Gujarat: Single girls not allowed; college student denied flat for rent as she is unmarried, 'If you're Patel…'
A Reddit user shared how his sister, a college student in Gujarat, faced housing discrimination in Gandhinagar. She rented a 3BHK flat with two friends, paid a broker and moved her things. The broker assured them there would be no issue renting as unmarried girls. But, before they could sign the rent agreement, a neighbour complained to the builder. The man demanded that the flat should not be rented to 'single girls'. Although the landlord had no problem, the builder refused to let them stay. When the girl tried to speak to the neighbour and explain, he rudely disconnected the call and blocked her. Now, they must bear extra moving costs and search for a new place just before college starts. 'This is not just disappointing, it's discriminatory,' the Redditor posted. 'Why should young adults, be it students or working, be denied a place to live after everything is finalised just because of outdated societal biases?' Several Reddit users shared their experiences with housing discrimination, especially targeting bachelors and single tenants in India. 'And then Gujaratis say, 'We are the most inclusive',' came a sarcastic remark. The original poster clarified, 'One of the reasons was also because they are not Gujrati. Also a few of my friends who were Gujrati but not Patel also told me how Patels dominate the scene. Like if you're Patel then its like bhai bhai. Otherwise, you will be discriminated against.' One user from Patna was almost evicted by his landlord because his girlfriend visited, which was deemed 'inappropriate'. Others echoed this frustration, questioning why landlords impose such outdated moral standards on paying tenants. Some users have pointed out that inviting friends or partners should be normal when one is renting legally. One comment compared being a bachelor in India to being a second-class citizen. 'In India, people worry more about what is happening in their neighbour's house. They don't spare families how will they spare bachelors,' wrote one user while blaming 'moral policing'. According to another user, Muslims also face severe bias, mentioning even actor Saif Ali Khan being denied property. However, one user countered, 'Muslims still get apartments in muslim locality. Bachelors are not gonna get in neither Hindu or muslim area.'

Student missed Air India flight by just 10 minutes
AHMEDABAD — Bhoomi Chauhan remembers being angry and frustrated. Bumper-to-bumper traffic had delayed her car journey to Ahmedabad airport — so much so that she missed her Air India flight to London Gatwick by just 10 minutes. Ms Chauhan, a business administration student who lives in Bristol with her husband, had been visiting western India for a holiday. The 28-year-old was due to fly home on AI171 on Thursday, which crashed shortly after take-off, killing 241 people on board and more on the ground. But after arriving at the airport less than an hour before departure, airline staff turned her away. "We got very angry with our driver and left the airport in frustration," she recalls. "I was very disappointed. "We left the airport and stood at a place to drink tea and after a while, before leaving... we were talking to the travel agent about how to get a refund for the ticket. "There, I got a call that the plane had gone down." Speaking to the BBC's Gujrati service, she adds: "This is totally a miracle for me." Ms Chauhan says she arrived at the airport at 12:20 PM local time, 10 minutes after boarding was due to commence. Her digital boarding pass, seen by BBC News, shows her assigned to economy class seat 36G. But despite having checked in online, she says airline staff would not allow her to complete the process at the airport. She had traveled from Ankleshwar - 201km (125 miles) south of Ahmedabad - before being held up in Ahmedabad's city center traffic. Ms Chauhan says: "When I missed the flight, I was dejected. Only thing that I had in mind was, 'If I had started a little early, I would have boarded the plane'. "I requested airline staff to allow me inside as I am only 10 minutes [late]. I told them that I am the last passenger and so please allow me to board the plane, but they did not allow me." — BBC
