Gender Issues: Why Are More Indian Girls Than Boys Dying From Self-Harm?

By MENAKA RAO | INNLIVE

Gender bias, social restrictions drive many impulsive young girls to harm themselves.

A higher number of girls than boys are harming themselves in India, said a study published in The Lancet earlier this month as part of the medical journal’s focus on adolescent health and well being. Many of these cases were not due to mental disorders, but due to the discrimination and restrictions girls face as compared to boys, said the experts behind the study.

By RUMESA KHAN | INNLIVE

Iftikhar is behind such hit shows as ‘Aunn Zara’, which is being shown on the Zindagi channel in India.

When Faiza Iftikhar describes her lead character using an unprintable term and terms men as “oxygen masks”, you know she’s a writer who won’t stick to the script.

Though we suspect that is mostly because she has trouble with total recall. Iftikhar claims she is especially prone to forgetting the names of dramas that launched her career.

Should Cricketer 'Virat Kohli' Be Protected For Bigger Battles Instead Of Being Thrown Into Every Odd Skirmish?

By RAHUL SHRESTA | INNLIVE

The selectors are thinking of resting India's Test captain for the upcoming Zimbabwe tour, though he may not welcome the decision.

In the summer of 1998, Sachin Tendulkar couldn’t put a foot wrong. After a memorable Test series win against Australia at home, he was unstoppable in Sharjah in the Coca-Cola Cup, which Indian cricket fans know better as “Operation Desert Storm”. Tendulkar, who turned 25 that April, was already India’s best batsman, and most worshipped sportsman. Meanwhile in Delhi, a boy named Virat Kohli, all of nine, was awestruck by what he saw.

BJP Politics: Has Recent Poll Victory Made Things Difficult For Amit Shah In Gujarat?

By NEWSCOP | INNLIVE

With Anandiben now showing a rare belligerence, the BJP president’s plan to replace the Gujarat CM before the 2017 Assembly poll seems to be in trouble.

Amidst the exhilaration over the Bharatiya Janata Party’s landslide victory in Assam, the party leadership has begun to absorb an uncomfortable truth. BJP president Amit Shah’s strategy may have sizzled in Assam, but his plan to replace Anandiben Patel as chief minister before the 2017 Assembly elections in his home turf of Gujarat may be thwarted by a renewed vigour acquired by the chief minister following a by-election victory in the state.

Rewriting History: By Comparing Akbar To Hitler, BJP Shows There’s No Place For Even A 'Good' Muslim In India’s History

By SHOEB KHAN | INNLIVE

It's not about being the 'good' Akbar or the 'bad' Aurangzeb – like Pakistan, India can't accept a minority historical icon anymore.

In August 2015, New Delhi’s Aurangzeb Road was renamed APJ Abdul Kalam Road by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. On the surface, this was done because Aurangzeb wasn’t a very nice man – or so goes most of popular Indian history. Of special note are his policies that supposedly discriminated against non-Muslims and his support for puritanical religion: a special tax on non-Muslims, temple destruction banning music and so on. So terrible is Aurangzeb’s image in modern India that not only Hindutva ideologues but even liberals and some left-wingers came out in support of the renaming.
