Democracy without choice: how unopposed Maharashtra rural polls silence dissent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amid ongoing debates over the special intensive revision (SIR) drive by the Election Commission, name deletions, and electoral transparency, a quiet disenfranchisement persists at the grassroots level in Maharashtra -- where some local panchayats have not held elections for as long as 70 years. In these villages, the local leadership ensures that all members of the gram panchayat are chosen “unopposed”, bypassing the ballot box entirely. In Angar town of Solapur district, a gram panchayat electi
From idol immersions to funeral rites, Maharashtra faces the drought pinch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The vibrant beats of dhol-tashas and chants of ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ faded into a sobering reality across Maharashtra this week as the 10-day annual Ganesh festival concluded on Friday and the State government on Saturday declared drought in 265 of the 358 talukas, including several parts of the Marathwada and Vidarbha regions.

She completed her full term in the fields and gave birth to a baby girl. Just five or six days later, she resumed work, leaving her infant nearby while she and her husband toiled. One day, fearing the contractorâs anger over her stopping to tend to her child, Ms. Waghmare hurried to help load bundles of sugarcane onto a tra
Vidarbhaâs farm widows who refuse to remarry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Maharashtraâs drought-prone regions, widow remarriage is gradually shifting from a social taboo to wider acceptance.
