Kanthan,
Are u a tamilian..ur phrasing hints at it ....😃
why confine to Asians..Men all the world over are monsters [ but not all men]..If only asian men monsters ...then there shud not have been any complaints of domestic violence's in America, Britain etc..but you do read about them ..and not only that..the graph is on a upward trend in America [esp during recession]..
So it would be incorrect to say that only Asian Men are violent..Monsters are everywhere ...
I deleted the Asian and Hindu references from my post. I had said that in the heat of anger. I have had Asian people tell me that while there is abusive men all over the world, they are more and worst in Asia. I think that this more depends on where one goes and who they have been in contact with as well as so many other factors.
But I myself am educated and know that this isn't always true. While there are alot of Asian and other men who are violent towards women, they really form a small fraction of the population, they just make alot of noise, which makes it look like theres alot more of them than there really is.
I always considered Asia, esp the Far East, the land of the highest knowledge and culture and had such a deep love for the cultures of the Far East, which I still do. In the early years of the 1990s, I did alot of research about Asia and it really intrigued me and there was something, possibly from previous birth that drew me to certain parts of Asia.
But on the other side, I heard the horror stories of domestc violence, bride burnings (like the one we hope to not see happen to our Prats), etc.. in many Asian communities and while I accepted that this does actually happened, I also hoped to the God that I would never witness it for myself, except for the odd occurance porttrayed on TV, or what we hear about in the news. And then suddenly, one day and several times after that, I actually witness it happen before my very eyes and find myself absolutely powerless to stop it as unfortunately, the perpitrator was twice the height and size of me and a whole lot stronger.
And now to this day, if I watch a Hindi or Tamil serial or movie and see a man misbehave with a woman, ie, pulling her hair, pressing her neck, twisting her arm, hitting her etc.. or the woman getting mad and sticking up for her abuser when another man tries to protect her, I remember what I witnessed myself before my own eyes and my blood just boils and my blood pressure shoots right up and sometimes even fly into a fit of anger. Of course, I react like that if I see any man act badly to a woman. Now, I try to do meditation and not watch these kinds of shows as these are not conducive to a peaceful mind. But every now and then...
My apologies for that which I said in my last post, As I said already, it was said in anger.

I am a man myself, but, I will never, ever touch even a hair on a womans head. Meaning, I will never abuse her in anyway, even if she was in the wrong, nor even if I felt she "deserves it".
