MORal poLICE

The mangalore incident comes at a time when India enters its 60th year of being a republic, a secular, sovereign country. Ironic ?? its disgusting....and sickening....and the whole political jargon (as always) is not helping the cause. Anyone who has an audience is jus about ready to jump off their seat except...not one of them has the mind to say the right thing....idiots !!!!
The Sri Ram Sena....shiv sainiks...raj thackrey...calling themselves moral....bloody goons....let them attack a group of jats drinking away to glory and causing trouble....let them attack the gruesome rapists....let them attack the bribery...let them do something constructive to show their beliefs and then we'll talk. But no....the only way to show their 'morality' is by hitting a group of innocent girls...beating them while the world watches....its moral eh. i fail to understand....what is it....a means to gain publicity for that is what all the news channels do...make overnight celebrities out of criminals....or is it power....ofcource it only adds to the 'disgust' factor that even after grotesque incidents such as these there is scope for it.
These idiots will not find it immoral to ogle at women (imperative of what they wear) and even little girls...tease and abuse them....drink and smoke up every night and then go home to beat their wives and kids. What do u call a society that has different sets of morals for men and women....id call it the 'Indian Society'. its right there....glaring at everyone's face....its unfair and 'immoral' but its accepted....blindly in 99.9% cases....in the name of culture and tradition.
As if this wasn't enough...the head of the National Commission for Women...goes and files a case against the pub...citing that the pub had no measures for security....and hinting in a very diplomatic and low way that perhaps the goondas has been right !!! huh !!! its soooo political and indian....never focus on the issue at hand...and im only hoping the lady was dumb coz its political connotations will be worse. " As a citizen of this country.....I ask....why should i need security gaurds to protect me from my own countrymen. Why cant a girl be alone and not care a dime. Is it tooo much to ask...respect and freedom ?"
I mean really...why is it such a sin to be a girl in this country ? its as if....u dnt need to have to commit a crime...just be born as a girl !! This is how shallow we are as a society...and im ashamed and sick of it. since time immemorial...women have been oppressed and exploited in the name of 'culture and tradition'....and it is really about time to take notice of it and to stand up against it. and unfortunately....its all strewn over our scriptures as well. Draupadi cheer haran in the Gita is the most sickening incident which has been glorified since ages now...it ws slated to be a 'communal rape' of sorts...right in front of everyone's eyes....and not one of them moved an inch...in the name of what....dharm....huh....the men gamble and the woman has to pay the price for it. WHY ? another one is the 'agni pariksha' in ramayan....first the torment of being kidnapped by ravan...and then....the ordeal of proving to the world one's innocence. why does it have to be so hard for women....and yes....ive heard it a zillion times...its how its always been. my question is WHY ??? What for ???
i could go on and on...but with every word...the disgust is growing.....I have lost hope....and my patience has run its course...
but ill await the day...when it would cease to matter...
