Life of Men in 2025: The year 2025 has shown a messy and problematic reality for Indian men and the entire human race. As the expanding horizon of tragic occurrences ranging from terrorism to domestic violence. Comes along, there is a rapidly evolving discourse on the shifting equations which are reshaping men’s lives. The guardian or the offender days are gone now, men are now becoming increasingly in the news as victims, raising questions more fundamental than ever before about vulnerability and social change.
The recent terror strike in Pahalgam stunned the nation, leaving a number of security personnel and civilians dead. The majority of the dead were men who worked for their country fathers, brothers, and sons who were martyred. The attack served as a reminder that despite the fact that men have been the guardians always, they are not immune to the risks of terrorism and violence in war zones.
There has been a ghastly plane crash at the start of this year. Which again talked about the vulnerability of human life. Though while tragedies touch everyone equally, most of the victims who lost their lives were male business travelers or pilots. Again proving how often men have been shown as pillars of strength can also prove to be the weakest of all when tragedy strikes. The psycho-social impact on the family and society cannot be measured.
Bleakly, a reported increase in husbands attacked or killed by their wives is also occurring. These are revealing the largely hidden case of domestic violence against men. Social shame and the lack of statutory protection make most male victims silent and invisible, contradicting the long-standing presumption that women exclusively can be targeted within domestic life.
Recent stampedes at public gatherings are damaging lives and taking casualties most of which have been men attempting to shield their families or control the situation. In context, these incidents illustrate how men are impacted harmfully (and at the same time) in public chaos, and grapple with the absence of recognition for their sacrifices.

Aside from not being filled with doomsday headlines, 2025 represents a changing paradigm. Culturally, we are starting to rethink masculinity, vulnerability, and safety. Men fail to be Reductionist thinkers of aloof aggressors or providers. But multi-faceted human beings with vulnerabilities to emotional, physical, and social risks. We need to consider a conversation with more nuance.
