When will this world change?
When will the mentality of Indian men—fathers, husbands, brothers, boyfriends, and the everyday layman—evolve when it comes to Indian women?

To take the life of your own daughter because you couldn’t handle her success… because your ego was bruised living off her income… or perhaps because she chose to be independent—is beyond tragic, it’s unforgivable.

I do not want to generalize, but this toxic mindset—this fragile masculinity that feels threatened by successful, independent Indian women—is still far too common. It’s heartbreaking. It’s infuriating. And it begs the question:

Is there any hope for change?

Radhika Yadav didn’t just lose her life—she was robbed of her voice, her dreams, and her right to live on her own terms. Her story is a chilling reminder of the work we still have to do.

Let us speak up. Let us not stay silent. And let us raise a generation that celebrates empowered women—not fears them.
