so kyon manda aakhiye jit jamme rajan

Guru Nanak Dev, founder of Sikh religion, believed men and women are equal and therefore women cannot be considered inferior. To woman we married, of woman are we born, of woman conceived, by woman is the civilization continued. It is by woman that the entire social order is maintained. Then so kyon manda aakhiye jit jamme rajan (why call her bad? From her Kings are born)

It seems present India has forgotten this teaching of their mystic Guru like other teachings by the other holy persons. The crime rate against women in India is alarmingly high, India is among the top rated unsafe countries for women, either count it by annual rape cases, dowry killings, home abuse or any other. And after that to cover up their faults the so called matured politicians make such stupid statements “90% rapes are consensual sex” “Women should be married early”. I want to ask Mr. Chautala, will it change the mind set of the rapists? Do the rapists check the marital status of the girl before doing such an inhuman act? The culprit here is the rapist not the girl, so if Mr. Chautala really want to make such statements then, should not he say “Men should be married early”? Or should not the police have made such a law that, men are not allowed to go out of home after 8O’clock in the evening, as they said few months back after Gurgaon debacle. Instead of chanting such dictates against the victim, they should amend their rules to nail the culprits.

I really can’t think – what’s the problem with such youth, and moreover what really is the mind set of these politicians? Does education is one of the reasons or the lack of implementation of strong laws against such crimes or the lack of girls because of female feticide or that Indian mentality which considers pre-marital sex a crime? The problem with India is that it is moving fast into 21^st century, but the male-mentality especially of the politicians and law makers still belongs to 20^th century. Our laws against such crimes are old, and the judiciary staff is even older. Our politicians are old (Avg. age of Indian Parliamentarians is 53 years, Mr. Prime Minister is 80+ and he is ruling the youngest country of the world), and their thinking is even older. We Indians need to change our thinking otherwise we will not be able to survive in the fast pacing world. It’s better to discuss some practical steps to alter the situation then to make such dictates.

Please for god sake amend the age old laws, make hard punishments for such crimes and moreover enforce those laws effectively, this is most important for Indian judiciary.  And our politicians and police need to be educated; they should be given moral lessons for good behavior and understanding the change. Those times are left far behind when the lady of the house was considered only for making chapatis and washing clothes; now they are going out in the world and you need to learn how to behave with these new age ladies. I think Indians are as afraid of the police men as they are from criminals, our police department needs to work on their reputation.

Not related to this topic, but still I want to mention it just for a change in Indian mentality - Stop considering love affairs and pre-marital sex as a taboo, its just a physical need and don’t forget India is the land of Kama-sutra, so what culture we are defending with stupid inhibitions? Presently the average age of marrying is going up, but the age of need or say urge for making love is getting lower, so we need to change with the changing times. But that also seems to be very difficult in a country where honour killings are so common; these people can’t understand love let aside need for sex.

This may also help a little – Legalize prostitution. Accept it or not, prostitution is there in every major city of our country; Don’t the police & politicians know about GB Road in Delhi, Infact Calcutta is one of the major cities for prostitution in Asia. Then why not legalize it? The people who are crazy about sex, they can go there and can satisfy their lust. It will make life easy for the prostitutes also; presently they are living on the mercy of police and mafia. So, legalization will give them a good safe and hygienic life and it will reduce rape cases as the human beasts will be able to get legal paid sex.

I know, It's easier said than done; but we have to at least start somewhere otherwise the time is not far when the Maa Durga or sheranwali will have to go somewhere else as even they will feel unsafe here in India, or they are already gone?
