JUSTICE LEAGUE
THE WEEK India|November 13, 2022
In the opening scene of Indian Predator: Murder in a Courtroom, a group of women resolutely march on as saris hung on clotheslines flutter in the wind. The juxtaposition is fascinating, for unlike the gently swaying garments, there is no unsteadiness in the women who walk on armed with knives, sickles, hammers and stones.

JUSTICE LEAGUE

The object of their anger is Bharat Kalicharan, better known as Akku Yadav, their neighbour in Kasturba Nagar slum, Nagpur. Yadav had allegedly raped 40 women, beaten up countless men and created terror in the area.

Yadav is bludgeoned to death in a courtroom in the first few minutes of the show. We see his bloodied body, but not his face. The defiant anger on his face is revealed only in the final minutes of the series.

A golden girl

One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

India is not a controlling big brother

Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
