Oh man! I cant really stop myself from laughing my cynical smile when i hear the "secular" Ram Sene's version of the " Indian culture" and how Indian women should not be allowed to drink in pubs in India. I just watched the version of some politically secular party who seems to care for the Indian culture.Their point are that girls should not go to pub as they can potentially get 'Man handled' as the guys can loose their control after they drink and its not in the INDIAN culture for the women to drink as women are the Devis. They fear that it will erode the future for the persons morality or something....i cant really believe that people are saying it...honestly i m not surprised....Indian culture....is a big word for me to even touch upon but i can surely comment on what i have seen around me.
Women here are not even considered human according to me, let alone the fact that they were Devis some centuries back. Some time back i had the occasion of hearing Mr. Javed Akhtar in my college`s founder day, and i remember him taking up this point. He said "I was born on 17 jan, and my mother was respected from that day forward. the point is was she respected on 16th jan?? was the respect because of me? was she basking in my glory? if that is the case then i must say we are in a bad situation. because she was respected when she became a mother, my mother. we say respect mother. we never say respect the father? why? because he is THE father, he is already respected you see, he is a MAN." so i guess its really important for us to know that there is no respect on the base itself. Whatever you build on that wont suffice.
What kind of belief systems are being percolated in the next generations? If a boy sees his sister is not treated equally, you are raising a man who will tell his wife the same thing. The problem is in the kind of male mentality we are generating and what we have already received from our surroundings. the stares that a girl stands everyday would certainly give chills to a guy, i bet!
I have stayed a while in Gujarat, specially Ahemdabad. the kind of freedom and secure environment i saw there , i cant even think of having the same thing in Delhi for sure. when u have your FEMALE Chief Minister telling you that gals should not try and be adventurous (ohh man! not every one has the govt cars and security you see )when the lady was just returning home from her job....
I agree times are changing but i also see people as in the male species doesn't seem to be changing much. the jobs are no longer the 9-5 ones:as we had in good old times. you need to work hard and work long to get the moolah now a days. for a girl you cant change the timings? Rather than stopping girls from going to places at times, i guess we need to make these places safer for women.
when people talk about the Indian culture, i wanna quiz them on what they actually know about the Indian culture?Are they again gonna dissect our Indian culture into Mughal, Portugese, Afghanian and the British culture?? That's what the history says right??
The political moral custodians are merely portraits of the hypocritical nature of the outdated value systems in the changing society. i see it as a confused state of mind in which a person relies on the past more than on their own school of thoughts and the present scenario. The least we can do is stand for our self and ensure what are we passing for the generations to come.!!
the interview.....i hope u like it!!

i think our society have grown a tendency to scrutinise the women behaviour, particularly outside the premises of the house. Nobody talks about the morality of Man's behaviour.
The much hyped word "Indian Culture" seems to be as old as the earth and these self professed preservers of Culture want to take us back to the stone age. Becoz they feel incompetent to survive the competition of the mordern world thats why they are seeking to be in the old sluggish society where only 'Choti wale brahmins' used to make laws.
thanx amit!!
You are absolutely right my dear..these ram sena **or what ever the other senas are the creepy creatures or i can say dirty insects of our society.In the name of religion they devide people,they didnot even know the only religion which persists in this world i.e called HUMANITY,,,Love,kindness and immotional attachment towards others...i think they doesnot know the meaning of these words ..Until and unless if we cannot throw them from our society they will eat our freedom and make our life into hell..i.e we are not lived freely in our own country...thxs and regards

thanx kaushal bt they overlook that humanity is above nething else. they overlook the utmost important religion i.e. humanity n look into small , stupid details. bt i guess throwing them out wont suffice the situation, there is more that meets the eye...if u knw wat i mean . its jus ram sene in the limelight now, but as soon as u r done with them, there is a briggade here. the problem is the value systems. the century old demarkation of the sterotypes- male n female. that ws den....time has changes n so shoud these !!
raghu as in?? woh roadies wala?? :P
