The recent PUB event at Manglore has left many reacting in their own way either in anger or in fear, specially where the event took place. Such events have been happening every now and then instigated by a group of hypocrites.
Who has given them right to talk about the culture and so called "protecting" Indian culture ? This is what is reflected everywhere.
If they are really worried about women, why don’t they catch those people who are involved in trafficking innocent girls in to the flesh business ?
Nobody is really bothered about anything except for money and power. This one also clearly appears to be the case of extortion and nothing else.
And now the CM of Rajasthan tells that he wont let the mall culture grow here in India. Your state might have the largest number of suppressed women . In spite of the education, there is no equality in society. People are not yet able to accept the woman as an individual with her own brain. All types of dos and don’t s have been imposed on women only.
It is ironical that it was Indra, who disguised as Gautam Rishi (husband of the beautiful Ahilya) and visited Ahilya, who could not obviously think in her weirdest dream that , this person is not her husband and could not fathom his ill intentions; and hence spent time with him. ….. and who suffers? When Indra does the wring things, why does Rama do "Uddhar" of Ahilya?
And this bunch of people seem to have stuck just in that chapter of Mythology, where women constantly paid the price of what they did not do, be it Seeta or Ahilya .
Actually, I would like to write more on this issue, but this is an issue which demands length and at this point of time I also want to mention other aspects of hypocrisy. But I will come back with the issue of woman’s status in Indian society.
—————————————————————————————————————
Keeping man woman fight aside, if we talk about weired thoughts of such people , you tend to think, how to explain. There has always been trend to blame western countries for anything that happens in our society. I would like to know if they are aware that there has been nothing new to Indian society, if we studied our past. There was an era in our ancient times when no job, rights were on the basis of the gender. Women were Pandits, Soldiers and governed a social status in their own right. Things did deteriorate later.
There are endless examples of hypocrisy of Indian politicians and rules imposed by them.
For instance declaring Gujrat as "The dry state" just because Gandhiji hailed from there? Gujarat is a place where liquor is smuggled heavily. People are minting money heavily. And every that leader, politician,policy maker is very well aware about it, probably must be getting share of it, must be celebrating over scotch and wine. And common people are anyway going to have it just across the state border.
People in the system are interested in ban not for the good moral values , but banning will allow flow of illicit liquor ,so everybody from top to bottom can mint money in boot legging of the liquor.
I am certainly not advocating that liquor consumption is a good idea. if you are a grown up individual and you can select the leader for your own country Don’t you have a right to lead your life the way you want? Every adult is mature enough to handle his/her own life.
Once an individual has attained a certain age, that is legally adult age, you can not stop him/her from leading the life he/she wants. Now his/her behaviour will be based on one’s own sensibilities, that comes by education,upbringing and values that have been imbibed in growing years.
Are we ready to stop liquor manufacturing companies? What about the revenue?Liquor barons are in politics too! So lets be realistic…
Similarly, banning smoking on screen/public places is really implementable? Is it going to reduce the number of smokers? Better educate people about the ills.
There is ban on the usage of Polythene in Delhi, but what is the use unless the manufacturing is stopped? It will be made and supplied feeding all the hurdles.
Education does not come by merely acquiring some degree. One has to have open and broad, logical and rational attitude towards life. These are the people who stop these youngsters celebrating Valentine’s day, which is spreading some smiles and happiness just because it did not originate from here. Strange!!
Let the good senses prevail.
please send me current latest issues of delhi jan to march 2009
As far as Pubs ,mangalore , valentine day etc etc are concerned and the hulla following it ,why is it that the symbol for womens lib or emancipation should be a beer bottle or a cigarette? Why is it that the only way we can show the world that we are liberated is by drinking beer , kissing in public , smoking cigarettes ? Why is it that we have to show the world that we are liberated ?
Nicely cover all the things in one……..my view is individual should take responsibility of theirself, their fmaily & i guess than only things wud be better. Blamming on politicion & leader would not help now…..we have to take charge of our welbeing.
Pubs! Alcohol! Smoke! Sex! Smuggling! Woman Rights! Corruption! Environment! She has covered them all.
It has more to do with ”personal / political culture” rather than ”religious culture”.
How do we counter this? We have the greatest weapon that democracy has given us! Voting! Use it! Wisely!
There is no need to take their claim about “Indian culture” too seriously. The ones responsible for Mangalore incident had taken law in their own hands and should be treated as criminals. There is no need to fall prey to their plan and bring culture or religion into it. I agree with you that most of the people who start imposing their self-created laws are hypocrites in their own right…. (Rahul)
