IndiaThe Gujarat High Court granted bail to Lakhiben Solanki, a Surat woman accused of killing her two-year-old daughter due to extreme poverty and hunger. The court emphasized that the incident reflects a systemic failure by the state and society to protect vulnerable families from hunger, lack of healthcare, and dignity. The court argued that the case should not be seen as an isolated act of violence but as a symptom of deeper societal and institutional neglect.
