Can all the feminists in this country make a joint statement regarding how much freedom you would like to give to our young teen age gullible girls in our society? Is it like a blank cheque?

Make its leading board men and women who know how to respect each other and protect themselves. Make them join politics or start by raising enough funds to tackle issues about women, men and children in urban india..then expand it to rural india...make the ideals clear...please put them up so that everybody knows what exactly you mean and they are joining up for. An SOS line and a 24/7 channel only dedicated to how ideals are shaping in India are great ways to tell everyone to move out and work away the women woes. The government of Rwanda has more female legislatures than men...So, I guess Africa does have somethings going right, which we as a society seem to forget during election time... :) If you choose gateway of India...I don't think many people will be able to come other than those living nearby...So, please make this an event live on the internet as well...with proper videos and do rope in some channels...Even though they might potray the event in a way which suits them, atleast India will know it actually happened. The importance of this is keeping up the pace after the 48 hour news expiry date is crossed. The enthusiasm should continue for years if this movement is to be serious and do some damage to illogical conceptions prevelant in our times...And are u really serious about making a difference? There are intelligent and tolerant people in India galore, but unlike their jobless and unruly counterparts the former don't have the time to make the cause their entire life. What will this event establish that is worth travelling to the gateway for? I live far away and don't have the money but would love to come. So, please make clear your objectives and expected results...A blog will soon disappear, where many interviews and long fights of women and ngo's in this country have. What we need is proper media, monetary, political, legal and people support, which captures a whole nation for as long as it takes. But it will take even a Gandhi superhuman effort to do so alone anymore. We are more diverse now, and it is no longer a foreign and physical enemy. Ideals live longer but are harder to fight for. If the first boulder is removed all the rest of the rocks will tumble away by momentum, so it is a must to get political support of the right kind. It is a must to spread awareness among majority of people to choose a honorable and effecient politician. This requires a large number of volunteers, who need money. Who gives that? I took this blog too seriously. And all these questions erupted in my mind. I want to have a sena. But I want it to be Filled With Like Minded Individuals Regardless Of Gender. We are all humans, and I want some men and some women to get that. I want to make India the leading ground again for spiritual and intellectual equality. America isn't the best place to go if you seek freedom, India is...that's the message we, as the future of this country should give. Solving militancy, punishing inhuman and violant acts, and abolishing the 'Sita myth' is something we should be working for...So, make this 'sena' and you will see by default women will be in large number in it...But I believe men will be there too...and so, its name should involve both identities. And if you really are serious, can I join up? And how do I? Can you help me, if I want to start such a NGO in my town? And thankyou for reading this post...heaven knows how much crap it was...

But I think that is past tense now. I hope with the able guidance of Union Ministers like Ms.Renuka Choudhury, women can have sex inside pubs also apart from drinking. The ultimate freedom of women race from the shackles of masculine gender, a type of enlightenment or emancipation or should we call “Orgasm”. <BR/>Because if we go by what Mr.Mutalik said, "Woh Bachche sab nanga nach nach rahe the" (Those children where dancing naked in the pub). <BR/>You do not have to take permissions from anyone. Ms.Renuka Choudhury has said na long back, "The girls were sitting there (and doing all illicit things) due to constitutional rights". So who are we to guide you, when a Union Minister asks you to have cerebral as well as sexual pleasure inside pubs....<BR/>Please invite me also so that I can film those events for my upcoming documentary (before coming to stock market, I was in Bombay Film industry), titled, "Pub Main Nanga Naach".<BR/>Byebye and looking for your invitation.<BR/>Oh!!

Then I came to this blog and realized that we Indian women are fighting for the right to drink beer in a pub, let alone claiming a righ to sexual pleasure like American women are doing. Maybe the comparison isn't very evident, but it saddens me to think that Indian women have to fight fo choices that women in other parts of the world take for granted. The right to have female children for instance, even women in Afghanistan aren't denied this right, but millions of Indian women are forced to abandon female foetuses. When our society does not even want to grant girls the right to be born, then why do we wonder if other rights are denied to women? India is one of the worst places in the world for a women, right on top with Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Somalia. Maternal mortality and female malnurition in India is one of the highest in the world. Mutalik may claim that Indian culture respects women, but the statistics tell another not-so-rosy story <BR/>PreetiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-27995925314807171702009-03-01T02:36:00.000+05:302009-03-01T02:36:00.000+05:30Dear Sobha De, It is 2.23 am in the...Dear Sobha De,<BR/> It is 2.23 am in the morning and I suddenly chanced upon your blog while doing some research work.<BR/>It is worth mentioning here that, when I first started my blog a couple of years back, I thought that I was the only exotic species at that time. Now I see lot of blogspots coming up here and there.<BR/>Anyway, are you trying to create another Ram Sene in disguise and sensationalize some issues?? Ram Sene was right in the Mangalore Pub incident, only that they have made a mistake by taking law in their own hands. Everyone in a free country has the right to protest against any thing that they do not approve. <BR/>I think you should join hands with me to free India of drugs and alcohols. I do not understand why you are bent on making India a Pub Factory.

It is titled India's Post-Independence Fight For Freedom:<BR/><BR/>http://desicritics.org/2009/02/27/005537.php<BR/><BR/>Her blog says she is based in the US but she has listed concrete ideas about a youth/ citizen movement that could be started in India. <BR/><BR/>Personally I think that such a movement has to be more serious and a lot more organized. The Pink Chaddi campaign used humor and that was great. But now that the attacks and assaults have taken a serious turn, our protests should too. <BR/><BR/>Ms.Nadkarni mentioned in one of her comments to that article that she will be doing a follow-up post with details of certain ideas. I think if we all get together we can have a much better, bigger struggle. In her comments you will see the amount of support that such a drive could receive. Her blog lists her email id and she has invited commentators to contribute with ideas. This wave should not subside. <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>GopalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-88627535576692065032009-02-28T12:12:00.000+05:302009-02-28T12:12:00.000+05:30Dear Anonymous,It is as painful to hear that a fel...Dear Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>It is as painful to hear that a fellow Indian is getting hurt in our very own land as it is to find a girl molested open on roads for wearing western attire...<BR/><BR/>But there are 2 different agendas behind...

It is therefore a symbol of regression, servitude and everything that you are fighting against. The Sita is the ever suffering, devoted Indian woman who must resign to her fate - the 'abla' nari. While the symbol of Ram is of the dude who got it all right - Maryada Purushottam. The ideal Alpha male. You cannot counter a 'Ram' sena with a "Sita' sena. It has to be a chandi sena or a Durga Sena - the vindictive, unforgiving, menacing and powerful symbol of infinite power of a woman. The second more intelligent point of view may be that Sita is also a symbol of reverence - Sita is 'mata' etc. You can do without a backlash from the Ekta Kapoor's army of female audience who will object to the modern day jeans and shorts clad Sitas. You may have got the interpretation right in your head but you cannot get it right with a collective presumption. Is there a non judgmental, non offensive and neutral way of saying 'get real' ? :)Inexplicablyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593290462959774110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-4570071608204296722009-02-27T14:23:00.000+05:302009-02-27T14:23:00.000+05:30im speaking to some NGOs to initiate an SOS line.....im speaking to some NGOs to initiate an SOS line... <BR/><BR/>im just thinking aloud... how about having a SENA of WOMEN to Protect Men In Distress.
