The real culprits of Meerut Gang Rape

A 20-year-old Girl who taught Hindi and English in the Sarawa village madarsa in Kharkhauda area, In her complaint alleged that the village pradhan Nawabkhan, madarsa official Sannaullah and a few of their aides took her to the madarsa of Dautai village of Hapur district on July 30, a day after Eid. There she was gang-raped, compelled to convert and her name was also allegedly changed. They then took her to Muzaffarnagar where she was kept in confinement. 


Going by the rumors, there are more girls trapped and the atrocities don't stop at what you have read. (use your fertile imaginations) When the News Media has turned a blind eye on the whole issue, rumors are the only source of information. Obviously, this media blackout exists in order to maintain the sensitive 'communal harmony' of the state and Nation. The very same intellectuals that tirelessly have been making riotous noise on every platform for the protection of our secular ideals have suddenly disappeared. 

There is much more to this case than what meets the eye. I penetrate into deeper layers of the sequence and find the two Muslim Men NOT responsible for the act. I quote Mulayam Singh on this,"Boys make mistakes." Yes, you read this right. The fault lies somewhere else. Where? Let us use the art of logical deduction and find out the answer.


Lets start with the question, what if the venue was an Ashram? Oh wait, that sounds familiar. yes, Asaram! They ran media trial on him for months! Also, I recall Nirbhaya's case when one of the Rapists name, Raam Singh, was also dragged into a question, while one accused's name never came out. I'm sure, the readers can see what I'm pointing at. Just a few days back when a Shiv Sena MLA tried to force feed the substandard quality food to the one who served it to make his point, Media ran the news 24x7. I can site many such examples. Why selective outrage by media and intellectuals? Skewed Secularism? 

Now that we have established that the media is biased, let us try to find what caused it. 

Remember the violence witnessed by Mumbai, Patna and other cities by 'Peaceful' protesters who marched out chanting slogans in protest of violence against Rohingya Muslims in some other country...in Myanmar? Remember people out on roads holding placards about saving Gaza and shouting slogans against Israel? I'm sure you do. 

Now, remember People shouting slogans protesting against injustice on Kashmiri Pundits? Remember people on streets marching to support IPS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal? Remember people in other parts of India marching in support of Bodos and against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants? Remember outrage against Jove Jihad? No, you dont. Right? Why? because Hindus never went out and marched for themselves. Hindus 
have taken the lesson of Secularism and all its skewed interpretations too seriously and tried to avoid every issue that involves another community's members as perpetrators. Sure, they may march out with candles when they are sure that there is not any 'communal' angle to it. I am yet to see an angry Hindu mob that comes out marching on road shouting slogans, let alone harm public property for something that concerns exclusively their own kind. You might feel inclined to point out the Ayodhya issue, but those were the times when Yusuk Khan was known as Dilip Kumar and the difference in population of the Majority and 'the' minority was huge, since most migrated to Pakistan. 

Crux of the matter is if you want Media to pay heed, go violent. If you chose to use peaceful means like courts and expect the government to do everything for you, know that the media will turn a blind eye. 

So, in the end who do I find are the real culprits? Not the perpetrators, not the media, not even the government... the burden of responsibility for this situation is on every Hindu who in his enthusiasm to maintain a secular image turned a blind eye to issues relating to her/his community that cried for attention. 

This was rape, twice, on - 1. The Girl's body. 2. The victim's religion. 
The perpetrators knew well that they would go unpunished for both the offences. They knew well that the media will look the other way if caught. All this was possible because Hindus have burdened themselves with pseudo-Secular ideals... which in essence are communal...communal against their own community. 

There is a silence in the flock of News channels... faint cries of outraged few demand justice. If the justice is not served, take it down, we are heading towards a storm.

Baking bread on Pyre - ABP News

Monday 09/06/2014, Time: around 2 pm.

"how serious is this?"
"How serious? I've lost my friends. How serious do you think this is?"

An ABP News correspondent asked this question  to one of the survivors of the tragedy for a special News report on the unfortunate drowning of 24 students from Hyderabad in Beas River in Himanchal Pradesh. Allegedly, the students were clicking photographs when Hydro electric power project opened its flood gates sending tonnes of water downstream. Hence, it seems, the News channel chose the title 'Maut ki Photography'. (photography of death)...How Creative! 

 The News host in the studio then continued to question if this could have been prevented. 



Every time a news channel uses a tacky title such as this for a sensitive issue, I'm reminded of a roadside hooker that wears loud makeup and provocative dress to attract customers. On a second thought, this comparison is an insult to sex-workers. 

While the families of those 24 young boys and girls mourn their loss, these vultures with such tacky titles and over-emotional punches bake their bread on pyres.

This is not the first time that I've seen a News correspondent ask such a moronic and insensitive questions. The same has been used in many dark humor scenes in a number of movies - Someone dies in an accident or is killed, and a News reporter is seen with a mic pointed out to the survivor or a family member of the deceased asking, "How do you feel about this?".

These same insensitive bastards take moral high grounds while delivering punch lines at the end of news reports on sensitive issues like rapes. No one and absolutely no one is beyond their criticism, and rightly so. But the moment anyone points fingers at these vultures, they don't lose time in hitting back. One of the best examples of this is when the incompetent Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav retaliated back at the media saying "Crime is only visible in UP to media." We all expect the Yadav Father and Son to take responsibility for the law and order situation in their state and though they are, morally, in no position to point a finger at others, what Akhilesh Yadav said wasn't totally incorrect. 

Last, when Nirbhaya suffered, Delhi won the title 'Rape capital of India' thanks to News Media's obsession with the same kind of news. Currently the title has been won over by Uttar Pradesh. During such times, in their greed for TRP, the same subject is played over and over again. They run their own MEDIA TRIAL on everyone, but when the court acquits the accused of the charges, not a single VISIBLE apology is aired. Will a news correspondent ever let her/his colleague cover any mishap that involves her/his own personal life? I doubt. 

ABP News proudly plays its tagline  - 
"ABP News, aapko rakhe aage" - "ABP News, always placing you ahead". 
Based on the kind of News reporting the channel does, this is how I see it :

RAPEs in UP and Mulayam Singh's butterfly effect


How every word uttered can have far reaching effects can be seen from this example. Pre Lok Sabha elections Mulayam Singh Yadav was reported saying "Boys make mistakes." and today News Channels are flashing this gruesome News ! It takes no special logic to come to conclusion that such audacity in perpetrators draws its strength from Mulayam Singh's words and such people who defend the criminals. 

Would you now again repeat your moronic words, Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav? I DARE YOU. 

you dare say "Boys make mistakes"?... wait and watch...

We Men, Brothers-Fathers-Husbands-Friends, and Women of India shall soon rectify all such mistakes...

 "Sab Pavitr kar denge!"

Please, let there be Male infanticide

WARNING: Most women may find this article disturbing and offensive. If you prefer mental peace over truth, this piece is not for you; and if you do chose to read it, do so till the end of this article. Thats a humble request.  

I'll bet you'd agree that problems that women face in our society immensely outmatch male problems and hence no one talks about the latter. Right? Think again.

Lets compete in misery, shall we?
While it is easily acknowledged that females face more sexual abuse than males, Let me tell you, worldwide more than 10% rape victims are males. Theres been always a sizable share of false rape cases and with tougher rape laws that favor females, there is a tremendous rise in it.  In Gurgaon alone, Live-in relationships, failed, account for 21.6% of rape complaints. I leave it to the readers' imagination to calculate an approximate percentage, accounting for the other false definitions of rape and other reasons for false cases. 
More males suffer from child sexual abuse as compared to females (52% boys and 47% girls). So, Males not only suffer sexual abuse, but also false allegations of sexual abuse. Do females suffer the latter?

The anti dowry law, article 498A has been misused by several women. every 9 minutes a married male commits suicide in India which is almost double as compared to females. Also, remember all those Farmers and businessmen that committed suicide due to economic problems? They were Men. 

Men are expected not to share their problems because it is 'unmanly'. If a man goes around telling about abuse and physical violence from wife, people around will laugh at him and tell him to be a man. These ignorant people think, women can never physically or emotionally abuse men. Our society has reached to a point where every male, even before he steps into adulthood, is starved for even an emotional touch. No! if you are a man, you may not hold hands with a female nor hug her. Females may get emotional, even cry and score brownie points for it; a male does it and he gets the title 'Pansy'. Males are forced to abandon their emotions, and when the same is done, the complain is that he is too unemotional.

Money generally decides if his proposal to a girl may be accepted or rejected. In India, for a girl, no career generally means an early marriage; for a man, it means a life of insults, neglect and loneliness.

While Males stand in protests against violence and other crimes against women, our society lives in a constant denial about Male rapes, child sex abuse and other male issues. Why otherwise there would only be a National commission for Women, and none for Men? There are enough banners, posters and ads talking about 'Real men', Its high time we start talking about 'A Real Lady'. Media with its unhealthy obsession with news that catch eyeballs, have successfully spread a Female Rape and sexual abuse pandemic in India, while keeping mum on male issues, and so making people believe that only females suffer and only men commit crimes.

It would be a relief, if instead of females, it were males to suffer infanticide. Its much better not to be born than to live a life of misery and yet be labelled an animal. 

Didn't we start out demanding gender equality? Then why, in process of empowering one gender are were heading towards suppressing the other?

On this Women's Day, I request Ladies everywhere to show their support for the men in their life - their Father, brothers, friends and ofcourse Boyfriend/Husband. Japan is already facing a huge gender rift; majority of its population prefers to stay single (61% of single men aged 18-34 have no girlfriend; 49% of women unattached). Lets not allow this to happen in India too. Men and Women are like lock and key, without one the other shall lose its purpose. While we demand Men to respect Women, Let us not forget to ensure the same the other way round.

Happy Women's Day
