Mansi,
With due apologies..am putting up two posts here..
Only One of which is directly related to the episode today..
The second ..is pure emotion...and I start out with the second one first...since it is so much more important..here goes..
Bat for the underdog...my dear girl...woo freakin hoo to you..
"The problem in the world over is that a woman is objectified.."
If this statement is inserted contemporaneously...then a standing round of applause to the scribes of this show..Salud!
I put my humour on the back burner here...this is an issue that is extremely corrosive to my heart, nay- eating into my very essence...what happened in New Delhi was the very anithesis of humanity...and yet...there is precious little that our law and order givers have gleaned from it...a photojournalist in Mumbai, an unnamed lass in the hinterland...a three year old child...a child for cryin out loud...the Tehelka scandal...where the F#*k does this end?.. And how...
I am in frustrated tears as I write this...there is no attempt at societal corrections...young men think this is a game...throw a turn of dice...as it were...and then life goes back to normal...and our politicians so much prefer that we go back into our grinding routines...while they play merry with innocent lives...
And seriously...DO NOTHING...
NORMAL???ROUTINE??? Whether it is gun control in the US...and if have seen pictures of those adorable cherubs from Newtown played over and over while you weep your gut out in grief...or rage against the very deities you worship...when you know...you know damnit...that the feisty ,strong young lass was succumbing to the after effects of the brutality wreaked upon her system...you realize that something human within you has just died with a cynical smile...the part that believed that there is a baseline level of humanity and decency in every person...nopes...not anymore
In this context...raising this issue on a public platform deserves a standing ovation...it helps to bring this debate into the very subconscious , semi comatose,status ignoramus/obliviatus of each individual watching the show..that this is not an issue that should ever be allowed to fade from public memory...else the fight will be lost...
We owe it to the life of that young lady...we owe it to those children...and there are just so many of them...we owe it to the survivors...the battle scarred..as it were...else we will forever be in their debt...
Hi, I applaud you for brining in this issue in this thread where Jodha is rising her voice on the same issue. Forget about the Delhi, or Mumbai brutes, whom you can pin point and bring them under the court of Law and rise our voice. There are 'n' number od cases were burried without brining them to light merely because they were within the boundaries of the family.
I just can't believe, what is happening to the current men population. Why are they behaving worse than the street dogs? Is it because of frustration? then what women dont feel frustrated? Do they also search for some opposite sex to shell out their frustration. There are cases where father use his own daughter, brother attack his siste and blackmail her not to reveal to anyone, uncle on his neice, FIL on DIL what not. I will give 3 worst eg. towards where our men are drowing.
1. A father had been accused by his wife as he had raped his own daughter and the case was in front of the magistrate and when asked, teh psychopat gave an example of the tree and fruit. he had the guts to question the Judge, whether he will not taste the fruit from his own tree which he sowed and took care. will he allow some one else to taste the fruit of his hard work? If a father looks at his daughter this way, what a law can do to help a lady. You can ask for protection from an external criminal but when the one who was supposed guard the Girls integrity only tries to rob it, where is the safety for a girl.
2. The daughter complains to her mother that her brothet is misbehaving and tried to indulge her, the girl was being scolded and advised not to raise voice against the son of teh family to get adjusted to his needs. If a mother supports her son and spoli her daughter, where should the girl go and complain?
3. Wife complains to husband about her BIL & FIL trying to take advantage , the husband merely tells her that from the begining they have been sharing everything among themselves and she is no different. hence she needs to obey their wishes as well and fulfill their needs too... The husband is called the savior and if he pushes her to the drain, with whom ill she complain?
Is thre any end for this henious deeds? Over above there are countless ads advertising, how to gain animal power, how to get rid of the unwanted pre..., etc. Sre we really becoming civilized or dropping down to cave mans age where there was no boundary, any one can have anybody and no claims??????
