Casual, careless and cool about crimes against women

Mumbai , August 21, 2009

Woman alleges rape by dinner mates :  A 42-year-old woman has alleged that she was raped in a parked vehicle by four businessmen on Thursday night at an isolated spot opposite Asian Heart Hospital at Bandra-Kurla Complex.

Patna, August 20, 2009, 1:30 pm

Three youths blindfold and take turns at raping a 21-year old girl, in broad daylight. After 2 hours of torment, the furious girl, half-naked, tries to chase them, while the onlookers watch. None of those who watch the scene come forward to help or nab the perpetrators.

No, this wasn’t a scene from a movie. This was real. And this incident has now happened within less than a month of another such rape in broad daylight, in the same city, and also in front of a crowd of onlookers who did absolutely nothing but watched in glee.

Indora (Kangra), Himachal Pradesh, August 19, 2009

A 9-year old boy was arrested for raping a 6-year old girl. The boy has now earned the distinction of being the youngest rapist in the country. The boy dragged the girl to the bathroom and later beat her up before raping her. He was out on bail after spending a night in police custody.

Last year, India had about 39,000 registered cases of sexual molestation of women. Those are just the registered cases. I’m sure there is an exceedingly larger number of these that goes on unreported for various reasons. Whether those rapes happen away from anyone’s notice in some dark corner somewhere, or in broad daylight in front of a city full of people, just seems to me that India does not regard rape as a very serious crime. For all we know and care, the judiciary and law enforcement don’t give much of damn, because the public outrage is just non-existent at best. Maybe those who wish to make a big deal of such things are just plain stupid.

Independence Day was celebrated yesterday and we had many reasons to celebrate. Firstly, the Bandra - Worli Sea Link is fully operational. Secondly, Kasab has confessed to his crime. Thirdly, the online admission formats seem to have worked. And fourthly, Jains, Parsis, Maharashtrians and Muslims are all celebrating this month.

The Jains have their ‘Pajushans’ when they fast and observe strict discipline. The Parsis have Pateti, their new year celebrations. The Maharashtrians are gearing up for the Ganesh Utsavs with pomp and gaiety and the Muslims are celebrating Ramzan from the 22^nd onwards.

Although the periods of Ramzan and Pajushan are extremely tough for the respective communities, when their mourning period ends, there is a lot of celebration and joy.

The Hindus are also celebrating the Shraavan month with a lot of good, rich Sattwic food and a host or colourful rituals and celebrations.

August is thus not the most cruel month. In fact, it is a time for introspection, looking within and celebrating the plurality of this vibrant democracy.

So what if there’s the fear of Swine Flu. So what if the terrorists are planning yet another strike. It’s good news that the jihadi Baitullah Mehsud was killed and it is a sign of good things to come.

This August, let’s unite to fight against the ugly enemy of racism as witnessed recently in the attacks on Indians in Australia. It is also a great step forward as none other than Rahul Gandhi is actively taking interest in the political scenario in Maharashtra. So now, he will work with the NCP leader Sharad Pawar to get a Congress victory in Maharashtra. Great going!

Independence Day - August 15, 1947 is the golden day in the history of India. The day when India got the gift of independence from the British rule. The stroke of the midnight brought  a ray of new hope for India, as our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru said, the world was asleep but India awoke to life and freedom. A new nation was born! Since then August 15 is celebrated as the independence day in India every year.

History of Independence of India, 15^th August 1947: The struggle for Indian independence began with the colonialization of India by Europeans. They came to India as traders but over the period of time they rose to power took control of Indian affairs. British occupied most parts of India whereas Portuguese and French also had their influence on few places. That’s when the great patriots along with a lot unnamed freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the getting Independence from the British Rule. Many freedom fighters gave their life for the purpose. The urge of Independence found voice in form of many great leaders such as Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Khudiram Bose, Ram Prasad Bismil,Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to name a few.. The sole aim of their lives was - Independence from the British rule. This dream of millions of Indians was realized when finally India got freedom on August 15, 1947. The joy of independence brought along with it the grief of partition! The country was divided into two parts - India and Pakistan. Pakistan assumed August 14 as its independence day whereas August 15 was declared the independence day for India.

Many MNEs, especially in developing countries, employ children below the age of 16 years for full time and part time labour. This is considered illegal by the ILO laws. In India the scenario is very disturbing. Children are made to do the lower most jobs for a living and don’t have access to proper schooling as they have to work from a very young age.

Indian employers use children as low cost labour, and some of them even go unnoticed  and are given the most appalling conditions to work. Even lesser known countries like the Phillipines, Vietnam and other third world countries have better laws in place to check child labour.

According to the statistics, child labour, if fully abolished, will lead to a worse situation for many children as they will look for cheaper and more risky places to work. Indai qualifies as one of those places where children are trafficked, prostituted and made to do the worst kinds of jobs that even adults are not capable of handling.

Certain suppliers from India for foreign companies like Nike and Adidas have created novel ways to get rid of this menace. Adidas has employed UN and NGO employees to take care of the menace, all the while employing an education programme during working hours for the children. The children who are working at these places have to study and work, and after their education is complete, they are given permanent jobs. The education and classes are held within the factories of these multinationals by efficient and skilled teachers.

At Nike, in the rural areas, they have a loan lending system, which enables women to take small loans using which they can run small businesses and do not have to migrate to cities. This type of scenario should be started in India, especially in the rural areas to develop and uplift these backward areas.
