  • But i am against it........instead such things should be covered under domestic violence act.....but shouldn't be under "rape" laws... otherwise there will be total misuse.......husbands will run to prositutes ...as former bureacrat saxena in fb said......
    1) Domestic Violence Cases are 'civil court' cases.

    2) Interviewing panel will skewer you alive if you take a stance against marital rape being recognized as rape. Not only because of their ideological bias, but also because cases exist where husband imprisoned and raped their wives for months. So you cannot take such a stance. The max you can do is suggest precautions to prevent misuse. Imposing a timelimit of reporting is a good start. Secondly, you can suggest strict penalty for proven misuse.


  • @all
    Before marching ahead let's do one thing as @Vivaya suggested yesterday. Make three comprehensive lists of
    -Constitutional provisions for Women n children
    - Policies and programmes for Women n children
    - Acts enacted to protect Women n children

    I always try and think in terms of what I see around me combined with an interview point of view. Because, if I do get selected - I am supposed to lead my life 'from an interview point of view' without allowing my personal biases to affect my conduct.

    Only you have proven yourself to be capable of something like that exhaustively :P

    But I will definitely try to consolidate and write up too.
  • India's daughter controversy:

    Once the conviction in the judicial process is over, after going through the censor board to filter the contents that are capable of "incitement" or that reflects the rationalisation of male attitude towards gender inequality, the documentary should be broadcasted with confidentiality for victims identity.

    The need of the hour in our society is more open and wider discusion on sexual violences against women and female children especially. The very fact that it will be revealed and openly discussed will restrain many offenders in future and save India's daughters. Many erring Indian men still want to maintain their dignity in the public. They will not involve in such heinous crimes at the cost of their dignity and social status (we hope).
    Let me ask a CC...

    From the government's viewpoint, in this documentary the Criminal is shown defending his crime and giving reasons for the same. Don't you think broadcasting this documentary will encourage these tendencies in future?? More so, isnt it a shame on us that we are mocking Nirbhaya's sacrifice which in a way led to awakening of the masses??
    Criminal is shown as defending his crime is what I meant when I say 'the contents reflecting the rationalisation of male attitude towards gender inequality' - it should be censured.

    No. I am more concerned about saving millions of daughters who are still at the risk of becoming Nirbhayas.
    There is one victim and her family involved whose identity is to be confidential. But there are many offenders and many more families. The intention is to revolutionise by using the offenders as the tool for reformation. All the families should become cautious not to become one of the offenders' family.
  • @doodlebean tomorrow's topics? We need to move on.

    @doodlebean tomorrow's topics? We need to move on.
    Political Representation and Women in India.
    Technological initiatives as well as other initiatives taken to ensure protection of women after Delhi rape case. For eg Himmat App., Nirbheek revolver. Etc
  • Will upload the above three lists tonight. :)
  • @doodlebean mam - i cant even think how can we apply the redistributive logic on this.

    Women do have a say when they are economically self dependant and educted ...in most cases , they have the law with them and popular support with them..and actually my previous post was on ethical and philosophical note ...about the rigid mindset of previous generation, which no one took pained to point out was a cause ,

    And i think womens may be treated as a subordinate , society may be patriarchal , but they are respected and are not seen like that way the mentioned sociologists have quoted. Even the ancient funda of grihani says they are leader in household affairs , my wisdom is not that great like you seniors but my advice would be refrain from saying something like that in interview , they do not show the real picture , the bulk is not like that and in a 1.28 billion country the evil and bad always exists irrespective of gender.
