A | New Delhi, Oct 14 (UNI) The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Friday issued notices to Union Ministries of Women & Child Development, Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, the governments of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Maharashtra over menace of Devadasi system, calling for a detailed report in the matter.
The report must contain the supporting data mentioning the steps taken/proposed to be taken by the authorities to prevent the Devadasi system and to provide the Devadasis rehabilitation and social security so that they could lead their lives with dignity. It should also mention whether any local laws have been enacted in the States to prevent such social evil, and if not what steps have been proposed to be taken to eradicate it, NHRC in a statement stated.
The Commission took suo motu cognizance of a media report on the continued menace of Devadasi system, especially in southern part of India. Reportedly, the Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh governments had declared this tradition of Devadasi as illegal in the year 1982 and 1988, respectively. However, reportedly, over 70,000 women have been leading their lives as Devadasi in Karnataka alone, it stated.
A Commission constituted under the chairmanship of Justice Raghunath Rao had reportedly held that there are 80,000 Devadasis in the States of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, it added.
Issuing the notices, the Commission observed that a few years back, it had received a complaint regarding the malpractice of Devadasi in the States of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. In response to its notices, the state authorities had denied the allegations. Various laws have also been enacted in the past to stop the malpractice of the Devadasi system but it is still prevailing, as the news report indicates. The Apex Court has also taken a stern stance in condemning the malpractice of dedicating young girls as Devadasis. It has described the practice as an evil done to women by subjecting them to sexual exploitation and prostitution. This is a serious issue of violation of Right to Life, Dignity and Equality of these victim women, it added.
UNI CM SHK2145。 The trailer of Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos is finally out. It promises a madcap ride powered by humour, chaos and heart. This wild ride is directed by Emmy-nominated comedian Vir Das in his directorial debut and produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film is set for a theatrical release on January 16, 2026.
The trailer was unveiled on the official YouTube channel of Aamir Khan Talkies as well as on social media platforms. The film also marks Vir Das’ second collaboration with the banner after Delhi Belly.
Vir Das stars as Happy Patel, a self-proclaimed international spy with unmistakable Indian roots and a knack for landing in trouble. Described as “a chef, an agent (kind of), a hero (probably),” Happy finds himself facing violence, the Goa Police, and an unexpected romantic turn. Mithila Palkar stars opposite him, while Vir’s straight-haired, Bob Dylan-esque look adds to the film’s offbeat nature.

The ensemble cast includes Mona Singh, Sharib Hashmi, and Srushti Tawade. Mona Singh takes on a brand new avatar as she plays a strikingly raw, gangster-like avatar.
The end of the trailer teases a character played by Aamir Khan. He is seemingly in a spirited and completely different role.
As a treat to fans, the film also marks the much-awaited theatrical comeback of Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na actor Imran Khan. He is returning to the screen after over a decade. His last release was Katti Batti opposite Kangana Ranaut in 2015.
Co-directed by Kavi Shastri and co-written by Amogh Ranadive, the film leans into bilingual humour and playful satire, cheekily flipping the popular meme by suggesting that “India is for beginners.” The trailer hints at a perfectly imperfect spy story that doesn’t take itself too seriously.Also Read: Aamir Khan makes a sharp airport appearance in an understated look。
