In Thoha Khalsa, Rawalpindi (March 1947), Hindu and Sikh women chose the depths of a village well over capture by the mob.
After days of siege by armed Muslim mobs demanding conversion or the women, the men of the village fought until resistance collapsed. With abduction, rape and forced conversion imminent, roughly 90–93 women and girls led by Mata Lajjawanti (also called Gulab Kaur) gathered at a well inside the haveli. They recited prayers, some holding infants, and jumped.
The well filled so completely with bodies that later women could not drown. Survivors (including Basant Kaur) described it like rotis stacked too high in a tandoor—the ones on top were pulled out alive. Contemporary reports (The Statesman, 15 March 1947) and eyewitness accounts confirm: only a handful survived because there was barely any water left. Around 200–300 were killed in the village overall; similar mass suicides and killings occurred in nearby villages during the Rawalpindi massacres.
This was one of the Partition-era jal-jauhars women choosing death to preserve honour and faith when defeat was certain. The bodies were still visible when Nehru visited days later. The well was later sealed.
@Shh_Shaili has recounted these Partition tragedies. The history is documented; it is not forgotten.

Lee Kuan Yew on Prostitution:
“We were candid about the problems we could not solve. Vices like prostitution, gambling, drug addiction and alcoholism could only be controlled, not eradicated. Singapore’s history as a seaport meant prostitution had to be managed and confined to certain areas of the city where the women were given regular health checks. Gambling was impossible to suppress. It was an addiction Chinese migrants had carried with them wherever they settled. But we had eliminated the triads or secret societies and broken up organized crime.”

I wish Muslim areas would become a little less radicalized so that innocent kids don’t have to celebrate Diwali on far, quiet highways.🥹

Of all the people in the world, if Jensen had to fall for a honey trap, did it really have to be a Chinese woman?
A Slavic, a Venezuelan, or at least a blonde would have made the whole operation seem a little more worthwhile! 😂

A growing nuisance with @Uber_India and @rapidoapp_ : Drivers accept your ride but don't move towards your pickup location unless you call them.
Why should customers chase drivers after a booking is confirmed?
Is accepting a ride a commitment or just an option?
Platforms need to fix this!

Rocket crackers are the biggest reason for fire incidents during Diwali.
This one should be banned.

नमित मलहोत्रा के वामायन ... क्षमा कीजिए रामायण चलचित्र का एक गीत कल यूट्यूब पर आया। गायक हैं श्री ज़ुबिन नौटियाल और गीतकार हैं श्री कुमार विश्वास। गीत पुराना है, कुमार विश्वास जी की यूट्यूब प्रसारणी पर कई बरसों से उपलब्ध है। इस गीत के प्रारम्भ में दो भारी भूलें है।
