Gurgaon: The Giurgaon Police has hit the headlines for the wrong reasons, once again. This time for not lodging an FIR against the bouncers and the manager of Saffire Pub at JMD Regent Plaza, who allegedly thrashed three persons on Saturday night.
Relatives of the youths, who are still in the hospital gheraoed the police station on Sunday night and demanded immediate arrest of the culprits.
After the protest, the police recorded the statements of the victims on Monday afternoon. The Assistant Commissioner of Police Summit Khar said the police are investigating the case and would lodge the FIR if the allegations are proved to be correct.
Navin, Sanjeev and Rajiv reached the Saffire Pub on Saturday night and sought an entry. But the three friends were told that entry for only males is barred. This led to a heated argument, after which the pub's bouncers and the manager beat up the youths black and blue. Rajiv and Naveen received serious injuries and were admitted in a private hospital.
The police were informed, but no action was taken against the pub employees. However, the cops moved only after the relatives gheraoed the police station.

I love my teacher
COMMENTS FROM RECLAIMING NATURAL MANHOOD WEBSITE: THE FORCES OF HETEROSEXUALISATION DON'T EVEN WANT TO SPARE THE SACRED TEACHER-PUPIL RELATIONSHIP -- AS LONG AS GIRLS ARE SAFEGUARDED FROM MEN WHO WANT TO ABUSE THEM SEXUALLY. ACCORDING TO THEM THEY ARE DOING A FAVOUR ON BOYS BY MAKING HETEROSEXUAL SEX WITH FEMALE TEACHERS A NORM FOR YOUNG BOYS

This Teachers' Day, HT City uncovers stories of young people's first crush, on their teachers, and those who recounted their stories say it improved their academic performance. Says software engineer Bhanu Pratap Singh: "Biology was never so interesting before Deepika ma'am started teaching the subject.
Attending her class became my only motive to go to school. Bio was the only subject in which I managed to get a distinction in the boards.
" Rajeev Thakur, a journalist, says his biology teacher was his first love. "My heart was skipping beats when the new teacher clad in a pink sari walked into class.
" The backbencher moved to the front row. "I wasn't flying paper planes in class anymore, my handwriting improved miraculously and my shoes were actually polished.
Yes, I was in love." For Mallika Sinha, it was a temporary music teacher who made her heart skip a beat: "The entire school had a crush on him.
I did everything from crooning loudly in the corridors to fighting with friends to present him with a bouquet on Teachers' Day." Barkha Arora turned into a classical singer to woo her good-looking class X music teacher.
"I never had any interest in classical music but I tried to learn it to get his attention and praise," she says. Says Ruchika Gupta: "My chemistry teacher made my first tutorial so much easier.
I remember the fights to sit in the first row, keeping homework updated to seek his praise, always volunteering first with a pen or a book." That came to an end "when one day a kid ran into the room calling him papa.
We were heartbroken as we'd assumed he was single." When a beautiful Maths teacher revealed the mystery of maths to Rohan Mahajan he fell in love with the subject: "I don't remember a single guy bunking her class.
People's grades improved as guys paid more attention during class." How do teachers deal with these crushes? Says English teacher Aaliya, "It's flattering but disconcerting.
You have to deal quite gently with the kids and ensure that they don't lose focus." Deepanshi Gupta, a biology teacher, says, "I enjoy the attention I get from my students.
Interacting with students like a friend helps bridge the teacher-student gap and helps improve performance."English teacher Pooja Mehra says, "It is nice to boast about my students' attention and flaunt the bouquet of roses in front of other staff members.

'I lost my virginity to a MUCH older woman,' confesses Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe
(This story also appeared in Hindustan Times' HT City, dated September 5, 2005, New Delhi)
Remarks from Reclaiming Natural Manhood Site: WHAT IF A MAN HAD SEX WITH A GIRL AGED 16? WILL THE WESTERN HETEROSEXUALISED SOCIETY (INCLUDING THE ENGLISH PRESS IN INDIA) HAVE GLORIFIED IT ON THE TEACHER'S DAY, LIKE THEY'RE DOING IT WITH RADCLIFFE? ISN'T THIS BECAUSE WOMEN ARE SUPPOSED TO DO MEN A FAVOUR BY HAVING SEX WITH THEM, AND THE RULES DON'T APPLY TO THEM, NO MATTER THE HETEROSEXUAL SOCIETY CLAIMS TO BE BASED ON EQUALITY OF GENDERS.
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is clearly trying hard to ditch his boy wizard image.
The 19-year-old actor confessed in a revealing interview to losing his virginity to an older woman - whose age would raise eyebrows.
Radcliffe admitted he celebrated reaching the age of consent, 16, in the customary manner with a much older girlfriend.
But although he insisted the age difference 'wasn't ridiculous', he did say it 'would freak some people out'.
In an interview with US style bible Details, he also admitted he'd like to try his hand at playing a drag queen.
The 19-year-old actor confessed he would love to play a cross-dresser just so he could wear lots of slap and eye make up.
'I think part of me would love to play a drag queen,' he says in the September issue of Details magazine.
'Just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye make-up.'
Radcliffe, who has spent eight years playing Harry Potter, is soon to start a run of Equus on Broadway, New York.
He will be on stage eight times a week, with full frontal nudity, just as he did in the hit London production.
But that will be about as wild as he plans to get.
The actor , who is known for living a quiet life and not succumbing to the wild party scene said vodka and Diet Coke was his beverage of choice, because he was a 'pansy-ass civilian'.
Radcliffe also told Details that the Harry Potter phenomenon had not left him with child star angst - but confessed he suffered from the normal teen problems.
'For the most part I've been happy every single day,' he said.
'And all the times I've been unhappy, it's never been anything to do with Potter.
'It's just been the normal, boring teenage crap. Insecurities, acne - all the normal stuff.'
And although he will soon be playing psychiatric patient Alan Strang eight times a week, he said he had never spent any time on the couch himself.
'I've been pretty happy. I've got a great family,' he said.
'We're a very tight-knit group. We work very well as a team and as a tribe. I owe it to that.'
Radcliffe added that he was currently single, and does not have room for a girlfriend in his life.
'Most of my friends have been girls and I see how they are with their boyfriends and I think 'I couldn't do that,' he said.
'I just don't have the time.

Stags not allowed! Delhi men have a hard time getting into pubs and clubs unless they're accompanied by women or foreigners. This was our experience over the past few weeks as we explored the nightlife of the city.
Now that the 'Let's catch a drink after work' culture is picking up pace, nightclubs are trying to outdo each other with special nights and packages. These include expat nights and ladies nights, which have become the talk of town. What has not changed, however, is the reluctance of many clubs to let unaccompanied men in.
Going solo
HT City photo coordinator Zabeeh Afaque found he wasn't allowed in at most watering holes for a drink. Afaque was part of the HT City team that went to investigate a problem men in this city are familiar with - most clubs and pubs in the city have a 'no entry' for single men.
We checked out 18 nightspots in the NCR and found at least five that discriminated by letting in single expat men but denied entry to Indian stags.
The city is throbbing with 'nights' that are hosted at places like Urban Pind, Ivy and Kuki.
Urban Pind and Kuki both have popular expat nights on Thursdays with the following special offers Urban Pind: Thirst-day nights have an unlimited IMFL drinks offer at Rs 550 (plus taxes) and Kuki has free drinks through the evening for all expat women and the fIrst 50 Indian women who enter.
Strict policy
Kashif Farooq, co-owner, Urban Pind, the Urban Bar, while talking about the strict couple-only policy says, "These days stags take entry one by one and then form a big
group inside. We think that's unsafe for the women who are new to the country. Honestly, foreigners understand each other better and know how to talk to or approach women. Rules are for everyone. We've often been told to soften our stand on entry but we'd rather lose business than risk an unpleasant event."
Rummy Sharma of Kuki however feels that these nights pull in the crowds on a dull day and the special tag ups the excitement level. But
he's quite clear about who's most important

Sanjay Nirupam ousted from Big Boss 2 for showing 'disrespect' to item girl on media
23rd August, 2008, 2.30pm
Just now, on one of the TV channels, they were showing a 'news' iten about how Sanjay Nirupam -- the famous politician -- was ousted from a Realty show, Big Boss 2, because he had made a comment on an item girl, Sambhawna Seth (who does heterosexually obscene dances in movies, etc.)... that he had been warned not to go on a show where an item girl like her was coming...
Now, in the present heterosexualised society (and especially on the media controlled by the forces of heterosexualisation) which gives moral and all kind of other support to (hetero)sexually aggressive women (who were earlier known as 'whores' by the men's spaces), such girls feel extremely empowered and naturally, she made it a point to conspire to throw him out of the show..... i am not sure, but probably she took the support of other 'heterosexual/ heterosexualised' westernised Indian men in this.
She was crying in the show and trying to garner lots of support for herself, while the media painted Sanjay Nirupam as a 'villain'.
Why did Sanjay Nirupam participate in such a stupid programme anyways?

US national 'molested' by spa masseur
Times of India
New Delhi
14 May 2008, TNN
NEW DELHI: A 38-year-old foreign national was allegedly molested inside a spa at a five-star hotel in upscale Vasant Vihar area of south-west Delhi. The police have registered a case of molestation and arrested the accused person.
The victim, who is a US national, stays with her husband at Vasant Vihar. On Monday, she had a booking at the hotel for a spa treatment. As a senior police officer says: "The woman had gone for a head massage at the spa and claims she was molested by a massaeur there."
This year, 200 cases of molestation have already been reported in the Capital. The figure was as high as 850 last year. That a woman was molested inside a spa at an upscale neighbourhood has only reinforced the city’s unsafe image.
The victim has said in her complaint: "While the masseur was giving me a head massage, he started molesting me. As I was in semi-conscious state, he continued his act. After a while, another person entered the room, on which he threw a towel on me. The other person went outside, but I woke up."
"The masseur began massaging my head again, and once more, he molested me. But this time, I caught him and screamed at him. I also informed the staff at the spa centre about the incident," the woman claims. The accused, identified as Amir (22), allegedly also abused the victim when she protested. According to police, Amir has been working at the spa for the past one year. He stays with his family in Gurgaon.
The police later arrested Amir and lodged a case against him under sections 354 (molestation) and 509 (for outraging the modesty of a woman using foul words). He was later granted bail by a city court.
The woman refused to undergo any medical test, said the police. She has been staying in India for the past few years and runs a business here along with her husband.

It seems Richard Gere has already done the damage. Forces of Heterosexualisation is not busy further strengthening their position by making public kisses between man and woman more and more "normal" and thus "acceptable". Preity Zinta has sought the occasion of the win of her team to do something no Indian girl would have dreamt of doing a few years ago. And this means further narrowing of men's spaces.
THE GUYS DON'T WANT IT: Just notice how shy and uncomfortable the guys are at Preity's unwanted show of affection/ enthusiasm. Perhaps, she is using the occasion to get physically close to the guys. And also trying to make the act of such physical/ sexual closeness between men and women acceptable in India.

Changing rules of manhood
It is no longer considered high of a man to not show sexual interest in women, like in traditional India. Men just don't have that space any longer.
And this is eventually harmful for all men, whether or not they have a sexual need for women or not. Because, this is the most important factor that robs men of their space, which is needed by all men, lest they become oppressed, second class citizens.

'Organisers to face action for cheerleaders indecency'
25 Apr 2008, PTI
MUMBAI: In the midst of controversy over the presence of cheerleaders at IPL matches, police on Friday said they could perform at the stadium in Navi Mumbai on April 27 but action will be taken against organisers if their act is found to be "vulgar" or "indecent". ( Watch )
"The girls are merely artistes who perform as per the instructions of organisers," Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Ramrao Wagh said, adding that a performance license has been granted to the organisers of the match between Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers to be held at Nerul's D Y Patil stadium.
In the event of the cheerleaders indulging in obscenity, Wagh said, the "license holders" (the organisers) will be prosecuted under various provisions of the Bombay Police Act for indecency in a public place and breach of license terms.
Wagh, however said they had not received any directions from the state government on the issue yet.
Maharashtra's Minister of State for Home, Siddhram Mhetre had on Thursday told reporters that the government will not allow the cheerleaders to perform as their acts are "absolutely obscene" and wondered why the organisers required "semi nude" women at cricket matches.
The minister had said strict action will be taken if the cheerleaders violated the norms of decency in their attire.
However, he had not specified if action will be taken against the artistes or the organisers.

Singapore succeeds at managing everything - except dating
By Seth Mydans Published: April 29, 2008
Students at Singapore Polytechnic during a class intended by the government to help set off romance among young people. (Charles Pertwee for The International Herald Tribune)
SINGAPORE: It was like a college mixer, a classroom full of young men and women seeking a recipe for romance.
They had assembled for the first class of "Love Relations for Life: A Journey of Romance, Love and Sexuality."
There was giggling and banter among the students, but that was all part of the course material as their teacher, Suki Tong, led them into the basics of dating, falling in love and staying together.
The course, which is in its second year at two polytechnic institutes, is the latest of many, mostly futile, campaigns by the government to get its citizens to mate and multiply. Its popularity last year has led to talk of expansion through the higher education system.
"We want to tell students: Don't wait until you have built up your career," Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, minister of state for community development, youth and sports, said at a news conference last month. "Sometimes, it is too late, especially for girls."
But even a replacement-level rate would not be enough for today's planners. The government recently announced that it was aiming to increase the population by 40 percent over the next half century, to 6.5 million from the current 4.5 million.
Singapore is a topiary nation, constantly trimming and pruning itself into shapes that it believes improve on nature.
As the modern world weakens traditional family ties, for example, families are given financial incentives to care for their elderly parents - or taken to court for neglecting them.
Singapore is known for its campaigns to get residents to be polite, to smile, to be tidy, to speak proper English and not to chew gum.
In 1984, the country's master planner, then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, declared that too few of the country's most eligible women - the ones with college degrees - were marrying and having children.
He set up the Social Development Unit to address the problem and since then the government has been Singapore's principal matchmaker.
In addition to its tea dances and moonlight cruises, the agency also acts as a lonely hearts adviser, with an online counselor named Dr. Love and a menu of boy-meets-girl suggestions on its Web site, www.lovebyte.org.sg.
"Guys, girls notice everything!" the Web site offers in one of its dating tips. "Comb your hair differently and they notice. Change your watch and they notice! Skipped your morning shower and sprayed on deodorant to cover the smell - they notice! What does this mean? Well, bathe regularly, change something about yourself, be observant and compliment the lady."
Lee himself acknowledged how silly some of this may seem.
In other words, said Annie Chan, director of a matchmaking agency, "Our government wants smart ladies to meet smart guys to get smart children."
But in Singapore it is impossible to get very far from thoughts of money and the workplace. These guys may have other things on their minds besides romance and babies.

The courses are an extension of government matchmaking programs that try to address the twin challenges embodied in a falling birthrate: Too few people are having babies and too few of those who are belong to what Singapore considers the genetically desirable educated elite.
For 25 years, the mating rituals organized by the government - tea dances, wine tasting, cooking classes, cruises, screenings of romantic movies - have been among the country's least-successful social engineering programs.
Last year Singapore's fertility rate fell to a record low of 1.24 children per woman of childbearing age, one of the lowest in the world and the 28th year in a row it has stayed below the rate of 2.5 children needed to maintain the population.

"Teaching our youth in school how to fall in love" is a good solution, wrote Andy Ho, a senior writer at The Straits Times, a government-friendly newspaper that does its best to help out in Singapore's many campaigns.
In 1991, for example, when the government began offering cash bonuses to couples with more than two children, the newspaper printed tips for having sex in the back seat of a car, including directions to some of the "darkest, most secluded and most romantic spots" for parking.

"Guys, girls notice everything!" the Web site offers in one of its dating tips. "Comb your hair differently and they notice. Change your watch and they notice! Skipped your morning shower and sprayed on deodorant to cover the smell - they notice! What does this mean? Well, bathe regularly, change something about yourself, be observant and compliment the lady."
Lee himself acknowledged how silly some of this may seem.
"Never mind the hullabaloo in the press - all the foreign correspondents writing that a crackpot government is trying to interfere in people's lives," he said when he inaugurated the Social Development Unit.
"If we continue to reproduce ourselves in this lopsided way we will be unable to maintain our present standards," he said.
In other words, said Annie Chan, director of a matchmaking agency, "Our government wants smart ladies to meet smart guys to get smart children."
But in Singapore it is impossible to get very far from thoughts of money and the workplace. These guys may have other things on their minds besides romance and babies.

Cheerleaders cause controversy in India
25/04/2008 11:36:00 AM.
Cheerleaders are taking Indian cricket by storm, but some are wondering if this conservative South Asian nation is ready for dancers with bulging breasts and gyrating bellies parading in packed stadia.
Many foreign cheerleaders have been imported to India with this month's inauguration of the India Premier League (IPL), a shortened form of traditional cricket that transforms the game into a more glitzy US-style sponsored sport event.
But some outraged politicians say it is an affront to Indian culture while a few of the cheerleaders themselves complain lewd comments and insults from spectators is making their job a misery.
"It's been horrendous," Tabitha, a cheerleader from Uzbekistan, told the Hindustan Times. "
"Wherever we go we do expect people to pass lewd, snide remarks but I'm shocked by the nature and magnitude of the comments people pass here."
The IPL has caught the imagination of India, a nation of 1.1 billion and the world's biggest cricket audience. TV rights sold for more than $US900 million ($A949.57 million) and players for eight teams, many imported from abroad, were auctioned for millions.
In contrast to the cliched cricket image of genteel spectators sipping tea while politely applauding their team, now scantily-clad dancers gyrate to Bollywood or Western-style dance music blaring out from loudspeakers in stadia.
Even well-known cheerleaders from the Washington Redskins flew to India to perform for the Bangalore Royal Challengers. Photos of the dancers graced the front pages of most newspapers.
"What the cheerleaders are doing during cricket matches is ten times more vulgar than what used to happen in dance bars of Mumbai," Nitin Gadkari, leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Maharashtra state, home to the Mumbai Indians.

This news shows how things that are copied blindly from the west and imposed upon India can harm us tremendously
Experts for chary planning in future
By Mohlt Shanna
In New Deihl
BUS Rapid Transit (BRT) experts reckon that before going ahead on the remaining corridors, the authorities here should conduct an independent review of the Ambedkar Nagar-Moolchand stretch that has made for nothing short of a bumpy ride for commuters.
An international engineer, the experts say, should be hired for the remaining stretches instead of letting rookie local officials call the shots.
According to government sources, the BRT officials must -have realised by now that "blindly copying" any international model, specifically in a country like India where traffic behaviour is different, will not work. For the remaining stretches, the Delhi government should again review all conditions - weather, people, roads and nature of traffic before going ahead with it.
"The officials should also keep in mind that bus stops on the side of the roads usually suit Indian cities. If they plan accordingly, they can avoid the mayhem that is plaguing the existing stretch," the sources said.
S. Gangopadhyaya, head of the transport wing, Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) said, "I cannot comment on projects that are in the pipeline as I have not seen the designs. Generally speaking, the BRT is a good concept. What we have to see is the correct applicability of the system according to the Indian situation."
Quizzed on ongoing works on proposed stretches, transport commissioner-cum-secretary R.K. Verma said, "It's too early to comment. We are examining every possibility and working on controversial issues and areas."
Urban designer K. T. Ravindran said, "Though there are lacunae in the management on this first stretch, awareness among the masses to adapt to public transport systems is a must. The solution to the traffic congestion problem is to shift more and more people to public transports by de-motivating them to use their own personal vehicles to commute."

scaring parents off with 'gay' fear to make way for heterosexualisation
Of course, this whole scaring parents off from stopping their kids from dating, lest they turn 'gay' is a 'trend' can be seen from the fact that nowadays they are playing an advertisement on TV that shows a worried parent allowing their daughter to go on dating with a nepalese guy, because, she pretends to be a lesbian, and they're just happy that she's at least not lesbian.
It's pathetic. The same people who talk about sexual freedom, suddenly talk about suppressing man-to-man sexuality, as a noble deed, and blatantly espouse working to stop its progression. while, on one hand it castigates the society and parents for not being accepting towards casual male-female sex, of all hues and cries, at the same time, it goes all out, even putting words into their mouth, to prod them into stopping their children from getting into same-sex bonds.

Are Indian parents becoming open to Dating by their sons/ daughters?
It's really amazing how the forces of heterosexualisation which day and night rant about sexual freedom for man and woman, do everything in their hand to deny this freedom to relationships between two men.
But, it is a fact that if you open up the society, men are going to take up to sexual bonds with other men in a big way. But the forces of heterosexualisation don't want that. And since there already exists a traditional public opinion against man-man sexual bonds and it is considered o.k. to rant against and deny freedom to man-man bonds (which in the past, in all fairness, also applied to male-female sex outside of marriage or its public display) the media gets away with it.
So, this article about parents getting accepting about their sons and daughters dating, which seeks to misinforms the public in order to change public opinion, also goes on to instill a fear amongst parents who may be tempted to turn up their nose upon this permisiveness, and that is: If your son or daughter is not dating, he/ she is likely to be 'gay', which means he/ she won't marry...... it is thus trying to play upon the conservative need of Indian parents to get their children married off. They are generating a fear amongst the public: either let your children date or they'd end up 'gay'. This is hypocrisy and oppression at its worst. And carried on by people who swear by the words "freedom" and "women rights".
So, with the power institutions like the media and science, actively involved in changing public mores in this way, who will care about men and their liberty.

INDIAN PARENTS GETTING OPEN ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN DATING?
Today's Brunch (the daily mag section of Hindustan Times in Delhi) has a cover story which boldly says, "Not so long ago, it was impossible for young people to admite to their parents that they had a girlfriend or boyfriend. Today, parents in big cities get nervous if their children aren't dating".
This is known as engineering public opinion towards a set of values, even without any ground, and is in real bad taste.
The article has a big set-up picture of an aged couple and a young couple hand in hand (the first couple are parents and the other their son/ daughter with date. It sites unbelievable anecdotes about conservative parents suddenly turning liberal about their daughters dating within a span of five years. They are just as set-up as the pictures. So much for misleading public and forcing a change in values.
I am a social worker and a keen observer of society, and all around me, I see young people trying to hide their relationships not only from parents, but also from colleagues, neighbours and what not -- although there is more openness between peers. And, I live in a big city, Delhi.
The funny part is, that, inspite of all the brouhaha and social engineering indulged in by the media and other forces of heterosexualisation, in my hep office (which is a publication taking out several English publications in a month) there are several young boys and girls. But only one pair of boy and girl have a relationship with each other, and its extremely candid. They don't even share it with peers, but we know that there's something on. Another boy has a started a relatioship with a girl he meets on the bus daily, and chats with on orkut, but only I and a girl have the honour to know it in my office. The others just don't know.
So, who are all these parents worried about their children not going on dates? Apart from a few over-westernised couples, over eager to prove their 'sophistication' and 'status' in the society?

THE MEDIA SUPPORTS SEXUALLY AGGRESSIVE ABUSIVE WOMEN
ON APRIL 13, 2008, there is another news which shows that the media is unmindfully supportive of sexually aggressive and abusive women, by camouflaging their misdeeds under the traditional "innocent" image of women, and exhorting to the traditional protective instincts of the society towards this "innocent" image.
A sales girl spoke rudely to a girl on phone who wanted to get a certain video CD home delivered. when the girl went up to the store, she was slapped and manhandled there by the sales girl. Upon this the girl called her father, a senior citizen (65 yrs old). An altercation followed, and the sales girl grabbed a knife and stabbed the aged man, injuring him seriously.
The sales girl, true to the ways of such girls, accused the man and the girl of having slapped her and tore her clothes and "threatened to strip her naked and parade her", and that she stabbed the man in self-defense.
It is unimaginable for a brother, sister and father trio in Delhi to go and threaten a sales girl to strip and parade naked in public.
The TV media took the side of the salesgirl and reported the matter as if she was assaulted and she acted in self-defense. Again, one look at her, and her body movement, and you know that she is no "damsel in distress". The forces of heterosexualisation are giving extreme powers and dangerous protection to such abusive women.
The newspaper news, which at least presents both the perspectives is here:

MEDIA PROMOTES SEXUALLY AGGRESSIVE AND EXPLOITATIVE WOMEN
On 11th April, 2008, news channels showed the story of how a "victim of rape" was beaten by chappals by female neighbours in east Delhi's Mandawali area. The media was crying foul and totally supported the woman. It was yet another moment for the powerful forces of heterosexualisation to advance itself in the name of "heterosexualisation".
Noone care to ask why the female neighbourers "enmob" were beating an "innocent woman". Are Indians unsympathetic to victims of rape? At one time, the society considered it better to keep such things under wraps, but more for the woman and her honour (something westerners will never understand), than for saving the man. If so many women were against a woman, who was playing a "victim of rape", there must be more to it.
In fact, as far as I can tell, the woman looked and behaved quite like one who would not only use men sexually but would use her position as a woman to exploit men. there have been thousands of such cases all over India, eversince the society has been forced by the media to give such powers to women. She was the typical Heterosexual woman that the media wants to promote -- the sexually aggressive, dominant kind. And they make the man absolutely helpless to defend himself against anykind of exploitation at the hands of these women -- whether its sexual exploitation or false cases of sexual exploitation.
Why was the media not highlighting what the neighbours were saying -- that she was a 'bad character' woman and that she had lodged a false complaint against her landlord. Why did the media choose to stick to one woman's account over scores of others?
The woman claimed to be attacked with knives, but then women like her will put just any blame. The police themselves said that she was in an inebriated state. What kind of an 'innocent' girl lives alone in a lower-middle class locality and drinks alcohol? It is now being enforced by the forces of heterosexualisation upon upper-middle class societies which have been westernised, but not in traditional Indian spaces. A man does all these things too, but then he faces the harsh world out there. If he is beaten by people for coming home drunk, he is not protected by the media. The media will in fact lash out at the man. And, a man does not have the empowerment to complain even if he is genuinely exploited sexually by women. He has to take it all without complaining. If he were to complain, he would only get jeers. How can Western partial notions of 'feminism' be enforced upon Indian cultures without even discussing them first?
I agree, that it is not right to take law into one's own hands. But, what are ordinary, illiterate people to do when they find themselves helpless against oppressive laws, against powerful forces of Westernisation/ heterosexualisation that often hides itself behind distorted ideas of female 'liberty', and a powerful media bent on creating space for the sexually aggressive woman, at all costs, in all circumstances.
The media would have been right to raise the issue of her being beaten, because, all said and done, people have no right to take law into their hands. However, to completely side with her shows that media has unwarranted motives.
Here's the news (the newspaper version is slightly more balanced than the TV news):
http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=1c689bff-31ee-44a0-91c5-83e4552b63d6&MatchID1=4680&TeamID1=6&TeamID2=3&MatchType1=1&SeriesID1=1179&PrimaryID=4680&Headline=Mob+attacks+rape+victim+in+east+Delhi
Note that the paper assumes that she is a rape victim, even when nothing has been proved, and it is only based on the complaint of the woman, and women have been given absolute powers by the heterosexual society to implicate any man without evidence.
