The Finger Wrap: Adieus, Anti-feminists, AFSPA Continuity and More

July 14, 2014

zohraThis week, we bid adieu to actor Zohra Sehgal and journalist Vidya Munshi. We also remembered the feminist academic Sharmila Rege.

It has also been a decade since Thangjam Manorama was raped and killed by forces stationed in Manipur under the AFSPA. Her killers are yet to be arrested, and the AFSPA remains in force.

Cyclists, have you ever heard of such a thing as ‘bicycle face’? Here’s a good example of what to do to someone who brings it up.

If you think including female characters in videogames is hard, here’s a detailed, handy guide on how to get it right.

The bodies of the two young girls raped and killed in Badaun are being exhumed for a fresh autopsy, as the CBI believes the original autopsy was “bungled”.

AnuragOh Anurag. After the strange fiasco of “That Day After Everyday” came his rape is like a “bad accident” comment in an interview.

[Vaanthi Warning] A tribunal has upheld the removal of Major General Arun Kumar Lal for inappropriately touching a junior officer. But the bench modified the sentence of dismissal to deemed removal, saying “due to momentary lapse from the high virtuous path, he committed the mistake,” and it would be very harsh if he was required to forfeit his retirement dues.
