Dear Friends, Fellows and Right Thinking Men,
The unabated spate of rapes and other crimes against women that have been unleashed on the nation like a deluge off late, have not only caused heartburn and despair amongst right thinking men but also unleashed an unbridled urge to do the right thing by taking matters into their own hands and setting matters right in a civilised and dignified manner.......
Let's make a start by educating our misguided brothers about the unique status accorded to womenfolk in our society and acquaint them with the fact that women have been largely venerated and worshipped by Indians since the days of the Indus Valley Civilisation........
Women have always been looked at as mothers, sisters, wives, daughters and intimate friends so why has the exalted status being accorded to them since times immemorial undergone a drastic change in recent times and why have they been reduced to nothing more than mere objects of sexual gratification and outlets for pent up frustration.........
A significant majority of us also need to seriously introspect and look within, Amnesty International had some time ago put out a profoundly disturbing report which concluded that 71% of all married Indian men rape their wives three times or more during the course of a week, and also highlighted the deplorable fact that more than 81% of children below the age of 10 are sexually abused by either a blood relative or then by somebody from their immediate neighbourhood......
Sex determination tests of foetuses are on the upswing and abortions of female foetuses are at an all time high and government of India figures show that such tests and termination of pregnancies are carried out by so called educated couples in more than 85% of all such cases; one wonders whether a society and nation that does not accord womenfolk their due respect and honour has any right whatsoever to call itself "modern" and "developing"????????
Our studied silence and penchant to look the other way whenever a crime against a a hapless and defenceless occurs by saying that we are not the perpetrators of the same is simply not helping matters, but only serving to kindle the misplaced bravura of these sexual predators even further........
Let's all take a pledge here and now about all of us right thinking menfolk doing our bit by pledging our unstinted support to all such initiatives aimed at elevating the status of women within our male dominated society, enlighten, educate, uplift and eradicate should be our motto and governing principle and we should only have one aim that of making a significant difference.........
Identify, isolate and close down all clandestine and surreptitious sex and gender determination clinics in your immediate neighbourhood; operating and running such clinics is a cognisable offence under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the authorities will more than willingly help you in putting paid to the nefarious deeds of a few mammon obsessed doctors and medical practitioners who are out to make a fast buck through any means whatsoever.........
Initiate such relief measures like anti dowry cells and bodies, rope in the help of NGO's and local authorities in setting up these noble ventures, educate, enlighten create awareness about the evils of dowry and also make due arrangements for communal and dowry free marriages where the mutual consent of the couple in question is the moot question and sole governing dictum.......
Women are certainly not the weaker sex; if anything they are far more emotionally stable, mentally tougher and spiritually superior to us menfolk; so the onus of protecting them and ensuring that they are accorded their due status in society without any further ado falls on us, so let's take the first steps towards this social revolution immediately and make sure that all digressing menfolk are put in their rightful place....
