Naugama Khap to Hold First Women's Mahapanchayat Amid Youth Backlash
The Naugama khap panchayat, facing youth backlash on social media over its restrictions on love marriages and women's clothing, has announced its first-ever women's mahapanchayat. Scheduled for August 23 in Ramrai village, Jind district, the meeting aims to include women's perspectives from 36 associated communities. Chaired by Santosh Dahiya and decided by the khap's executive committee, this marks a shift as women participate in discussions on social issues traditionally dominated by men, amid ongoing debates about khap authority over personal choices.
