One constantly needs to keep reinventing and reinvigorating oneself and I am certainly not an exception to this centuries old dictum........
You may vehemently disagree with my posts and keep bemoaning the fact that I mostly highlight all that is wrong with a decaying; hypocritical; patriarchal; deplorable; decrepit; misogynistic and two faced supposedly ancient and progressive society that takes undue pride in suppressing and oppressing it's womenfolk and depriving them of their constitutionally and legally bestowed rights..........
One does not need to look any further than the daily plethora of newspapers and news channels that are replete with heart rending; sordid; macabre; lurid and profoundly disturbing stories of atrocities committed against hapless and oftentimes defenceless women by so called "macho" men who take undue pride in boasting of their "incomparable" sexual drive and virility though the same may be more imagined than real.........
And what is even more galling and condemn able is the fact that our netas; self appointed guardians of morality and last but not the least Lutyens Delhi and other social bigwigs every single time jump to the defence of the accused while continually pointing fingers at the victim and spare no effort to besmirch and tarnish the character and reputation of an already traumatised and agonised victim who somehow or the other manages to summon up the courage and temerity to name and shame her tormentor and unmask him in front of the world........
Continue to mock and smirk at me; then pray what was the stout defence put up by self appointed guardians of morality and social mores of the likes of Shazia Ilmi; Bachchi Karkaria; Rahul Singh; Prahlad Kakkar and many other such notables who only highlighted their deep rooted hypocrisy and two facedness by taking up cudgels on behalf of a rape accused like Tarun Tejpal while sparing no effort in running down and trivialising the accusations made by him by a fellow employee who was handed out a raw deal by a woman editor who should have stood by her like the proverbial "Rock of Gibraltar" and ensured that the accused should have got his just desserts instead of siding with him and leaving the hapless victim to fend for herself.........
The fact of the matter is that yours truly and a few other people like him are committed to setting right the numerous wrongs that plague our ancient culture and society no matter at whatever personal cost and being cast aside as social pariahs and outcasts and boycotted and banned by people who have a vested and self serving interest in maintaining status quo.........
You can continue to do what you have been doing for thousands of year and more; but do not ever lose sight of the indisputable and irrefutable fact that it only takes one to start a revolution.........
