Anti-male TV serials

December 19, 2006

Now, the mission of women’s organizations is to improve the status of women in the country. Don’t know on what basis they believe that women’s status in the country is inferior. Maybe if they consult a psychiatrist, then we would officially know that they are suffering from paranoia. How will they attain it? 

Apparently, the only solution, women’s group is assuming to improve women’s status is to show men in bad light. Till now they aren’t facing any public objection for slandering all men on television. Surprising, isn’t it? The increase in women-centric serials on television is mind-blowing. It deserves to be called an insane phenomenon. Stressed out working people coming home, would like to watch some refreshing and comical serials to de-stress themselves. They keep on changing channels and they only find one type of women-centric serials on all television channels all at once. If this sort of mental torture is given to a hard-core criminal, he would surely breakdown within a week.  

These women-centric serials have pretty much the same theme. Show women as better than men. Now how will they do that? They first select the target. Not the target audience. Target the part of the society that they feel should be destroyed. Men and Patriarchy. There are endless creative ideas with the writers to show men as criminals.  

The latest serial, ‘Betiyaan – Apni yaa parayaa dhan’ is very fascinating. One family, 2-4 elder daughters and one youngest son. I know you’ll have already visualized what will be shown in this serial. Yes, you’ll are right. The son is shown as spoilt brat, worthless and weak in studies and drunkard. Daughters, on the other hand, Yes you guessed it right, are shown responsible, mature, hardworking, cultured, and an obedient child. There is a lead actress supposedly the eldest of all is a very scary woman. She is always on the slapping spree. Watch just one episode and you will see her slapping different men three to four times. This sort of behaviour on television is a direct encouragement and inspiration to all women that slapping a guy is fine and justified. Are they not worried that this can easily increase domestic violence on men? It seems that is exactly what they want. In the famous movie, ‘Harry Potter’ the girl is shown punching another boy and men’s groups had objected because this sort of visual will only increase violence in women. They are quite justified in their objection.  

Anti-patriarchal value serials like, ‘Thodi khushi, thoda gum’ is yet another classic. The head of the family, a male, is always made a scapegoat. The daughters-in-law are superwomen. They are invincible, impeccable and always right. The world would have been heaven if this was true. Anyways, the serial is doing well to crumble the patriarchy system of the society but ironically, the value system of patriarchy of protecting and providing women should still remain. Well, that is quite understandable seeing the way women usually think. They want to have the best of both the worlds. Eat one’s cake and have it too.     

There are innumerable women-centric serials on air at the moment. All have the same theme with different stories. Degrade male gender so that women’s status is improved. Show men as oppressors, criminals and show women as victims, innocent and potentially better than men in every respect. Women just love these serials. And men, well men are facing domestic violence which the Government does not want to recognize. Men’s health has been steadily deteriorating because they are cruelly forced by their wife to watch these torturous serials everyday. Phew, now that is some nasty cruelty.  

Let’s see how many more such women-centric serials will come and go. The damage is already been done. Showing men as criminals and women as victims is apparently a winning formula in television serial business.          

Boys too are sexually abused

December 19, 2006

We know that approximately one out of six of all American boys are sexually molested by the time they reach 18 years of age. There is no reason to believe that there will be any less number of boys molested in
India. We do not know how many of these boys are molested by sisters, teachers, baby-sitters and others in position of authority.
 

First, is it true? Can boys be molested? Can they be victims in the hands of not only men, but women too? The answer to these questions is an absolute “Yes!” Yes, it’s true, males are molested too. Yes, it’s true that boys are some times molested by perfect strangers. However, vast majority of boys, who are molested are victimized by some on they know. Perhaps someone they trust very much. Someone in position of authority. They are also molested by mothers, sisters, aunts, baby-sitters, teachers, nuns, music instructors, principals, school counselors, neighbours. So if boys are being molested by all of these kinds of people, why doesn’t the public hear more about this? When a female victim is sensationalized in media, then who would be curious to know about male victims?  

It is estimated that only 10% of molested boys ever make such reports. And even when they do, society tell boys that they should be ‘tough’ and solve problems on their own instead of complaining like a girl. Why don’t boys report when they are sexually abused? Boys are frequently threatened by the perpetrators that speaking up will lead to further violence for themselves and/or others. If the boy has an early sexual experience with an older female they are told they are ‘lucky’. How embarrassing for a male to admit he has been molested by his sister, neighbour, teacher, baby-sitter!  

The unwillingness of boys to report when they’ve been sexually victimized is even greater when the perpetrator is a sister, teacher, baby-sitter, aunt, neighbours and/or someone in authority. Bonding with, trusting and learning from our elders is an essential survival mechanism well-developed in modern day humans. We put our faith in the hands of someone in authority. At least until we learn there is a reason to question the facts which we were fed. They betrayed because these are the ones in life that are expected to protect us the most. Betrayal is a very difficult event to recover from. Betrayal leaves the victim with a sense of guilt. A sense that they “should have known better.” A sense that they are at fault. In fact, these exact messages are frequently fed to the victim by the perpetrator. “You know you wanted it. “”You enjoyed it. “”I don’t do this with others. You’re so special that you made me do it!”These are some of the words used by perpetrators to defend their actions. And the rest of the damage is done by the people who disbelieve the victim. On top of all this is the problem of being believed if one did speak up. Who would believe them? Sisters, teachers, baby-sitters and others in authority, are commonly well-known, well-respected, ‘trusted’ individual of the society. Who is going to believe a child over these people? Pressure exerted by radical feminists, the society has helplessly accepted that women are always victims and men are always the culprit. Under the multitude of conditions addressed above, who would want to speak up? Who would want to admit they have been sexually abused? Teach children ways to increase their safety. Let them know that if they are sexually abused its okay to report it. That they will be believed whoever the perpetrator is. Parents must understand that children are frequently exposed to sexually explicit pictures/videos, which will provoke their sexual tendencies even when they are young. Boys are sexually vulnerable particularly when they are left alone with someone parents believe will be responsible. Excessive trust on someone like elder sister, teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, neighbours could do an irreparable emotional damage to your child. If you don’t hear news of boys been sexually molested that does not mean it is not happening or it could never happen to your child. Especially in India, a female is over-protected and a male is left alone to take care of himself. Many families consider it normal and conventional to leave their male child in under-garments in the house. Such malignant attitude toward male child has never been criticized. Why? It is believed that only and only females have dignity and modesty, males don’t. Such anti-male attitude, sadly, has never been criticized by anybody because of the fact that in India, women are revered and ironically still it is called a male-dominated society. We know that a male-child is much more sexually vulnerable than a female-child because females reach puberty much early than males, but there is hardly anybody out there who is really concerned of protecting male-child.       Think about it.

Justice for Men

December 19, 2006

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2181224.cmsA 45-year old Armogam Munnaswami Kounder walked out of Pune’s Yerawada Jail after spending 11 years in prison on charges of raping and murdering a six-year old girl.  

Although the punishment for such crimes is life imprisonment but he was a free man only after spending 11 years in jail. Why? 11 years isn’t enough for a crime like this, right? But what if he was innocent? What if he was falsely implicated and framed by the police? And that is exactly what happened with this hapless innocent man.  

Kounder was an illiterate sweeper with the Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation. On 1 June 1995, the police came and arrested him. The police showed him the body of the girl and took him to the lock up. Kounder, who was unfamiliar with Hindi or Marathi, made futile attempts to prove his innocence. He was brutally beaten up by the police in the lock-up. Kounder was then convicted. Human Rights Commission need to shut down their organization if they can’t ban third degree torture during interrogation.   

Fortunately, the cop who falsely implicated Kounder committed suicide and also left a suicide note in which he confessed that Kounder was framed by him at the instance of his superiors. The judges then decided to acquit Kounder.  

Now Kounder roams the streets of Pune and was at a complete loss. He went back to
Vellore to try to reunite with his wife and kids who never came to see him after he was falsely convicted. Talk about marriage vows taken by his wife to support her husband in all circumstances.
 

He lost 11 years of his life and also his family only because of the insensitive attitude of the legal system toward male gender. It goes without saying that there are hundreds of prisoners who are falsely implicated and are waiting for someone to come and prove their innocence. But maybe that someone will never arrive because the whole legal system has been engaged in pampering female gender. In order to sensitize the legal system toward female gender, the judiciary aren’t worried about innocent people been falsely convicted in the process of appeasing women groups. For women groups, this is equality and fair play.  

Ask these women groups to rehabilitate Kounder and their answer would be, “That is not our concern.” Yes, their only concern is to take away basic rights of men and also deceive people by saying that it is all part of gender equality process.   

Invisible Men

December 19, 2006

No, this isn’t yet another thrilling fictional story of a man drinking vanishing syrup and becomes invisible. However, such fictional stories would have captured our imagination cozily. This is about men whose presence is invisible. They are physically there but we conveniently not bother ourselves to know that they are there. They are like the white angels of our country, silently doing their work so that we can live happily.  

These men are the common men; those common men without which our country would come to an abrupt halt and it will easily bring our nation down to its knees. They work day and night so that we, the common Indian citizen, can sleep and live comfortably. Most of them are in dilapidated condition, and some are living on the edge so that we don’t have to live on the edge.  

These men have no personal life. We would wonder sometimes, are they born to serve us ceaselessly? They would get up in the morning, even before the birds rise; then they get on with their work so that we don’t have to face the trouble.  

Still didn’t get the idea who these men are?Okay, let me elaborate. Maybe then you would realize why they are called the invisible men. 

The list of men according to the job they do is given below. 

1) Sewage workers: Imagine! We go to the toilet or bathroom and you see the water isn’t passing and you realize that it’s the same with the whole building. What would you do? You probably use some accessories of plumbing in your toilet to get rid of the stuck-up, but no money in the world can persuade you to do it for all the flats of the building. Just because these men, invisible men, chose to do this work where they don’t have to deal with filthy people, but filth itself for meager amount of money to sustain his family, we are here able to flaunt our interiors of our flat to our friends, and some may even have a kinky bath with their partners.  

These sewage workers ignore the dangers of getting infected with some deadly skin disease from filth. Despite the obvious dangers, they continue to work so that we can live comfortably. Think about it. 

 

 

2) Truck/Bus/Taxi/Train/Auto rickshaw drivers: Can you imagine life in this modern fast world without proper transport? Probably you can but definitely you can’t without these men who drive them. Countless truck drivers have no personal life. They eat, drink and sleep in the truck; they live their life in the truck, and also die. We enjoy being in a swanky air-conditioned car having amazing suspension and silent machine with good speed and pick-up, but when we open the window in the middle of a highway, we can’t bear the hot polluted breeze even for a moment. Imagine the condition of these truck drivers.  

Auto rickshaw drivers are the punching bag of the car drivers in the city. Doesn’t matter whose fault is it, invariably, the auto rickshaw driver gets beaten up and we, standing on the bus stop enjoy the scene and share it with our friends enthusiastically. And cops just love these auto rickshaw drivers because half of the bribe collected comes from them.  

Bus drivers are really intimidating, but most of them are surprisingly soft spoken. The conductors have the feet of steel. They stand whole day in a moving bus balancing their feet, moving from one corner to the other, giving tickets and they manage to calculate money amazingly fast. The money and ticket bag that they carry is pretty heavy and most kids love to have one steel box of the ticket. Think about it. 

 

 

3) Waiters/Cooks: It is so boring to cook at home and eat especially on a day of celebration like birthday, anniversary, and parties. It’s so wonderful to go to a restaurant, sit cozily and order something that you want to eat, drink in a royal manner. Its fun, isn’t it? We don’t even have to get up and walk to the wash basin to clean our hands; the waiter will bring a cute bowl filled with hot water and a floating piece of a lemon. Who doesn’t like to be treated royally? These waiters are waiters in the literal sense. Have you ever seen a waiter sitting? They just wait, waiting to serve you.  

They choose this work, which pays miserably, so that they can serve you and see you with a smile when you leave the restaurant. They work from early morning till midnight tirelessly, and they have no holidays. The cooks work whole day in a very hot surrounding under tremendous pressure. They know that one mistake of theirs can easily put a lock on the restaurant. And all we do is work really hard to get rid of the food stuck between our teeth with a toothpick. Think about it. 

4) Firefighters: Fire can cook your food and can even cook your house. They risk their lives so that we are safe. Don’t they have their own family? They do. But, more than their own life and the life of their family, our live and family are important for them. They wear large heavily armoured specially made suits that protect them, only up to certain limit. Whatever you do, wherever you are, they are ever ready to march in and risk their life to save yours and your belongings. These brave selfless men have become mere facilities of a modern city having no human emotions, thanks to our insensitivity.    

 

 

5) Defense: Kids find military, navy and air-force fascinating. All kids must have played with the toys of machines guns, fighter planes, navy ships at one point of time. Many people who are now into medicine, law, banking, computers wanted to join army or air-force or navy when they were young. The gruesome training of these brave men is a fun to watch sitting at home. They stay with their comrades for many months to guard our borders in the rugged mountains of the
Himalayas in the freezing weather with no facilities, so that we can live freely.
 

They yearn for just one opportunity to watch television to rekindle the excitement and vigour into their group. They ceaselessly perform the same task every single day – keeping a vigil at the border. We sometimes watch the parade on 26th January and admire the sophisticated tanks, fighter jets, and weaponries, but we don’t realize that men in blood and flesh with emotions like ours are using these weapons only to keep us safe. Think about it.  

 

 

How would we ever be grateful to these men who subordinated their ambition, money, family, personal safety and dreams so that we, common man, can live happily? Maybe we can’t be grateful because we are shown only the conditions of women. The media is looking at women from a point of view where they believe women are supposed to and ought to and deserve to live like queens, like maharanis of the country. What about men then? Yes, it’s a man’s world where men put their life on the line so that the common man can live happily, and women can live like queens.  

Men are conditioned to live a difficult life without a sigh of complaint and women are conditioned to complaint even when she sneezes. Society is beginning to ‘feel’ for women and is ignoring the ordeals of these men without considering the fact that just because men don’t complain, that doesn’t mean they are enjoying themselves. Do you feel these men are enjoying themselves?  

Ignoring these brave men is only making their life tougher and eventually it will affect every single citizen of the country. Probably that is the time to ask women, who are creating so much fuss about their gender, if they can excel men in these works.  Complaining all the time on petty issues is not Women Empowerment. Get inspired from these brave selfless men instead of trying to live like queens.   

Now you know why they are called Invisible Men.

Good news for Men

December 19, 2006

Have you ever felt the need to share your marital problems to somebody when there is none to hear you out? It is indeed irritating to see organization that addresses only women issues. Now your wait has come to an end. 

There is a significant increase in organizations across the country having the objective of supporting harassed husbands. These organization, comprising of highly educated and experienced people, have understood that in order to attain gender equality, women have demand and attained outrageous legal protection to an extent that men are constantly threatened and victimized.  

What used to be called part-and-parcel-of-married-life for men is now increasingly considered as domestic violence. It is rational that when women are given extravagant legal protection especially on frivolous issues, men should not keep quiet when they are subjected to domestic violence. Men have realized that they will only increase their suffering and ruin their life if they try to save their marriage by continuing to get victimized on a daily basis in the hands of his errant wife.  

Men, usually, are conditioned to tolerate the authoritative and adamant nature of a woman in the family. Women are persuaded to speak out, to fight back on issues that are frivolous, trivial and unjustified. Therefore, these organizations seek to train the minds of men to consider the authoritative and adamant nature of the wife as a potential domestic violence on them. And men are beginning to realize it. 

Most men prefer to keep quiet for not wanting to rock their marriage and women on the other hand, are more than happy to put their husband on the receiving end knowing that the law unconditionally supports them. Men endure blackmailing, intimidation, nagging on a daily basis and nobody can deny it. This, unfortunately, is accepted humorously by the society but when it comes to women, the society assertively comes to the rescue of a woman. Why such discriminatory treatment toward men? 

It is a proven fact that most men fear their wife. And their friends grab this opportunity to make a laughing stock out of their condition. Why? Why a man is not treating such authoritative behaviour of his wife as domestic violence? Some men say, “It is alright, she is after all my wife.” Then why does a wife not think on the same lines? Why the law has given outrageous legal support to women in cases where it is absolutely irrational to even complain to the cops against their husband?  

This double standard of the society has led to increasing number of men committing suicide because there is none who could come to their rescue or help them out from a bad marriage. Who is responsible? The biased laws or the people of the society who still wants to live blindfolded when a man is facing marital problems. 

However, all this is about to come to an end because men’s organization are beginning to form in various parts of the countries to support harassed husbands, provided people understand the necessity of protection to men also. When women are in a position to seek legal help on frivolous issues and bring her husband to his knees, then why not a man has the legal support to protect him from such legal intimidation from his wife?  

Women groups, shamelessly, continue to defend their fraudulent activities to deceive the innocent people of the society. They continue to criminalize male gender and portray that women are the only victims in the society. They also refuse to accept the reality that men are increasingly being harassed by their wife. However, soon these women groups will not be able to defend themselves because people will naturally understand that now, more than women, men needs legal protection.   

Men are beginning to flood the internet with thousands of blogs to increase the awareness about women going to extreme lengths to victimize men. Most women strongly dislike such a development on the internet, which is apparently, unmasking their life and their deception. And some men aren’t able to digest that women could ever be so bad. However, the response of most men on the internet is highly encouraging because they are able to observe the hidden deception behind Women Empowerment.  

These organizations have 24 hour helpline to provide all the necessary counseling and support to these harassed husbands. We can achieve Gender Equality only when both the genders is given adequate legal protection so that either one of them cannot harm the other. There is lot to be achieved for men’s rights. This is just the beginning.

Indian husbands becoming slaves

December 19, 2006

Husbands are beginning to learn cooking and, needless to say, they are cooking better than their wife. It has to be because the best cooks in the World are males. Husbands are learning to cook for the obvious reason that their wife are too lazy to cook. Lazy or authoritative?

Sati Savitri of today turning her Pati Parmeshwar into a Barwarchi (Cook)
A television actress Pratichi has done what every woman dream of. She forces her husband to do household chores, cook for the family, rebukes him in public, threatens to divorce him and demands money for furnishing their house. Amusingly, she is working in television soap where she is playing the role of sati savitri (ideal housewife). Irony or what??

Her husband Shradanand Mishra feels that if he wants to see his wife Pratichi in Sati Savitri avatar, he has to switch on the television and watch Saat Phere (Zee Tv). She plays an ideal housewife in the serial. What about in her real life?

Shradanand Mishra, who works with Maharashtra Seamless Limited as a Senior Manager, is fed up with his wife’s upper-handed ways.

Shradanand and Pratichi studies law in the same college in Varanasi. They fell in love and got married 14 years ago. Quite so, maybe she was a born actress acting sati savitri from the start and that which attracted innocent Shradanand toward her. They have an 11-year old daughter.

Shradanand was very supportive when she was working as a radio anchor and tried her luck in working in serials. He says, things started changing a year back when Pratichi started bagging better roles in serials like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Lavanaya and Saat Phere.

She stopped doing household chores. Shradanand ended up having to cook for the family. “I cook lunch and dinner for my wife and kid. I have even stored the numbers of vegetable vendors on my cell phone.” Well, Pratichi must be enjoying herself royally for making every woman’s dream come true – turning husband into a slave.

“She has been misled by her friends from the television fraternity. As a husband, I used to ask about her whereabouts when she did not return home late in the night. Her friends used to tell her that your husband shouldn’t interfere with your life,” he alleges. Yes, slaves are not allowed to interfere, right?

He said, “Last year, she threatened to divorce me, but changed her mind later. From the last 7-8 months, she has been demanding Rs 2.5 lakh from me saying she had spent that much on the interiors of our Kandivali flat. I cannot pay this huge amount, as I am already re-paying the loan for the flat. She has also purchased a separate flat without my consent.” Pratichi has proved that every woman in the World believes that men are mere money-making machines.

Pratichi, on the other hand, has a very interesting thing to say, “All the allegations made my husband are bogus. I doubt that he has filed a complaint with the police. Somebody is playing a prank on us. I am staying with my husband and we have no problems.”
Why would she have a problem with her husband when she has turned him into a slave? Quite obvious.

Fearing the worst, he registered a non-cognizable complaint with the Police station saying he should not be held responsible in case she takes some undesirable step. Shradanand, unlike other men, is very well aware the biased laws available in our Indian Laws to over-protect women. He knows that anti-dowry law 498A is so biased that if his wife Pratichi accuses him of dowry harassment, the police will not demand any proof from his wife and it will be his responsibility to disprove her false allegations.

One must appreciate the courage of Shradanand to speak up against his wife’s atrocities. He knows his “Rights”. He knows that being a husband does not mean he will have to do whatever his wife tells him. However, the Government has passed Domestic Violence Bill where a husband will be punished if he does not live like a slave to his wife. No, this no exaggeration at all.

There are approximately 10 crore men who are subjected to domestic violence like the above, but they have neither legal protection nor any Government funded organization by their side to address their issues. These harassed husbands don’t even have the right to express their suffering and say anything against the atrocities of their wife because the society believes that only women are victims of domestic violence, which is absolutely wrong.

Husbands have now become a punching bag of their errant wife, money-making machine and care-takers of wife’s baggage. Not becoming a slave to one’s wife has now termed Domestic Violence on women. Is this fair? Modern women are getting excessively authoritative, and it would be a mistake to not call it domestic violence on men.

Constant nagging, threatening, blackmailing, not cooperating, not talking, insulting are all forms of Domestic Violence on Men. Therefore, men must not keep quiet. Know your “Rights” and complain. You have the right to be happy. Don’t become a slave to your wife to save your marriage because eventually only you will be blamed for tolerating her atrocities, and seeing you living like a slave will have an adverse effect on your children. Speak up. Complain. Do not tolerate wife’s atrocities. It’s your “Rights.”

Congratulations to Shradanand for standing for his “Rights.”

Government against male-gender

December 19, 2006

The Government is doing a great job by ignoring the plight of innocent farmers who have been committing suicide, and the numbers are just increasing with every passing day. First, they enacted a lopsided law (IPC498A) that can easily be misused by women against innocent men, then they proposed reservation bill and now by ignoring farmers, they have proved that they are against male-gender.  

Anti-dowry law has been enacted to protect women from unlawful dowry demands but has now been a formidable weapon in their hands of women to torture their husband and in-laws legally. Even after thousands of false cases coming out and the Supreme Court too have termed this malpractice as “Legal Terrorism”, nothing has been done to stop the misuse of this law. POTA was abolished because they believed that will put the minority at the receiving end, which will put their own political status under jeopardy. What about IPC 498A? This too is massively misused, then why this law hasn’t been changed? No! This is all part of vote bank politics. They want to appease those e.g., Muslims and Women, so that they get enough votes from them to get into political power. Needless to say, the common man and innocent people are suffering.  

Hundreds of innocent men are killed during interrogation process in the police custody. Farmers are committing suicide. Innocent husband and in-laws are falsely implicated under IPC 498A. Media aren’t stopped portraying men as born criminals. There is an increase in male-bashing advertisement to disarm the masculinity of men. There are hundreds of women organizations to look after the women related issues. What about Men? Who will look after the above issues where men are suffering and nobody is interested to help?  

What sort of apprehension the Government is facing in order to establish National Commission for Men? Or maybe the Women groups are against all sorts of help given to men from the Government. This clearly shows that these women groups are totally anti-social elements in the Indian society and it is necessary to curb their so-called activities toward gender equality and women empowerment, which are actually anti-social activities. Human Rights Commission has just become an organization having no powers and therefore, it becomes imperative that National Commission for Men be established to provide healthy and peaceful environment for the citizens of
India.
 

No! The Government is only concerned with appeasement of Muslims and Women. Men are mere animals for the Government. They don’t care if one man dies or one thousand men. They only want political power. And so men will continue to suffer and die and women will continue to carelessly giggle on the way they are given legal rights to do absolutely anything they want to. After all, women are shown as if they can never ever commit a crime, they can never ever lie, they can never ever misuse laws, and they can never ever have any bad intentions. Well, people might not see the reality on television but they do realize what’s happening to the new generation of women and so, even if women are continued to be portrayed as only victims, people know who are the real victims in our society as of now – men.

Let Men die

December 19, 2006

According to a comprehensive survey conducted by IGIDR, age-adjusted Suicide Mortality Rate for males increased from 17.4 in 1995 to 20.3 in 2004 and that for female decreased from 13.6 in 1995 to 10.8 in 2004. Even in 1995, males committed suicide more than female. In 1995, 4984 females committed suicide and 6882 males committed suicide. In 2004, 4826 females committed suicide and 9903 males committed suicide. Male/female suicide ratio is about 1.89. 

Marital status-wise Suicide mortality rate only in
Maharashtra are – not married: 8.7 males, 6.8 females; married: 30.6 males, 15.4 females; widowed: 38.7 males, 7.0 females and divorced/separated: 135.9 males, 30.3 females.
 

The distribution of causes of suicides only in
Maharashtra suggests that for males 31% is due to family problems (wife), 8% is due to mental disturbance, 24% is due to illness, 11% is due to economic reasons, 1% due to love affairs.
 

The total number of farmer suicide increased from 1083 in 1995 to 4147 in 2004. Suicide Mortality Rate for male farmers more than trebled from 17 in 1995 to 53 in 2004, but for females the trend fluctuated to reach the peak of 12 in 2001 but thereafter it has been declining.  

978 male farmers committed suicide in 1995 against only 105 female farmer suicides. 3799 male farmers committed suicide in 2004 against only 348 female farmer suicides. From 1995 to 2004, suicide death in
Maharashtra alone increased from 11866 to 14729. This increase is largely among males. Total suicide deaths for females have been declining after 1999.
 

From the 111 suicide cases under survey analysis, basic particulars of the deceased indicate that 91% were males, 71% were below 50 years of age, and 80% were currently married.  

NCRB shows 45% men and 25% women commit suicide after marriage in
India. 23000 married men commit suicide due to domestic violence.  
 

Enough of number crunching and lets get back to the essential facts what the society are induced to believe in. “Let males die”. This is the message sent to the people by women organizations by way of aggressive male-bashing advertising campaign and male-bashing television serials. Their only ambition is to empower women to a biblical proportion so that males are liable to work as slaves on the whims of females.  

These suicide numbers are actuals and not based on some questionable mathematical formula used in determining sex ratio. However, it seems women organizations have found a way to sustain their dying organization by focusing on undeserving issue of female foeticide. It is understandable to get obsessive about a non-issue because when women are getting stronger, thanks to ludicrous legal rights given to them, women organizations are left with idleness and therefore they want something to be raised to sustain their organizational activities.   

Apparently, if somebody wants to form an NGO and like to procure funds, both domestically as well as internationally, then they are advised to address women issues. Everybody is cashing in on addressing women issues. Besides, fabricating fake statistical reports on women’s status in
India can be easily prepared and funds can be procured, which usually end up in going into administration expenses of the NGO. The end result – increase in male-hating attitude in women.
 

The fact remains the same whether people are induced to believe otherwise that male’s condition in
India is worse than females’. And women organizations, in association with advertising agencies, television serials and news media, are doing everything they can in their powers to portray females as victims of males. Let’s see how long their deception lasts.

Men’s status in India

October 30, 2006

Men have proved that they will continue to follow the tradition of the country – protecting and providing women of the society. In this process, even if he stands to lose, the society will not tolerate their deviation. Women in the Indian culture are revered for their sanctity, modesty and sacrificial attitude toward children. The culture is destroyed. Now women are clad in skimpy clothes flaunting their bodies to attract and seduce men and also continue to demand the same reverence from the society. It is unfair for intelligent people but it is perfectly fair according to women. Quite rightly so as they stand to lose if they allow anybody to look at them with less reverence, even after shedding all their sanctity, modesty and sacrificial nature, which we are now seeing in modern women.  Men in India have brought up to protect and provide women and they have helplessly accepted it. He is demanded to behave responsibly and he must always think first about his family welfare and never about himself. That can easily be proved when we see men working in the most inhospitable environment, doing hazardous jobs, slogging in the scorching sun only to feed a two square meal to his family. Has this sort of sacrificial code of conduct of men ever been revered or praised? Never. They have always been money-making machines of the family.  

Now, after the women empowerment campaign, the condition of men is deteriorating to a dangerous level. The legal system and the political system conveniently makes a scapegoat out of a man for their vested interest. Police, who are under pressure from their peers to solve the case, will implicate an innocent man and as far as confession is concerned, police hire hefty monstrous men to give these innocent men third degree. Bollywood has always made a point that whenever a woman is in trouble, a man comes to rescue her and beats the crap out of a male villain. And women obviously stand to gain to maintain a piercing competition and hostility between two men. The mindset is so much altered by movies that people spontaneously come to the conclusion that if a woman is complaining, then the man has to be at fault and should be punished. Credibility of women in India is stupendous.  The lifestyle of men has always been ignored for centuries. It is not a rare sight to watch an unassuming man peeing on the side of the road. Women, as usual, think that they are men and so they have no shame. But the Government is more interested in beautifying posh locality instead of providing essential sanitation and public toilets at key spots. Most poor men would be seen bathing near a water tank on the side of a road and people never think that they are helpless because they have no other alternative to keep themselves healthy. There are hundreds of urchins roaming around the city streets but you will hardly see a girl child wearing nothing, but you will see plenty of male children with no clothes. There are many rural areas in the country where women are heavily clad along with their daughters but male child is always kept naked. This is seen on not only roads but also in good homes. It is highly disgusting and disappointing to see people’s indifference and lack of sensitivity toward these little boys who are actually being sexually abused openly. 

A husband is not immune to his wife’s vicious nagging that goes on ceaselessly. But men have accepted it as a part and parcel of a married life. Every man who is about to get married is always teased with statements like, “Now you are dead, you will be sacrificed like a goat and you will have to keep a smiling face.” Conversely, when a woman is about to get married, she is meticulously taught with statements like, “Keep your husband under your control.” Amazingly, we all know about it but we still remain skeptical when a man complains of being harassed by his wife. To add insult to injury, women have introduced domestic violence bill wherein the wife will have a legal license to drag her husband to jail if he resists her domination. Alarmingly, there is hardly any aggressive objection from men on such laws that will strangulate their individuality, identity and freedom. And women, they are constantly reminding the society that they are women and so men is obligated to protect and provide women with no exception whatsoever.  It is already late but it is better late than never to realize and accept the fact that men have always been a weaker gender and a second class citizen of the country. A citizen who is born to grow up as money making machine and act as a pet dog to their wife in order to maintain the traditional culture bombarded on him since centuries. If we men won’t understand another man, then who will? And women have conveniently defamed our brotherhood as male chauvinism. Think about it.
