You Guys have some Manufacturing Defect !!

According to Mohan Bhagwat , the Supreme Chief of  Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, crime against women happen in India not in Bharat. He said this without taking into note that according to Court Data, nearly 75% of the India's rape convictions hailed from "Bharat" and not "India". The data was collated by Dr Mrinal Satish, associate professor of law at National Law University, Delhi.

He also failed to take into account that according to Census 2011 rural population constitute to nearly 68.84% of the population, and the convictions 75% (reported ones). India stands at 132 out of 148 in Gender Equity Index, and the reason attributed to such a critical situation, as according to major researches and surveys printed in various issues of Economics and Political Weekly, the best journal considered in India and one of the best in entire Globe, is definitely majorly due to the subdued position of rural women. Their inaccessibility to education, jobs, pathetic social security, forced marital sex, domestic violence, suicide and list goes on.... Definitely, the urban women are also prone to these(common, that is why we stand first among the G20 countries when it comes to most dangerous country for women), but the situation is much better than that of rural women because several factors such as inaccessibility to education is insignificant as compared to rural population.

In addition to these, the so called Bharat, almost 2500 years ago has written so many scripts on sex that it is worth of mentioning and also we have a special God of Sex like the ancient Greeks, but we have a very different statistics as compared to Greeks when it comes to Women. Perhaps, Mohan Bhagwat can answer this, you know, he is a Genius, he can interpret without any survey or any data.

Another parameter which he failed to take into account is about the hung posters in every office of RSS, Vivekanada and Ramkrishna Paramhansa. How did he forget about Swami Vivekanada who acknowledged West for its credibility for Women which India lacked through so many ages, how did he forget about Sri Ramkrishna Paramhansa who being an illiterate, always hailed and praised women as Durga and was perhaps considered as mad due to his over-attention. 

Was that a clamour from males due to their dismay which he spitted? Or was it a depraved satement?
Well, whatever it was, you Guys seriously have some Manufacturing Defect !!!!!!!

Why India was Conquered?

We all know how many times our country was invaded and how many times it bravely defended itself from falling into the hands of perpetrators. Definitely I am not going to talk about that in this blog, because repeating same type of history once in 6th, then again in 8th and once again (dedicated to our patriotism!!! Congrats) in 10th and finally for most, a Board exam which puts an end to that, clears our concept of "How India was conquered?" and a one line answer to " Why India was conquered?" (definitely due to its enormous wealth). Now, let us focus on the following paragraphs.

Discovery from Discovery of India

While I was going through the book Discovery of India, one of the best written books about India till now, by one of the best men of the world, Jawahar Lal Nehru, in an indigenous way, I discovered this question, Why India was conquered? Unfortunately it varied a lot with what I was taught in my secondary education, and the difference was completely having a profound impact on the way I had thought and the way I had grew. What added to the proof of my perception was an article in the most reputed and perhaps the most clean daily, The Hindu. The article, named "Inaccessible India" written by Rohan Mukherjee dated 13th August, 2013, without any doubt cleared my perverse about the knowledge sharing India. 

In his book, Nehru not only put the conservative Indians who secluded themselves from the rest of the world assuming that not only their culture is the greatest but also their knowledge is. They were so proud of the wealth they possess that only a few Indians bothered to look into the outer world and share knowledge, technology with them. People from nations far away came to India and also hold clergical posts, helped this nation and when went back to their country, went with translated manuscripts for their people. In Baghdad, perhaps a library was established which had a separate section for what their alumni had learned and brought from India. Even in modern days, you visit any library, there will be a massive collection in it which will be Indian. 

But, hail India!!!! What do we have from them, neither you can say nothing nor you can say something. 

From Inaccessible India

While I was having a discussion with one of my Sri Lankan friend on Visa related issue, he made his point that one has to go through relatively tougher rules in case of India as compared to other SAARC nations. I thought that it may be part of his hatred due to the old Tamil and Lankan controversy. But then came this The Hindu article followed by my own amateur research on this issue. Clear enough, we are strict followers and firm believers of "History repeats itself". When Britain denies visa for education we make an outcry so loud that within the next few days it is resolved. Well, vice-versa is not true. Many of them have stopped making any kind of outcry. Tourism visa is so easy to get but visa for internships, research, and accessing Indian article is so tough to get. Universities simply deny to put their outdated research paper on their websites, going digital is strictly against their principles and definitely, in many cases, it has much to do with sentiments of some of the residing sects. 

Let's Import

We all are completely aware of this fact that what inspired Vivekanada the most in his foreign trips, what imprint it had on us when we went global during Ashoka, and what value we lost when we denied to see Britishers as a threat because they were Alien for us and thus, powerless. For me, India was conquered not because it was invaded but because it secluded itself (and most of them still want to practice the same) in its conservative society. Technology it never practiced and never bothered to practice and test. The extent of negligence it showed and still continues to show when it comes to sharing of knowledge, the extent of underestimating one's culture and denying the forward loop it has on the sheer basis of its few backward, and the best part, being cynic to itself when it comes to financial markets and ingenious products. 

I guess sometime, why our other activities do not reflect as that of our financial market, I mean, we import a lot !!!!!!

Vague Feminists

This world starts with a soul statement and will definitely end with that,"Those who are strong will Survive." Many of us don't like this statement in its many contexts, particularly the way this statement puts those who end. 

When this statement is put to the human race , no doubt, analysis tells that it's male which has dominated female till now, and when female, if by any chance has dominated, rivers of  rumours have flown about her, may be about her character or about the way she dominated. Let us put that aside, and focus on this, why the title 'Vague Feminists' and why feminist as controversial? When it comes to female dominance, they have played a key role, no doubt about that.
Then let me be clear :  this is about those, whose role is apocryphal. 

What's Vague

The entire story concludes that a female should take care of household, and a male that of the outer world. This analysis completely supports this idea that a household job is inferior to that of the outer one, and more than that many of the feminist who support female dominated society thinks the same and wants those women to look out of the window, because its so suffocating inside.  Entire issue starts here.
First of all you all feminist missed the boat here itself, I mean, how can you consider household works as business, taking care of family as business, and let us assume for a while that its a business, then definitely there's an exchange, an what is that exchange - respect, a window which you rejected when you said it's suffocating. Many of you simply failed to realise that it was not what she had expected, what she had expected was sympathy, vitality and affirmation. But Alas!!! you feminists made her job (I will use the term job because you yourself say so, a job with no returns, which you consider detrimental) ascetic, a profession whose value only she can understand. It produced a vagueness of outlook, a divorce from outer world of that profession, a credulity. And definitely it was not what she had expected.

O feminists!!! when you criticise being housewive, you actually yourself are adding fuel to the fire, you yourself are adding number to your clans, who, when will get married to a housewife, will compare her to a business-women or any other working women, which she never wanted, again a feeling of insecurity, which you being a feminist, never wanted. You have to understand this fact that it's not a profession so you should never compare this with any profession. This is a sacrifice you should stop, which you should focus on, that it should not become a profession, may be perhaps a hobby.

The respect which you were never able to give her and perhaps with the prevailing situation you will never give her. Perhaps being a feminist you should focus on this:
those who were successful in assuring a paid work are living their life the way they wanted
And
those who became a housewife are living their life the way they wanted. There is no debt to be paid and there is no need of any sacrifice to be made. You create an anti-female society when you encourage your beloved ones to take as many plate as they want in order to finish their meal, without thinking for a second or warning them at the same time that it is she who will wash those plates.

Females : We simply hate being feminist

Now for those, who are particularly working women, I mean, who despite their equal work, are denied equal wages and respect. Often they lose respect because of their own counterparts which is a case to be weighed properly. Wherever I entered and heard any rumour regarding any female, and when I tried to find the root weed, unfortunately, don't know why it turned out to be a female. As if they have accepted their own helplessness. If you yourself admit that you have fallen, it means you are dead. And here I remember Shakespeare ,"Cowards die more than once." 
I am not tagging you as Coward, I am just making my point that if you despise yourself, then even God is not yours !!!

Checking Wrong Corruption

Well let us examine this point, is vigilance active today, more than ever, as it was in its past, the day it was formed? Well, the answer could be yes and those who say NO, will probably be talking about the era before the emergency in India, the result of which the "post Emergency", had profound impact on administration which led to nothing but supine inclination towards supremacy, whatever its form may be. Political and bureaucratic sycophancy increased to such an extent that every policy was nothing more than an economic elixir for those who were the Guardians.

Need of Vigilance
In India Central Vigilance Committee (CVC) was formed in 1964, and the norms of its operations were laid, that it was supposed to work through CBI or through other means, but it was not an investigating agency in itself. Well rules are the same even today and don't expect a Godly power for CBI, when it comes to execution of a case, policy makers and policy executors play their dice. Despite of these drawbacks we should take pride that till now it has arrested many bureaucrats, framed charges against puissant political figures (some positive aspects could be drawn from this), and so many official staffs. The best part about this is that the complaint you put against some government representatives are heard often. But despite its regular performance, which could be justified through news particularly of those which are printed in local press, it has always been considered imbecile. Why? I think its a sixty five thousand dollar question when one digs the causes deep within and the events turn out to be apocryphal.

Hunting down the Wrong Parasites 

Vigilance, the day after it became active, developed a sense of hatred among those who were analysing its impact profoundly and even among those whose analysis were based on anecdotes. The reason, definitely is genuine. Of all the arrests which vigilance made till date, turned the table against them, instead of co-operation from public they beared the blame of turncoats. The reason, obviously, their failure in making the system "Holy". Now, if they are making arrests, whether of low or of those who are considered high (definitely autocratic), even then if they receive such a hospitality, then either the situations and conditions are vague or the results are. But in most of the cases the situations have been proved correct with full backup, then it definitely points to results. Let us look and examine some results.

Most of the public of this great India,young or old, which once had witnessed youths like Khudiram Bose and Bhagat Singh, unfortunately is under the shackles of those who just want their resources for themselves. Most of the population is directly or indirectly involved  in a business which runs on the government's mercy. So if Vigilance arrests public servants like Marketing Officers (who charge Rs. 6 per sack of cereal) or a Block Development Officer (who asks for a percentage in even the Widow pension scheme), then it certainly involves those who are a part of mob, may be just a bit powerful, because a chapati is not cooked with a lone hand, definitely you need the other. Now if you look at those who are arrested for such penalty, they have to pay the Godfathers who are certainly among those or controlling those who are making arrests. And after these arrests, those who belong to the class of being arrested, try to change their living conditions but fail to do so, reason- the unconditional demands from the Godfathers remain unchanged, trying to cope up with what it has lost from these recent arrests.  This sparks their wrath, among those who are arrested and among those who were earning through them, and since they constitute the majority, vigilance is praised only in the media uptill the next very day.

The demand is simple, instead of ruling among the hearts of local newspapers, vigilance should take leap among the nationals also the way today SC has taken in many issues. But alas! those days have become road-not-to-be-taken for Vigilance, may be because it's not autonomous or may be because it doesn't want to. The hatred among the common mob and its authenticity can not be justified but what could be and should be drawn is that CVC can not proceed this way. One example is of an IAS officer who when caught red handed while taking a bribe of Rs. 1 crore in Bangalore, threatened the vigilance officers of filing a case  against them under Harizan act, the blame being an obvious one, that he was being trapped and continuously harassed by them. They had no other option then to turn back because what Harizan act needs is just five witnesses and the ticket is booked for an unknown penalty. What could be drawn from here is, lawmakers have made it so weak that law can not protect itself from being misused.

Example could also be drawn from Indonesia which has emerged as a boisterous democracy where those who are the most powerful and most corrupt, are praying for favour and blessings not from God but from Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi or KPK, which is an anti corruption agency powered with all the desired tools, it has not only investigative powers but it is also empowered to punish culprits with punishments which are congenial to the country so that it can be safe from their milching. Due to KPK's strong hold, police and many others tried to frame charges against its members, but wide public protest in favour of KPK and the rigid behaviour of KPK members, the court came forward and absolved them from all those charges. The juggernaut of KPK in Indonesia after the downfall of terrific military dictator Suharto has changed the course of country to a very large extent, and it has started taking India on HDI parameters one by one.

But the best part is that KPK is the lone player, I suppose, because still Indonesia is 20 ranks behind India in Corruption Perceptions Index. If Indonesia can show its determinacy in reviving itself, then why not India which is enjoying democracy for 60 years.


Hope in the Future

Well with the job index falling in India one could definitely expect a reform. In 2001 the job index or the job proportion (government is to total workforce) was standing around 5.0 in India as compared to near 1.0 in most of the developed countries and in China it was around 1.3. Well it has certainly fallen from 5.0 but not that good even today. What it reflects is that if more no. of people are engaged in private sector when jobs are in required proportions, then definitely the demand for reform will be firmer. The demand for Janlokpal, the recent proposal of CIC for the inclusion of political parties under RTI, the ongoing debates on whether to make CBI a constitutional body or not, digitisation  of public policy and their successful executions like that of PDS in Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and digitisation of Rashtrapati Bhawan, these all are pointing towards a positive future, let us hope not for another crisis in this sector, because its running short.
