young poet Zehra Nigah came to the stage and, in a single couplet, summed up the picture of a shattered Nest: Aashiyana ki baat karte hoo, Kis zamane ki baat karte hoo?

APL 2026: Sibsankar Roy's 55 Guides Barak Legends To Six-wicket Win Over Tezpur Titans
Skipper Sibsankar Roy: Barak Legends secured a six-wicket win over Tezpur Titans in match number 39 of the Assam Premier League 2026 at the ACA Stadium, Guwahati on Thursday. A composed half-century from skipper Sibsankar Roy led the way as they chased down 120 with three overs to spare. Earlier, Abdul Ajij Kuraishi was the pick of the bowlers as he bagged figures of 3/18 to bundle out Tezpur Titans for 119. Batting first, Titans got off to a shaky start as they lost Dibash Hazarika and Wasim Akram Haque in the powerplay, with the former striking 21 off 18 balls before falling in the fifth over. Nihar Deka (19) and Roshan Topno (23) chipped in with useful contributions to keep the innings ticking along with a decent partnership. Danish Ahmed top-scored with a patient 31 off 28 balls, but found little support as the middle and lower order crumbled. Titans lost five wickets for just eight runs as Abdul ran riot, getting the better of Danish Ahmed, Abhinav Choudhury and skipper Ayushman Malakar in that span. Run-outs further compounded the collapse, with Dharani Rabha and Prachurya Kakati both dismissed without scoring. Sidhartha Sarmah remained unbeaten on 6 as Tezpur Titans were bowled out for 119 in 19.1 overs. In response, Legends suffered an early scare, losing three wickets for just eight runs inside the first two overs. Ayushman Malakar struck twice, removing Bishal Saha and Subham Mandal, while Wasim accounted for Shraban Kumar Khound, leaving Legends tottering at 8/3. However, skipper Sibsankar and Yasir Ali steadied the innings with a crucial stand, adding 96 runs for the fourth wicket to wrest control of the contest. Roy struck six fours in his unbeaten 55 off 39 balls, while Ali made a composed 43 off 48 deliveries before being stumped by Roshan Topno off Abhinav Choudhury. Abhishek Deb then finished things off alongside his captain, striking an unbeaten 10 off just 7 balls to seal a six-wicket win for Barak Legends in 17 overs. In response, Legends suffered an early scare, losing three wickets for just eight runs inside the first two overs. Ayushman Malakar struck twice, removing Bishal Saha and Subham Mandal, while Wasim accounted for Shraban Kumar Khound, leaving Legends tottering at 8/3.

Mumbai, Aug 20 (PTI) The rupee pared initial gains and settled for the day with gains of just 3 paise at 95.70 against the US dollar on Thursday, as the support from the weaker dollar index was negated by elevated crude oil prices.

New Delhi, Aug 20: The Union home ministry on Wednesday authorised district collectors in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, West Bengal, Assam and Tripura (except tribal areas), and Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh to grant naturalised citizenship to fit and proper applicants ordinarily residing in these regions.

The new rules apply to citizenship-seeking applicants ordinarily residing in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, West Bengal, Assam, and Tripura, as well as the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
