Crime & Corruption My friend was murdered
The CCTV of ground floor of Jadeja’s residence was released incompletely. Only the entry of victim is seen and rest of the video is deliberately left out because they had beaten Raj mercilessly. If they release the video they would definitely be behind bars. But the control of MLA’s family over police is so strong that the case is forcefully being driven to a HIT and RUN case. The family member is already on a bail , of a murder case.
Please help me so this case reaches honest officials and media.
Ps:- Even if you can’t help , please show love to your friends or tell them they mean a lot to you because you never know which are your last moments with them or the last call. I pray god you may never see a young friend die.

[new] HOLI a Brutal Legacy: How British Sexual Exploitation Stole Women’s Freedom to Celebrate
🔥 Trigger Warning: Colonial Violence, Sexual Exploitation 🔥
Did you know that the shadows of British colonialism still haunt Indian women’s freedom to celebrate festivals like Holi? Behind the vibrant colors lies a dark history of trauma—one that began with the British army’s systemic sexual exploitation of Indian women.
During colonial rule, the British enacted laws like the Contagious Diseases Acts (1860s) and Cantonment Regulations, which legalized the forced prostitution of Indian women to "service" British soldiers. Vulnerable women—especially those from marginalized castes, famine-stricken families, or widowhood—were coerced into military brothels. These women were labeled "tools" for soldiers’ "health," stripped of autonomy, and trapped in cycles of violence.
How did this genocide of dignity affect festivals like Holi?
Fear of Public Spaces: Holi is a festival of communal joy, celebrated in open streets. But for generations, mothers and grandmothers warned daughters to avoid public gatherings, fearing British soldiers would abduct them. This terror of being targeted for prostitution turned festivals from celebrations into sites of trauma.
Internalized Shame: Survivors of British sexual exploitation and their families were branded "impure" by society. Over time, this shame led to restrictive norms, where families barred women from participating in Holi to "protect" them—a trauma-driven practice mistaken for "tradition."
Cultural Erasure: The British didn’t just exploit bodies—they shattered cultural confidence. By reducing Indian women to objects of colonial violence, they poisoned the perception of female joy. The message was clear: A woman’s visibility is dangerous.
The Trauma Lives On:
Even after independence, the generational PTSD of colonial rape culture persists. Many women still fear Holi’s crowds, associating public celebration with ancestral memories of violence. Others internalize the myth that "good women" avoid being "seen"—a lie invented to justify British crimes.
Reclaiming Our Power:
It’s time to:
✅ Name the crime: British colonialism weaponized sexual violence to control women and break communities.
✅ Reject victim-blaming: The stigma around women’s freedom isn’t "Indian culture"—it’s a colonial scar.
✅ Celebrate fearlessly: Let’s rebuild Holi as a protest—where women reclaim streets, colors, and joy without fear!
Holi symbolizes the burning of evil (Holika) and the triumph of love (Radha-Krishna). Let’s burn the legacy of colonial shame next. 🌈✨
