India loses 16 women every day to dowry violence. NCRB data shows 5,737 dowry deaths in 2024, highlighting a continuing national crisis despite a decline from 7,466 deaths in 2017. Recent cases from Greater Noida, Bhopal, and Madhya Pradesh reflect ongoing allegations of dowry-linked harassment and abuse. Uttar Pradesh alone accounts for over a third of total cases, followed by Bihar, while several other states also report significant numbers. Though cases under the Dowry Prohibition Act have slightly reduced compared to 2023, the overall figures remain deeply concerning.

Petrol prices across India still vary massively despite the fuel being sourced from the same national supply chain. Andhra Pradesh is currently among the most expensive at ₹113/litre, while states like Arunachal Pradesh and UTs like Andaman & Nicobar are far cheaper.

A huge part of this difference comes from state-level VAT and local taxes added on top of central excise duties. That’s why neighbouring states can sometimes have surprisingly different fuel prices even when crude oil prices remain stable globally.

It’s one of the clearest examples of how taxation directly affects everyday living costs in India, especially for middle-class families, transport workers, and businesses that depend heavily on fuel.

Hyderabad’s corporate corridor has reached G7-level GDP per capita territory on a PPP-equivalent basis.

This uses Ranga Reddy district as the administrative data unit for Hyderabad’s western corporate/IT corridor. The comparison is not based on a tiny neighbourhood: Ranga Reddy spans about 5,031 sq km — larger by area than Luxembourg and Singapore.

Its reported per-capita income of ₹11.29L is about 5.15× India’s national PCI of ₹2.20L. Applying that ratio to India’s IMF PPP GDP per capita gives:

$11,789 × (₹11.29L ÷ ₹2.20L) ≈ $60,700

This is a hypothetical PPP-equivalent per-person comparison, not an official IMF district ranking. It compares purchasing-power-adjusted income levels, not total GDP.

On that basis, Ranga Reddy sits in the same broad band as Canada, France and the UK, and above New Zealand, Poland, China and India’s national average.

According to NFHS-5 (2019–21), around 14.5% of Indian men aged 15–49 reported consuming gutkha or paan masala with tobacco. But the state-wise differences are massive. Nagaland (34.3%), Gujarat (33.6%), Odisha (31.1%), Madhya Pradesh (29.6%), and Uttar Pradesh (27.6%) recorded some of the highest rates, while Kerala (0.6%), Andhra Pradesh (1%), and Jammu & Kashmir (0.4%) remained among the lowest.

The data highlights how smokeless tobacco consumption in India is heavily shaped by regional habits, culture, awareness levels, and public health enforcement. Despite multiple state-level bans and anti-tobacco campaigns, gutkha remains widely consumed in several parts of the country and continues to be linked with rising oral cancer and other health risks.

According to data from the Ministry of Law & Justice and MOSPI, women make up only around 14-15% of judges across India’s High Courts in 2025, while the Supreme Court has just 1 woman judge out of 33 judges (~3%). Punjab & Haryana HC, Telangana HC, and Sikkim HC show relatively higher representation, while several High Courts still have either extremely low or zero women judges.

The numbers highlight how slowly gender representation is changing in India’s higher judiciary despite women increasingly entering the legal profession and lower courts.
