Supreme Court has reprimanded
the government for constantly changing its stands on Gay Sex issue. The
government is appearing before the Supreme Court for an appeal against the decision
of the Delhi High Court decriminalizing Sec. 377 of the Indian Penal Code
saying that it is against the Indian traditions and society morals. Apparently
homosexuality is not mentioned anywhere in the Vedas, Upanishads, Manusmriti etc,
so it cannot be allowed. According to Ghulam Nabi Azad, it is a disease which
has come from the developed countries.
The list of people campaigning against the
decriminalization of S.377 is long and heavy. It carries big names from the
world of Politics and Religion. Names that, if determined, can change a lot many
things in the society, law and order and such. But social causes do not garner
media coverage or vote bank favours.
Notwithstanding incidents of
road rage and goonda raj, the recent spurt of rape incidents are causing shock
waves in the country. It is simply scary to walk on the streets. Anyone, just
for the heck of it, can drag me away in car and share me with his friends and then
dump me in some corn field. Moreover now that it has been established that
being called “Sexy” is a compliment and harmless, anybody on the road can
comment on my body, call it sexy and demand a thank you in return.
All I am trying to say is that
these supposed upholders of Indian tradition, moral values and whatnot like the
Opposition leaders, Ramdev Baba, Government Ministers, groups etc, should shift
their attention to more important matters of law and order and societal discord.
Why are they not doing anything to raise awareness, spread education,
discourage violence and try and increase the morale of the people? How does it
matter to the nation what two consenting adults are doing in their bedroom? Is
Rape not a disease which needs to be cured?
It is hilarious to see the
government come out and give a press statement that it does not have any stand on
the S.377 issue! Why not come out and support the Noida Rape Victim? She is not
only a rape victim now, but victim of our society and all of us need to
apologise to her.
It is just sickening that when there
are such burning issues that need immediate attention of our policy makers of
the country they are busy meddling into bedrooms and ancient culture.
Simple question: If they are so
concerned to maintain our culture and tradition then they should eliminate
everything that is in violation of it. So since they don’t seem to raise their
voice against rape, does that mean Rape is part of our culture? Is it written
in the Vedas and Manusmriti that if a girl drinks vodka she should be raped?
That if a married women goes to a pub she should be raped?
