  22 December 1949: A conspiracy that began with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi culminated in the execution of the Ayodhya strategy. Late that night, a little-known sadhu, Abhiram Das, and his followers entered the Babri Masjid and planted an idol of Rama inside it. While it is known that the Hindu Mahasabha had a role in placing the idol in the mosque, the larger plot and the chain of events that led to that act have never been subject to rigorous scrutiny. Krishna Jha and Dhirendra K. Jha bring together the disparate threads of the buried narrative for the first time. Ayodhya: The Dark Night uncovers, in vivid detail, what really transpired on the fateful night that was to leave a permanent scar on the Indian polity.

  Psychological Intimidation -...

  Psychological intimidation refers to the use of mental tactics to instill fear, compliance, or submission in others. Unlike physical intimidation, which involves overt threats or aggressive behavior, psychological intimidation operates on a more subtle, covert level. It involves manipulating emotions, perceptions, and thought processes to control or influence an individual’s actions, often without them realizing they are being intimidated. This form of intimidation can be just as harmful as physical aggression, as it undermines the victim’s sense of security, autonomy, and well-being. 
  At its core, psychological intimidation is about the exertion of power. The intimidator uses fear or the threat of harm—whether real or perceived—to influence or dominate another person. It is often used in relationships, workplaces, and social dynamics where there is an imbalance of power. This type of intimidation can be subtle, often taking the form of guilt-tripping, manipulation, isolation, or the use of authority to control another’s behavior. It might include behaviors like silent treatment, constant criticism, gaslighting, or passive-aggressive actions, all designed to make the victim feel inadequate, fearful, or uncertain. 
  The effects of psychological intimidation are often long-lasting. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, and a diminished sense of self-worth. Over time, the individual may begin to question their own judgment, doubt their abilities, or feel that they are powerless to make decisions without the approval of the intimidator. This can create a cycle where the victim is more susceptible to future manipulation or control, reinforcing the power dynamic.

  Every 90 Seconds - Our Common...

  Every 90 seconds a woman is sexually assaulted. In that same minute and a half, another is a victim of domestic violence at the hands of a current or former intimate partner. Every sixteen hours, one of those intimate partners shoots and kills a woman. Nearly two in ten  
  women are stalked, while one in sixteen is raped during her first sexual experience. Despite these jaw-dropping statistics, collectively we are well practiced at seeing such acts as someone else’s problem. And yet, violence against women is tangled up with the most  
  frequently discussed and debated issues of our time: healthcare and education access, immigration, gun policies, economic security, and criminal justice reform—issues that impact us all, nearly every day. 
   
  In Every 90 Seconds, Anne P. DePrince argues that to end violence against women, we must fundamentally redefine how we engage with it—starting by abandoning the idea that violence is a problem involving only those who abuse or are abused. Instead, DePrince  
  illuminates how violence against women is inextricably linked to other issues that stoke our greatest passions. For instance, each time a woman requires emergency medical attention as a result of violence and abuse, our overburdened healthcare system bears an entirely  
  preventable cost. Meanwhile, the threat of violence is a significant cause of pressure on the US southern border, driving women and their families to seek safety far from home.  
   
  Violence against women also takes a stunning toll on the US economy by contributing to widespread poverty. Drawing on these and other complex examples, DePrince builds the case that this very complexity offers an opportunity for mobilizing ordinary people to work  
  to stop violence against women in a way we never have before. DePrince’s call to action arises out of the reality that when we address violence against women, we can make progress on a range of other significant issues that we care deeply about too.
