DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS........

And the madness that seems to have inflicted the Indian man when it comes to matters pertaining to women and their bodies continues unabated.......


In the first instance or incident, a husband (man) allegedly slit the throat of his wife (woman) and compounded her misery or then inflicted the ultimate insult of them all on her by carrying her body around in full public view for more than an hour or so after slitting the woman's throat......

This grotesque and horrifying incident played itself out or unravelled itself within the boundaries of the Mypadu village in Andhra Pradesh's Nellore district; the irate and somewhat deranged murderer kept the rest of his fellow villagers at bay with the aid of a sickle, knife and implied threats about sending any adventurer to an early grave....

One brave villager however had the presence of mind to inform the police who as is their wont arrived suitably late and launched a meaningless and largely hunt for the culprit who had already made good his escape by boarding an auto rickshaw on national highway 5.......

In the second equally horrifying and shocking incident a mentally deranged woman was brutally gang raped at Lakkavaram village in Jangareddygudem mandal of Andhra Pradesh's West Godavari district on Friday evening........

The two assailants were however detained by their fellow villagers and soundly thrashed by the very same before being duly handed over to the local policemen.....

They (the rapists) are currently languishing their heels in jail and have been remanded to judicial custody after the local police force booked cases against them under sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) pertaining to outraging the modesty of a woman, forcibly holding her against her will and rape........

One only wonders when and how this madness that seems to have afflicted the average Indian male will be suitably and permanently cured; community leaders have maintained a studied and stoic silence on this gross violation of human/woman's rights and are yet to come forward and condemn this reprehensible behaviour on the part of the Indian male......

The double standards, intransigence and shocking indifference displayed by the community and society as a whole to the increasingly heart rending plight is mystifying and deeply disturbing to say the very least; we are double quick to affix labels on the foreheads of women and brand them as prostitutes, daayans, witches, charlatans, harlots and so on and so forth......

So why don't we display the same alacrity and agility as far as our menfolk are concerned; the good lord did not differentiate and distinguish between the two sexes so has bestowed the right to do so on humans.......
