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!

Burning Meritocracy - Can India Afford Quotas In Private Sectors?

Earlier this week, the Backward Classes Commission proposed to implement up to 27 percent reservation in the private sector. Some caste obsessed politicians rushed to support this proposal. In the name of social justice, these netas are, in fact, encouraging social injustice. It has been old gimmickry of them to divide the society along the caste lines in order to play vote banks politics. And, those who are born Dalit or within SCs/STs community are supporting or eager to support this proposal to get a job without much difficulty and that would be a privilege for them. Undoubtedly, India's social structure has been highly stratified. And there might be a need for reservation for people belonging to backward castes during the making of the Indian constitution. But in today's India, there are laws which safeguard their interests. During the formulation of the reservation policy, there were not many private companies. So, the policymakers had given reservation to backward c...

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...

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...

The Importance Of Toilets - World Toilet Day Special

A healthy living environment depends on adequate sanitation. Having and using toilets is the first step towards it. In this digital age, still, 2.4 billion people are devoid of using this basic necessity. People have to defecate in the open which is a very immense problem both for the human dignity and the environment. From this practice, inequalities between different social groups are starkly evident. Without sanitation systems, human waste enters groundwater and surface water that allows the growth of certain disease-causing bacteria and worms. Faeces deposited through open defecation contaminate the land. Children playing with the infected mud end up taking that into their mouth that can give rise to diarrhoea and other diseases. Diarrhoea is, in fact, the second leading cause of deaths in children under age 5 in developing countries, primarily due to poor hygiene and sanitation. While there is an importance of toilet for everyone but women and girls need it the most. It is a ...

Kolkata - Drive, Design and Connect

I went to Kolkata with my friends in holidays. We went there via railways, I still remember the great journey from New Delhi to Howrah through Rajdhani Express. We were three friends who agreed to visit Kolkata after a fierce debate. We want to travel to a city we have never been to. But this doesn't mean us to go to a lonely island. We preferred the city that must be well connected with the rest other parts of India and with good roads to drive on because we didn't want our body to be shaken by jerky roads while travelling the city. Kolkata was an ideal choice for us to enjoy our holidays. While reaching the Howrah junction, first we kept noticing the size of the station, the number of platforms and the number of people. I at once said this is too big! All my friends agreed. We also noticed the design and cleanliness of Howrah Junction. It is very much common to the Grand Central station of New York. While we were enjoying the beauty of Howrah junction, one of my friend br...

AAP - The Politics Of Hawabaazi And Dramebaazi

When the new party formed as an outcome of India Against Corruption movement, named as Aam Aadmi Party, we felt quite romantic about it. It was formed with a promise of getting India rid of corruption. There were a lot of expectations from it. People thought ultimately there will be a party which will hear common man instead of big corporates and industrialists. So, people have trusted a man called Arvind Kejriwal not once, but twice! During the 2015 Delhi assembly election, The AAP in its manifesto gave several hawabaazi like providing free water, free WiFi, cutting the electricity Bill to half, opening more schools, colleges and hospitals. From aam aadmi , aam aurat to aam bacche there was something for everyone. All this was to lure voters. And, seriously all these promises were no less than winning a jackpot. So, they have voted AAP. Without hesitation, I can say that the people of Delhi have trusted a wrong man. The so-called aam aadmi can't bel...

The One And Only Viru

Virender Sehwag came as a nightmare for any bowlers, regardless of his pace, spin or looks. The madness of the bowler after taking his wicket could be easily seen on the field. It was a kind of mixed reaction of happiness and spewing out the frustration built by Sehwag. But the dignity of this champion, I presume, is not preserved in the way he retired. The BCCI should have given him a match in which his retirement should be officially announced. We can say that he has taken a right decision because a player of such class can't play Ranji and IPL all his life, well nobody can play even international cricket all his life. He as a youngster played and entertained us to the fullest. Sehwag had represented India in 104 test matches and 251 in ODI with the top score of 319 and 219 respectively. He holds multiple records including the highest score made by an Indian in test cricket, 319 against South Africa, which was also the fastest triple century in the history of International ...
