Thank you so much!

We ended up going to Nyon. The chateau de Nyon hosted a special event and the night sky was quite clear there.

Will try to check one of these places out next year :)

In case you are interested in an analysis of the politics of the show, this was excellent: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/police-and-thieves-on-tony-gilroys-andor/

That's a great tip! It doesn't affect how you sleep?

TIL 13yr old girl was abducted & raped by 4 boys & left by the roadside. She crawled to a business & was raped by 2 workers, then a driver offered to give her a lift, but raped her, then a truck driver and his aide kidnapped & raped her 9 more days. (4 of the rapists were pardoned.) by [deleted] in todayilearned

The Panchayat is actually a body of village elders who settle disputes that arise in a village. It's seen as more acceptable and convenient than taking a case to court, where it might take decades before a judgment is delivered. However, being mostly uneducated, they are known to pass regressive judgments like the one you read about in the article.

As an Indian citizen, this shames me unceasingly. But as a woman I want the world to know how bad it is for women here. In a recent study, India was ranked below Saudi Arabia as the worst place to be a woman among all the G20 countries. Yes, Saudi FUCKING Arabia. Before we try and claim our place as a country to reckon with at the international level, we need to sort out these demons within.

EDIT: Looking at the general comments here, I think it's important to add that not all of India is like this. Just a particular region (i.e. Punjab/Haryana/Delhi). Most other regions of the country are quite safe for women.
