Was I wrong to call the cops on my abusive father? I feel deeply guilty, but I couldn’t take it anymore. Please help me make sense of this guilt. My father has been abusive towards my mother—physically, emotionally, and verbally. He has also been emotionally and verbally abusive towards me. One day, during an argument, he tried to choke me—not to kill, but to hurt—and in that moment, I instinctively called the cops. Perhaps it was because my mother’s fear of societal shame had always kept her silent, enduring years of abuse. But I couldn’t stay silent. My father, on the other hand, seemed completely shameless. I realized that if I didn’t take a stand that day, he... 5 0 replies

Hindu marriage act is utterly confusing They say Hindu marriage is not a contract. So while marrying the law does not get involved. But once you get married it becomes contract like and the law gets involved. You’ll routinely see judge passing comments like if you married then you have to pay your wife, which would be fair had they involved themselves before marriage. They should have made sure that only those men can get married who will pay their wife ad infinitum and agree with such conditions. No one enforces that before marriage (legally)... 1 0 replies

Is it common to have pressure of sorting life when your friends are settling down ? Pretty much all of my childhood friends are getting married and one of them even has a son.

What are some "Core Indian?" cities and towns in India? I mean, all major cities around the world are more or less similar: business districts where professionals gather, areas crowded with tourists, neighborhoods preferred by locals, and spots where young people hang out—things like that. However, in almost every country, there are some towns or cities that are believed to reflect the true spirit of that country. These places don’t usually attract many tourists, and locals often say, 'One day, I want to go and see there,' but rarely actually visit. These places stand out for their food, nature,... 1 0 replies

What do you guys think of religious groups like Bajrang Dal ? Recently I came across this new article where Bajrang Dal protested due to wedding festivities of an Inter Faith couple.
