How the BJP snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the Haryana elections
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a third term in the Haryana Assembly elections, overcoming challenges from the Congress by winning 48 out of 90 seats. Despite an increase in vote share, the Congress managed only 37 seats, hindered by internal conflicts and overconfidence. Key factors contributing to the BJP's victory included voter satisfaction with the incumbent government, effective voter coalition strategies, and a focus on women's safety. The BJP's ability to consolidate non-Jat votes and the Congress's failure to fully secure the Jat vote further influenced the outcome. The Lokniti-CSDS survey highlighted these dynamics, showing the BJP's strategic advantage in voter satisfaction and coalition-building.

Top Indian wrestler quits after federation elects ally of controversial former chief
Sakshi Malik, the only Indian woman wrestler to win an Olympic medal, announced her decision to quit wrestling after the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elected Sanjay Singh, an ally of the controversial former chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, as its new president. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a powerful politician from India's ruling party, faces allegations of sexually harassing female athletes. Malik, who won bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics, had previously led protests demanding an inquiry into the allegations. Despite charges of assault, stalking, and sexual harassment filed by Delhi police, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has not been arrested and denies all allegations. The election of Sanjay Singh over Anita Sheoran, a critic of the former chief and advocate for federation reforms, has reignited controversy. The wrestlers' protest had drawn attention to the criticism against the ruling establishment, with activists and opposition politicians accusing authorities of obstructing justice. Vinesh Phogat, another female Olympian, was also a prominent figure in the protests.

The much-maligned khaaps still have potential
The article explores the historical and current relevance of the khaap system, an informal social institution in rural India, particularly among the Jat community in Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Despite being viewed as patriarchal and feudal, khaaps have played a significant role in resolving social and familial issues. The article highlights a case where a marriage was annulled by a khaap due to gotra issues, but later resolved through community intervention. It discusses the potential for khaaps to adapt to modern values and continue serving as a mechanism for social justice, especially for the weak and poor in rural areas.

India ministry suspends scandal-hit federation
The Indian sports ministry suspended the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and dismissed its newly elected officers after the federation elected a president linked to the former president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who faces sexual harassment and criminal intimidation charges. The ministry's actions followed concerns over governance and integrity, prompting a request for the Indian Olympic Association to establish an ad hoc committee to manage the WFI. The WFI is also suspended by United World Wrestling for election delays, and a top female wrestler has resigned in protest. Singh, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, denies the allegations against him.

Female athletes in India face widespread sexual abuse
Female athletes in India, including Olympic champions, protested against the Wrestling Federation of India's president, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, for sexual harassment. The government formed a committee led by MC Mary Kom to investigate, but skepticism remains about achieving justice. India's National Crime Records Bureau reported a 15.3% increase in crimes against women in 2021, with sexual harassment cases being significant. The power dynamics in sports organizations and the athletes' underprivileged backgrounds contribute to the issue, exacerbated by the political connections of sports officials.
