Is India A Rapist Country?

Remember your School days, we used to take a pledge every morning that India is my country and all Indians are my Brothers and Sisters...and so on. All of us knows that this is based on idealism and the purpose is to create a bond between men and women so that they will respect each other. And exactly this is taught by Indian culture (which some are maligning), like when we ask someone for a favour or just for starting a conversation we say Bhaisahab and Behenji. This is the implementation of same childhood pledge.

Can this kind of mindset lead to rape? Of course not. We are not in a rapist country and rape is not in our culture as BBC is telling the world from its documentary. Rape is a brutal act of violence which is a very serious offence like murder, Drugs trafficking, etc. These crimes happen all over the world and is not confined to one place or the other. Yes, somewhere there is our fault as well. We have not created a fear among rapist but even if we do that rape will happen but the number will go down exponentially like others.

The solution to this problem is more concerned with male than female. They should need more correction in their mindset (don't get angry). First, they should not allow taking anything like Cigarette/Alcohol/Drugs or even Gutka. Second, they should keep their "Mardaangi" (masculinity) in control. This is the main thing because of which rapes happen. Third, they should not treat women as Maal (Item). If these only three points are kept in check, rape will not happen anywhere.

I have not watched the Documentary, so I can't justify it's banning. Banning also makes no sense if the documentary is showing the facts that can be put across to people. The freedom of expression should be respected but not misused. Another fact is also that there is a Ban Culture growing in India. Not just this some right-wing groups even try to ban the film PK. It is like if anything goes against you, Ban that damn thing! It is the misuse of Power which can be dangerous for any democratic country.

We Indians are not born yesterday, we have been living in almost all parts of the world peacefully taking our rich culture where ever we go. When the Nirbhaya incident happened in 2012, people came to streets in protest and the protest remained for weeks demanding #HangTheRapist. But I believe in #StopTheRape so that there won't be any need of hanging in the first place!

The Failure Of Clean India Campaign

We must applaud the Prime Minister Narendra Modi Step of massive Clean India Campaign which officially began from 2nd October 2014. Whenever he Speaks about cleaning India people all over India as well as people of Indian origin shouts Yes! "This is the man India was waiting for and needed for a long time, he will definitely change India". But after listening to Mr Modi's mesmerising speech we forget everything and start doing the same thing that we are doing for a long time. For example, we spit anywhere, we throw garbage at the place where we found plenty of them, we urinate anywhere we find suitable and comfortable like on the wall, on the bushes. One day I went to someone's house (typical Indian) wearing shoes One lady shouted: "How dare you to come into my house wearing shoes?" I was pretty shocked and I was feeling as if I have done a punishable offence!! Think for a while how much we do to clean our house. But we forget that this country ...

Forgiveness - Your Way Towards Peace

Forgiveness is a divine power, something that ordinary humans are not entitled to have. And, those who have this quality are more than 'a human'. One, who is free from materialistic desire and, most importantly, the ego, is blessed with such divine power. Whether it is of physical or mental strength, weak cannot forgive others. Forgiveness is always an attribute of strong people. It is a trait of a mature person having deep inner control over his mind. This strength cannot be bought, it has to be earned. But, how would you earn that? I think spirituality may be the answer. There are multiple benefits of forgiveness. It directly influences our thinking process. It sets you free from the negativity building around and boosts positive personality. It saves energy which can be redirected to do productive things. It is also the key to longevity and good health. But, how will you forgive someone who is not even sorry for their action? How will you respond to evil with kindn...

Nuclear Friction - Are We Moving Towards Nuclear Doomsday?

It was a moment of joy for the North Koreans when they heard the news that North Korea has successfully tested H-bomb on January 6th and thus “guaranteed the eternal future of the nation”. But it was also a shocking and despairing moment for others. Followed by the claim, came the condemnation from most other countries of the world including US, Japan, South Korea, and even China (supposed friend of N. Korea). But it was not unexpected that the North Koreans will do a further nuke test after the three previous ones in 2006, 2009 and 2013. But nobody on this earth, or even in space, thought that they would be able to do an H-bomb test. It was a second nuclear test only in four years during the rule of Kim Jong Un, the young head of the mafia family that controls North Korea is a sobering reminder of the progress that three generations of Kims have made in expanding their nuclear capability—despite outside efforts to curb it. Few think that North Korea has yet managed t...

The Indian Society And The Struggle Of Our Sports Fraternity

India, the world’s second-most populous nation, fails to show its dominance in sports. In fact, India's performance remains terrible except in few games. So, what's holding India back when it comes to competing in world sporting events like the Olympics? First, it's the conservative Indian mindset of the Indian society. You might be aware of the saying in India “ Padhoge likhoge banoge Nawab, kheloge kudoge banoge kharab ” which translates to “You can be a king if you study, can be spoilt if you play games.” Social life of a person who took the plunge of making a career in sports in India can be challenging and demotivating. An Indian parents or teachers, being part of the society, don't consider sports as a career. They have the biggest influence in a child's future ambitions. They may scold the child that “playing a sport will get you nowhere in life, but to make a life you need to be good in academics”. In other words, young Indians are discouraged from playing s...

Gangubai - The Oldest but Youngest Sarpanch of Pune

Gangubai Nivrutte Bhambure gets up at 5 am to do household chores. She is a 94-year-young sarpanch of Bhamburwadi village and holds the distinction of becoming oldest sarpanch in Pune district. Gangubai believes in hard work. She says it's time to work for the people, her people, otherwise it's of no use of her becoming a sarpanch . She says she will not disappoint them who trusted and endowed her with the chair of the sarpanch . The first task would be to help farmers from seven villages who own 1000 hectares of land, but due to lack of water, they can't grow anything on it. According to Gangubai's grandsons, there is a canal less than 2km from these farms but they don't get a drop of water. The government had failed the people. Gangubai is keen to take PM's help in this matter and she is very optimistic that PM will respond to her request. She says that PM Narendra Modi is like her son and he will definitely help her and the farmers. Her other priorit...

Education Emergency — Why Schools Should Open Its Doors

One sector which is silently hit by the Covid-19 pandemic the most is the education. As a precautionary measure, schools were the first to be shut even before a formal announcement of lockdown. After all, education doesn't come under the umbrella of essential services. According to the data from UNICEF, schools for more than 168 million children globally have been completely closed for almost an entire year, and more than 888 million children worldwide continue to face disruptions to their education due to full and partial school closures. In India, only one in four children have access to digital devices and internet connectivity. There is a large rural-urban and gender divide which is why not everyone is able to benefit the digital revolution. Such vulnerable children unable to access remote learning might never be able to get back to learning even after the pandemic fades away, and could be easily exploited as child labor. Shifting Classes Online To those who...

Fifty Six Inches Chest Magic

The recent Manipur ambush resulted in the cold-blooded murder of 20 Indian Army personnel, boiled the blood of Nation. This certainly made PM Narendra Modi quite angry but despite that, he carried out his visit to Bangladesh. Involving in Diplomacy at that time must be very difficult for him. But he did that with ease and also used that platform to remind Pakistan the history that how they have treated Bangladesh in the past and how India despite defeating them had not occupied the land but let it be a new state known as Bangladesh today. I leave the Bangladesh part for another day. The cross-border operation by the Indian Army to finish off the terrorists, who killed our soldiers for no reason, is quite rare. MoD (Ministry of Defence) and MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) along with Myanmar government cooperated in this operation. The operation was a must to show the strength of Indian Army and set up an example that if anyone dares to touch our Men will face similar consequences...
