Letters from an American – The Nineteenth Amendment – eather Cox Richardson
The Nineteenth Amendment
By Heather Cox Richardson, Aug 26, 2025 Yesterday, I intended to write about the Nineteenth Amendment prohibiting states from denying women the right to vote because today is the anniversary of the amendment’s certification in 1920. But I decided the political news yesterday couldn’t wait, so I dropped the plan and wrote about Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker’s stand against President Donald J. Trump.Still, as right-wing Christian nationalists supported by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth are calling for an end to women’s right to vote, it seems crucial to remember the history of the drive for women’s suffrage in the United States of America. While you won’t get the full letter about it I had intended, my team put together a 3-minute video about the history, linked here.
(This is not tonight’s letter, by the way. I just couldn’t bear to let the anniversary pass without noting it.)

Maharashtra Panel to Monitor Interfaith Couples Is Another Majoritarian Tool for Control
The state is expected to act as a counterforce to patriarchal norms, providing a platform for women to exercise their rights. But we see the state itself become a force of authority in matters concerning a woman's agency.

India’s Demotion To Electoral Autocracy Is Fair, Repeated Dismissal Of International Surveys Unhelpful, Global Ranking Expert Explains
Year after year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has criticised and challenged international rankings on democracy, press freedom and civil liberties, where India has been falling since the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in 2014. The latest pushback, an editorial intervention by two government officials, questioned the methodology and motives of V Dem, Freedom House and the Economist Intelligence Unit. In this interview, Staffan Lindberg, director of the Sweden-based V Dem, explains why the allegations are untrue.

‘Number Of Hindu-Muslim Couples Seeking Help To Get Married Has Fallen. Such Is The Fear’
Several Indian states have enacted laws to curb interfaith marriage, and Delhi-based non-profit Dhanak Of Humanity, which has helped over 5,000 couples of different faiths, castes and communities over a decade, says these laws could criminalise those aiding such couples. Co-founder Asif Iqbal told us the government and groups campaigning against the ‘love jihad’ trope do not want unions under a law that allows them to be married, while many states have not obeyed a 2018 Supreme Court order to set up a helpline and shelter homes for couples in love at risk of honour killings, violence by communal groups.

Lies, Insistence and Disregard for Evidence: The Journey of 'Love Jihad' Laws
A spate of legislation surrounding 'love jihad' is justified on grounds of allegedly increasing instances of Muslim men marrying Hindu women. But is there any real evidence to support these claims?
