Radhika Yadav's murder and what it says about the fragile masculinity prevalent in India
Women have always borne the brunt when it comes to clashes between fragile masculinity and their independence. Words from value education books and lines of radical feminists have failed to materialize in real life. Gender equality is still a utopian idea, veiled in the subtle nuances of everyday existence. The killing of state level tennis player Radhika Yadav, who decided to set up her own academy, is a symbol of how men can perceive their own daughters as a 'threat'. He had even asked her to stop working at the academy. Embarrassed by constant remarks from neighbours that he was living off his daughter's income, he chose the path less (read: more) travelled by Indian men -- punishing women to exercise dominance over them. In her recent article 'Mapping masculine anxieties and female homo-sociality in P. Sivakami's novels', Dr. Keerthana, a PhD holder in gender theories from IIT Madras, describes such cases as 'ricochet behaviour' wherein threatened masculinity manifests itself in violent forms. It is notable that this led to his masculinity tainting -- even destroying -- the bond between father and daughter. He was reportedly unhappy that she made reels and featured in music videos. Moreover, according to investigators, the crime was premeditated as he asked his son to go out to buy milk -- a task he usually did himself -- before allegedly firing four rounds into his daughter's back. According to Habiba Zafar, working as a project coordinator in an NGO for women's causes, 'This tragic case is a poignant reminder that real progress is not merely about women shattering glass ceilings but it is about transforming the mentality that perceives their independence as disobedience.'

Indian man assaulted, stripped in Ireland weeks after arrival. Here's what we know
An Indian man was assaulted and partially stripped in the Tallaght area of Dublin on Saturday evening (July 19), just three weeks after arriving in Ireland. According to The Irish Times, the man was targeted by a group of individuals who also accused him - falsely - of acting inappropriately around children. These allegations were reportedly circulated online. Garda sources have confirmed that no evidence supports the claims. The victim sustained several injuries and was found bleeding when emergency services arrived. He was taken to Tallaght University Hospital for treatment. There are speculations that the incident may have been racially motivated. Gardaí have since launched an investigation and are treating it as a possible hate crime Local councillor Baby Pereppadan from Fine Gael, who visited the victim, told the Irish Independent that the man was still in 'shock' and unable to speak much. "He is not taking any visitors," he added, calling for increased police presence in the area. 'Small incidents like these are happening frequently in Tallaght,' he said. Sinn Féin TD for Dublin South-West, Seán Crowe, also condemned the incident, describing it as 'vile and utterly unacceptable'. 'Anyone who thinks this sort of mindless, racist violence makes their community safer is lying and fooling no one,' he told the Irish Independent. Crowe added that such attacks leave both newcomers and long-time residents afraid to go outside. 'This is not the first such attack in our area, but it has to be the last,' he said. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Gardaí as investigations continue.
