On December 9, Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old tech worker in Bengaluru, ended his life, sparking discussions about men’s rights across India. Karnataka’s Home Minister, G Parameshwara, said Atul’s tragic death has brought attention to how men’s rights are often overlooked compared to women’s rights.

Atul, originally from Bihar, left behind a video and a 24-page note blaming his wife, Nikita Singhania, and her family for making him feel so hopeless. He mentioned harassment from false legal cases and attempts to extort money from him. Sadly, he had sent his note to a men’s rights group before he died, but help arrived too late.

His death created a wave of anger, with people in cities like Mumbai and Delhi protesting for justice, echoing Atul’s last message: “Justice is Due.” This pressure led the Bengaluru police to search for those he named. The police later found and arrested Nikita in Gurugram and her family in another city.

Atul’s family is also blaming the judge who handled their case. Meanwhile, there’s growing pressure on the tech company Accenture to take action regarding Nikita, who is one of their employees.

A 32-year-old computer worker in Surat hurt himself badly by cutting off four fingers on his left hand because he was very stressed at work. At first, he told the police that someone attacked him while he was using the restroom near Vedant Circle. He claimed he lost consciousness during the incident but, after looking into his story, the police found many things that didn’t add up.

His belongings, like his motorcycle, phone, and cash, were untouched, and there was no sign of an attack. When the police confronted him with this evidence, he admitted that he had hurt himself. He explained that he felt trapped in his job since his boss was related to his family. A few days before the incident, he bought a sharp butcher knife and used it to cut off his fingers because he wanted to escape his stressful job.

The police found the knife and his fingers at a place he directed them to. He first cut off three fingers and then cut the fourth one. The man graduated in civil engineering and earned about ₹50,000 a month to support his wife and two-year-old daughter. He said, “I felt really stressed because of work and didn’t want to keep doing it. I took this extreme step to get away from the pressure.” Police said they will not take any legal action against him.

This shocking event comes shortly after a startup faced criticism for reportedly firing workers who complained about stress. The startup, YesMadam, which provides home beauty services, apologized on social media for any confusion. They wrote that they care for their team and would never fire anyone for being stressed. They said the posts were meant to highlight the serious issue of workplace stress and thanked people for their opinions.

On Sunday, External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar spoke in Delhi about India’s role in the world. He pointed out that India is becoming a country that others look to for help, even if sometimes it seems shy about doing so. He emphasized that India is often the first to offer assistance when countries around the globe are in need. However, he also said that India still has work to do to correct past mistakes and become a nation with a forward-thinking foreign policy.

Dr. Jaishankar mentioned that although India has faced challenges over the years, it is moving past that “defensive” attitude. He noted, “The time of hiding is over for us.” He shared thoughts on how India’s past, especially during colonial times, led to problems in our connections with other countries, which need to be improved. He believes that future global connectivity will be closely tied to India.

According to the minister, there are currently about 17-18 million Indians working abroad. He believes this number will only grow in the coming years, showing the strength and presence of Indians around the world.
