"In the late 19th century Bengal, goyenda (detective) fictions depicted widowed women as villains— they were either perpetrators of crimes or accomplices to criminals. These widows were potrayed as dangerous, greedy and ruthless criminals who transgressed from social morals — a stark contrast to the ""ideal"" domesticated woman.

However, these women, many of who became widows in the early phases of their lives, were not shown to be passive and helpless victims of their circumstances. They were painted as monstrous but materially ambitious and audacious individuals."

"Shubhamastu', a Kolkata-based collective led by four priestesses, has been presiding over Hindu ceremonies of weddings, memorial services, housewarming rituals, among others, for over a decade now. the group hopes to elbow their way into what has been a male dominated space. Though the group subverts traditional Hindu practices (for instance, there is mutual vermillion (sindoor) application; the bride and groom walk together around the sacred fire instead of the groom walking ahead as is norm), they continue to rely on some of the non-patriarchal/non-misogynist verses from the Veda. The Vedas are a collection of four books that together form the corpus of Hindu literature. The Vedas have been criticised by stalwarts of the anti-caste movement like B.R Ambedkar for consolidating the superiority of the caste system.

2. Shubhamastu has been criticised for not having a single non-Brahmin (Brahmins are the highest-ranked caste in the Hindu caste system) priestess and for not stepping outside the universe of the Vedas. The rituals conducted by these priestesses include the chanting of Sanskrit hymns and the performance of Rabindranath Tagore's vast repertoire of songs."

"The government has announced a new process for recruitment to the Indian Armed Forces – Tour of Duty — Agnipath. The process of recruitment will aim to have more than 46,000 ""agniveers""– boys and girls aged 17-21 are expected to be recruited for four years.The proposal is believed to envisage recruiting personnel into the army for short tenures on a volunteer basis. This step has been taken to keep the armed forces young and to also reduce the burden of pension. These young boys and girls between the ages of 17 and a half to those of 21 years of age are eligible to be recruited for four years as soldiers in the Indian Army and equivalent ranks in Navy and Indian Air Force (IAF).
At present, the defence budget is approximately 1.5 per cent of the GDP, which is rather low and insufficient for modernisation.
Note: the scheme, should it be implemented, will only apply to Personnel Below Officer Ranks (PBOR)"
