DV Act Hypocrisy

Dharna Against Anti-Male Laws, May 22, 2011

2011-05-24T12:01:00.003+05:30

Save Indian Family – Hyderabad is supporting Dhashrat Devda’s Dharna and Hunger Strike in demand to remove anti-male biased laws like IPC 498A, and to gender-neutralize other misandrist laws like DV Act, Maintenance Laws etc., Dashrat Devda has started his unger strike at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on 15^th May.

Meanwhile, more than 57000 married men are committing suicide each year (Source: National Crime Records Bureau, Min. of Home Affairs) unable to cope with misandrist(hatred of males) laws like IPC 498A, DV Act, Maintenance Laws and the anti-male mindset of society and government, in particular.

These laws have already started a mass extermination of married men and are causing untold suffering and senseless prosecution of young and middle aged men in general. As it is, there is no social safety net or social measures from the side of the government towards the single largest contributors (men) of tax revenues to society. Not even a single rupee has been spent so far towards the welfare of men. Even animals have a share of government protection and welfare programs.

It is an open secret that laws like IPC 498A and DV Act and Maintenance are all being used as tools of extortion to financially enslave men of productive age and law abiding mindset. Being free men in a free country, we cannot let this continue.

We demand the following:

· Repeal IPC 498A

· Close down Crimes Against Women Cell

· Constitute National Commission for Men

· Mediation in marital disputes should not be handled by Police

· Simplify and ease out Divorce procedures

· No maintenance to women. Women assert equal rights have equal opportunity to earn a living.

· Stop judicial bias against men.

· Amend DV Act of 2005 to be gender neutral.

· Penalty for misusers of IPC 498A till now

· Compensate victims of IPC 498A misuse

Public is requested to speak out in support of men. Thousands of families and children and elderly parents are being affected by these laws. If left to continue, these laws will destroy the very fabric of society.

Response to Law Commission of India invitation for Suggestions on IPC 498A

2011-04-07T09:40:00.004+05:30

Reference Invitation to the public of India seeking consultations on IPC 498A: http://lawcommissionofindia.nic.in/

S.498A by its definition and its procedure fails in the fundamental test of a concept called corpus delicti (Ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_delicti) which is concept that it must be proven that a crime has been committed before any accused is even tried by a court of law or arrested for trial. It is proper to register a complaint and start an investigation, but unfair to initiate proceedings against the accused without any material evidence of occurrence of cruelty. The sole basis of registered complaint is not enough to prosecute the accused until reasonable evidence is presented to initiate prosecution. Therefore all the cases booked till date were/are illegal and are to debited to the criminal negligence and betrayal of the law makers who have been voted to power or employed by the citizens of this nation who happen to be both men and women and not just women. The politicians, executive & judiciary are all equally answerable and have responsibility to all citizens whether male or female.

It is a fact that 57000 married men commit suicide every year(Ref: NCRB statistics, Min. of Home Affairs), due to financial torture by wives which by definition is the same as dowry harassment, in addition to other forms of mental, verbal, physical, social, financial and sexual forms of harassment. Therefore S.498A is fundamentally flawed as it projects women as perpetual victims and men as perpetual oppressors. In fact S.498A is a tool to ensure that women will always be perceived as victims and may be able to reap financial rewards and a gain a twisted sense of superiority.

It is also a fact that in any crime there are two parties, the perpetrator and the victim, and that is the only ‘relationship’ they have with respect to each other. The fact that IPC 498A and PWDVA appends the words ‘husband and wife and relatives’ to the parties is an attempt to criminalize marriage and to keep it alive even after the ‘crime’ has gone to trial and its ending. Once a police complaint is registered, the marriage is over for all purposes, and to keep using the words husband and wife is to sentence both the parties is to a state of war for a lifetime and to unethically milk the cow of marriage even after the cow is dead.

The phrase ‘overimplication’ undermines the fact that, an overwhelming majority of cases are examples of fictitious accusations. The real question is how the law makers are going to punish the perjurers and compensate the ones who have been wrongly implicated.

The conviction rate in cases under s.498A is low only because it is designed to be unnecessarily harsh and draconian in its initial effects and since because the vagueness and the illogic of its gender-bias is essentially illegal in its concept, it is bound to fail altogether. Also, the fact that many women do not take interest in the prosecution is because they have achieved their motive of extortion through its initial effects of extortion and because they know that their complaints are fictional.

The real ‘pragmatic reality’ is that the State has no say in sensitive family problems. Because the very nature of any Police entity is that of authority, superiority and dominance, while the nature of marriage is that of respect, trust and love. If made compoundable as in the state of Andhra Pradesh, the law will tend to become a tool of extortion where the criminal law and judicial apparatus becomes a lever for extortionist gangs wearing the veil of womanhood, perpetual victimhood and women’s empowerment. Even if this law is made bailable, a long drawn out trial is as good as a divorce decree without the judicial stamp of approval, apart from becoming an exercise in bitterness and hatred on the personal front and an exercise in nepotism, corruption and sowing the seeds of fragmentation on the social front which will leads to the increase of father-less bigots, hate-mongers and psychotic despots to say the least.

About the possibility of reconciliation, it should be pointed out that any settlement effort by the State through the Police or Judiciary via IPC 498A or PWDVA route is an exercise in State sponsored terrorism and extortion. How can there be a fair dialogue if the woman and man and the State agency knows that there is a sword hanging on the man’s neck.

The very fact that this law is special must ring the bells of disaster in the ears of the just and fair-minded. Even if the Constitution of India has laid down special benefits to women and children, any law must be without prejudice towards men. It is time we included this phrase in our Constitution. The argument that ‘misuse is not peculiar, therefore it must not be diluted’ is a murderer’s justification that it is OK to kill a hundred people in the hope that two of them probably deserved it.

In response to para 7.1, I wish to state that The Ministry of Women and Child Development has no right to seek the destruction of men.

In response to para 7.2, It may be pointed out that there is such a thing as prisons for women in which there are many married Indian women who have committed enough crimes of all kinds.

In response to para 7.2, it is true that the dilution of the law will lead to further chaos. The only true solution is to remove it and allow the already existing laws for extortion and blackmail to be used in cases of financial extortion which is the underlying principle of the concept of dowry harassment.

Response to Para 9. In case of a complaint by a married woman against husband or a husband against a wife, Police must read the law books for a definition of crime for economic offenses like extortion or physical torture and use such a law with existing procedures. I am sure there exists such a law and I am also sure that the legal provisions in India are mature enough to be applied to such crimes fairly and effectively.

Response to Para 10. Apart from repealing this monstrous law, the law makers must also think of how they want to compensate the existing victims of such rogue laws. A commission must be setup to enquire into the abuse of each registered crime and acquittal, compensations to be estimated and also the commission must device checks and balances to ensure that such crimes against humanity like IPC 498A must not be repeated in the future. This Commission must be made permanent and must be called the National Commission for Men.

Response to Para 11. The Commission must take account of the fact that over 57000 men commit suicide each year(Ref:MHA-NCRB sources). The Commission must understand that it is not enough to ‘discourage’ unjustified complaints, it is duty of the commission to ‘eliminate’ it altogether. The most balanced way of doing this it to eliminate IPC 498A/PWDVA and enforce existing gender-neutral criminal laws.

Response to Para 12. Excellent Idea. Since existing agencies, ministries and commissions are not motivated or ‘do not have the mandate’, a National Commission for Men(NCM) and Men’s Welfare Ministry(MWM) must be formed immediately to carry out this extensive task of spreading awareness to men all over the country, whether urban or rural. The Law Commission may get in touch with Men’s Rights Groups in India to move for its proposal in the Parliament.

Response to Para 13. Law and Police and Judiciary are supposed to go with the letter and spirit of the written law. Therefore, as a beginning, all gender-bias must be removed in all the laws. It should also be made the mandate of the NCM/MWM to enforce the same.

Response to Para 14. Police must be removed from the decision making process in problems related to marital issues.

Response to Para 15. The ‘elaborate machinery’ under PWDVA is nothing short of a Holocaust in the making against the men of this country. Trying to justify PWDVA is like trying to justify the Nazi philosophy of a pure human race and the consequent wholesale murder millions of Jews and other ‘subhumans’.

Questionnaire

1) a) What according to you is ideally expected of Police, on receiving the FIR alleging an offence u/s 498A of IPC? What should be their approach and plan of action?

Ideally Police should file cases under other gender-neutral laws under IPC for extortion and/or physical assault and go by the investigation procedure under CrPC.

b) Do you think that justice will be better meted out to the aggrieved woman by the immediate arrest and custodial interrogation of the husband and his relations named in the FIR? Would the objective of s.498A be better served thereby?

Justice will be dispensed only if IPC 498A is repealed and its victims of misuse compensated.

2) a) The Supreme Court laid down in D.K. Basu (1996) and other cases that the power of arrest without warrant ought not to be resorted to in a routine manner and that the Police officer should be reasonably satisfied about a person’s complicity as well as the need to effect arrest. Don’t you agree that this rule applies with greater force in a situation of matrimonial discord and the police are expected to act more discreetly and cautiously before taking the drastic step of arrest?

Police should take permission from National Commission for Men if it wants to arrest any man or his relatives

b) What steps should be taken to check indiscriminate and unwarranted arrests?

Police should take permission from National Commission for Men if it wants to arrest any man or his relatives.

3) Do you think that making the offence bailable is the proper solution to the problem? Will it be counter-productive?

The only solution would be to repeal IPC 498A, victims of misuse compensated and to enforce existing gender-neutral IPC laws for extortion and physical assault.

4) There is a view point supported by certain observations in the courts’ judgments that before effecting arrest in cases of this nature, the proper course would be to try the process of reconciliation by counselling both sides. In other words, the possibility of exploring reconciliation at the outset should precede punitive measures. Do you agree that the conciliation should be the first step, having regard to the nature and dimension of the problem? If so, how best the conciliation process could be completed with utmost expedition? Should there be a time-limit beyond which the police shall be free to act without waiting for the outcome of conciliation process?

Conciliation process with the sword of IPC498A or PWDVA hanging over the man’s head fits the definition of extortion under IPC.

5) Though the Police may tender appropriate advice initially and facilitate reconciliation process, the preponderance of view is that the Police should not get involved in the actual process and their role should be that of observer at that stage? Do you have a different view?

Conciliation process with the sword of IPC498A or PWDVA hanging over the man’s head fits the definition of extortion under IPC.

6) a) In the absence of consensus as to mediators, who will be ideally suited to act as mediators/conciliators – the friends or elders known to both the parties or professional counsellors (who may be part of NGOs), lady and men lawyers who volunteer to act in such matters, a Committee of respected/retired persons of the locality or the Legal Services Authority of the District?
b) How to ensure that the officers in charge of police stations can easily identify and contact those who are well suited to conciliate or mediate, especially having regard to the fact that professional and competent counsellors may not be available at all places and any delay in initiating the process will lead to further complications?

Conciliation/mediation could be possible only if weapons of male destruction are repealed

7) a) Do you think that on receipt of complaint under S.498A, immediate steps should be taken by the Police to facilitate an application being filed before the Judicial Magistrate under the PDV Act so that the Magistrate can set in motion the process of counselling/conciliation, apart from according interim protection?

b) Should the Police in the meanwhile be left free to arrest the accused without the permission of the Magistrate?
c) Should the investigation be kept in abeyance till the conciliation process initiated by the Magistrate is completed?

Even after IPC 498A and PWDVA are repealed/or made gender neutral, conciliation process can be initiated by the parties themselves. State machinery must not interfere with family related issues. State machinery is better served in protecting citizens irrespective of their gender since their salary is made possible by the citizens(mostly male) themselves.

8) Do you think that the offence should be made compoundable (with the permission of court)? Are there any particular reasons not to make it compoundable?

The only crime is the continuation of IPC 498A and it must not be made compoundable.

9) Do you consider it just and proper to differentiate the husband from the other accused in providing for bail?

The word husband/wife/man/woman must be replaced by ‘spouse’ in the law so that differentiation does not exist while providing bail.

10) a) Do you envisage a better and more extensive role to be played by Legal Services Authorities (LSAs) at Taluka and District levels in relation to s.498A cases and for facilitating amicable settlement? Is there a need for better coordination between LSAs and police stations?

State sponsored/aided agencies must be removed from interfering in family matters.

b) Do you think that aggrieved women have easy access to LSAs at the grassroot level and get proper guidance and help from them at the pre-complaint and subsequent stages?

Not just aggrieved women, even aggrieved men may file complaints under gender neutral IPC laws against anyone.

c)Are the Mediation Centres in some States well equipped and better suited to attend to the cases related to S,498-A?

Mediation Centres in all States are thinly veiled extortion centres which pressurize men to settle for money. Apart from corrupting the already corrupt women, the very people who run the centres are bound to get corrupted.

11) What measures do you suggest to spread awareness of the protective penal provisions and civil rights available to women in rural areas especially among the poorer sections of people?
Establish NCM and MWM.
12) Do you have any information about the number of and conditions in shelter homes which are required to be set up under PDV Act to help the aggrieved women who after lodging the complaint do not wish to stay at marital home or there is none to look after them?

Many innocents & parents are being thrown out of their own homes at the twilight of their lives by the use of PWDVA. Instead the government must fund food and shelter programs in exchange for vocational work by the aggrieved persons. Instead of turning them into beggars and destitutes, the government must instill a sense of hope, dignity and confidence in these people by encouraging them to work and earn for their own living.

What according to you is the main reason for low conviction rate in the prosecutions u/s 498A?

The stupidity and anti-male bias of the law combined with the extortion potential to make easy money on the faulty premise that all women are victims and all men are perpetrators.

13) (a) Is it desirable to have a Crime Against Women Cell (CWC) in every district to deal exclusively with the crimes such as S.498A? If so, what should be its composition and the qualifications of women police deployed in such a cell?

Existing CWC cells must be disbanded as they are extremely prejudicial against men and have become centres of extortion.

(b) As the present experience shows, it is likely that wherever a CWC is set up, there may be substantial number of unfilled vacancies and the personnel may not have undergone the requisite training. In this situation, whether it would be advisable to entrust the investigation etc. to CWC to the exclusion of the jurisdictional Police Station?

I do not know about the training, but my experience with CWC/CAW has shown me that it is extremely anti-male and is efficient at the art of extorting money from men. S.498A lends itself to the corruption of the State Machinery.

Who IS the Goverment?

2010-10-15T10:25:00.001+05:30

All our lives, we were thinking of ourselves, our career, our struggles, our loans, our houses, our spouse, our children, their education, our entertainment and our wellbeing. And to facilitate all this we expected the government to provide infrastructure, ensure peace and harmony, ensure supply of essential goods, protect 'us' from outsiders. And for all this, all we had to do was cast our vote once in 5 years and pay our taxes and obey the law and participate in corrective measures.

Whenever we face atrocious laws like 498A, DV Act etc., we dissociate from the government. We say the government is blind, the police are high-handed, the judiciary is insensitive, and all of the above are plain corrupt and absolutely rotten.

So now the question is who is the government. The government is our own creation. We 'are' the government. We the people, who pay taxes, cast our votes.... As soon as we hit a hurdle, 'we' becomes 'them' and 'us'. Negativity takes over. We see everything in a colour of anger and hurt and cynicism. Who is the enemy? The enemy is within. 'We' made the government, we feed the government, it is our servant, it is 'we'.

The system of correction involves the loop of analysis and also the corrective action. To 'ensure' both, real work is needed and it is only to be done by 'us'.
The government is like a pet animal. It will obey only when commanded and that too only after it is trained. This takes effort from the master, the people and that is us. If the animal bites the master, it is not only the fault of the animal, it is also the fault of the master who has failed to control the animal, who has failed to train the animal properly.

We the people, have been bitten again and again, because we have failed to take proper corrective action. Instead of simply blaming the monster that 'we' have created, 'we' have to take corrective action. The emphasis is on the word 'ACTION'.

So the question is plainly put. Will you ACT or will you just complain to the winds?

I am 498A. I was born to rape men.....

2010-07-21T12:55:00.005+05:30

I am 498A. I was born to rape men and their families. I belong to a gang of rapists and looters. My sister is the famous DVA. She is the wolf in sheep's clothing, but I am the wolf in a lion's clothing. I am a tool of Sexual Harassment and criminal extortion. Usually I am the first to attack unsuspecting married men. I am uniquely gifted in my ability to create terror. Many men prefer to commit suicide after I point my finger at them. Some of them quickly surrender to me and pay me a handsome ransom. Many married women and their parents are inspired by me and very frequently use me to loot their husbands and make quick, huge and tax free money. I am patronized by a lot of twisted bitches and greedy bastards in high places. I am an abomination-in-law. I hate my own existence but I have a strong need to destroy all traces of decency and reason. I was created by deception and twisted statistics motivated by the evil of gender bias. I am fueled by hate and greed. The irony is that I was conceived under the ruse of battling greed and the bogey of gender equality.

I am the real tool of Sexual Harassment; since I discriminate against men only because they are men. I deserve to be punished first under the proposed laws of sexual harassment. I am the institutionalized tool of extortion. I deserve to be punished by the criminal laws against extortion. I deserve to be punished for conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity for my intention to destroy half of it. I deserve to be punished for openly declaring war against the Constitution of the nation I have pledged my allegiance to.

I am boiling with pure hatred against the resilience of some men and women who refuse to give in to my extortion and refuse to give up their fight against me. I have been defeated morally & legally 98% of the time by these people; the very reason for my existence has been brought under the question of justice, but since my creators and my supporters don’t have any shame or faith in the framework of their own laws, I carry on my dark business and my indulge in my sick pleasures. I sense the sword of reason on my neck and I may be beheaded any time, but, till the time comes, I keep testing humanity’s faith in justice.
I am 498A and I was born to rape men and their families…

International Day of Families Speech

2010-05-23T10:39:00.004+05:30

We all need a witness to our lives. 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness' - Movie "Shall we dance"
And if a husband-wife relationship is about having a witness to our lives, then children and their children are the evidences. And we can trace this evidence from the start of the human life till ourselves..you and me.

Only the bonds of family makes all these witnesses and evidences and survival itself meaningful. Only the bonds of family makes us different from rocks and trees. It is not just the family members that make a family, it is the bond that makes a family.

A marriage and family is a framework of these bonds. People change, people die, but these ties remain. We cannot live in isolation. This is the legacy and the blueprint for the survival of the human race.

Today, this very bond, these feelings of trust and love, this is what is being attacked viciously.

For a false and temporary sense of freedom & individuality, the concept of isolation is being propogated with a sense of rabid righteousness. A new regime of laws and politics are being developed. So the question is..

How will the concept of family survive if one gender is shown as genetically and socially superior to the other?
It will not.

Let us observe the bonds themselves. These are built on the values of trust, love and sacrifice.

Today, the whole concept of marriage and family has been brought under the purview of a contract, a mere business of convenience and a framework of transaction.

But trust cannot be enforced by law, love cannot be enforced by state machinery, care cannot be ensured by punishment. Infact, none of these values can be brought under the purview of the State. Which is to say that Government may do anything to support a family system, but may not interfere or try to legalize the family structure. For in the very attempt to 'legalize' marriage, the inference is that anything in a marriage that is not seen as official or under the prying eyes of the State is illegal.

On the contrary, any social experimentation, especially by the government, on family obligations is counter-productive. The results of these experimentations have become spectacularly clear today. Today, we are witnessing the systematic breakdown of the family structures that gave the identity of the human race. In the name of women's empowerment, male hatred is being preached as being fashionable. It is like cutting off one hand to make the other hand look longer. And it does not stop there. The State with the active help of feminist organisations are saying that this is actually good for the human body.

There already exists laws to combat crime and human greed. By categorising crime specific to family situations is an attempt to break down the family structures itself and not the crime.
Let me give you an example. We all have heard of the cases of disproportionate assets by judges and also about corrupt judges. Why is there no special law called the Corrupt Judges Act? The reasons are obvious. They will say that there is already a Prevention of Corruption Act. Dowry harassment is the same as extortion. Then why do we have a Dowry Act when there is already a law against extortion? Why have a domenstic violence act when there is already a law against violence? It is only to feed the egos of a few maniacs in power. These are the people who cannot see a family structure to which they do not themselves belong.

It is a fact that every bond is subject to wear, tear and breakage and it could be for any reason. In a situation where the differences are irreconciliable, the husband or the wife should be allowed to walk away cleanly. But our legal system has biased itself to such an extent that it gives two different verdicts to husbands and wives given the same set of petitioning circumstances. If a man asks for divorce he is automatically labelled irresponsible and if a woman asks she is said to be a victim of circumstances.

It is an irony that the very system of laws like IPC 498A, DV Act & Maintenance Laws which have been created as the champion against the Indian husband's mythical greed and imaginatively systemized violent nature are tools of extortion themselves. A tool of extortion to combat extortion. This is the result of State interference into family life.

If this is not stopped today, very soon, we will witness the destruction of the fabric of family life and the very identity of India will be on the verge of extinction.

I demand the following:

Scrap IPC 498A since appeals to amend the section were ignored.
Scrap DV Act since appeals to amend the Act were ignored.
Progressively ensure that laws do not infringe and intrude into family issues.
Ensure that Government is made to pay damages/compensation to families who had to suffer the trauma inflicted by the creation and execution of these family specific biased laws.

Job Application to the Home Minister

2010-05-23T10:27:00.008+05:30

To,

The Minister of Home Affairs

Republic of India

Dear Sir,

It has come to my notice through a news report that there is a vacancy for the position of Chairman for the National Human Rights Commission. I wish to submit my candidature for the post. The following are my qualifications. I am a natural born citizen of India. I am a qualified mechanical engineer. I had been falsely implicated in a dowry harassment case in 2004. I have defended myself honourably and was acquitted in 2009. In the course of the trial, I have faced the following.

Judicial Remand for two days in Central Prison, Hyderabad.

This shows that I have experienced how easy it is for a common man to be incarcerated in prison without any prima facie evidence. Also, I have a reasonably good experience and awareness of the conditions of our prisons and prison systems. Thereafter, I have seen and experienced the agony of a prolonged trial and I am well aware of the deficiencies in our legal systems. Also, after attending many courts concerned with family issues, I have come across many families suffering similar woes and I can empathize with the common man. I have also interacted with many judges, lawyers & police personnel and have understood that power, prejudice and badly designed systems can affect the judgement of anyone in the system. I understand that there is a need to constantly revise the laws to ensure that they are judicious and effective. This has given me the understanding of the complex power equations that come in play within the system. I believe that every person has the right to live in dignity. I believe that even the biggest of governments may be wrong in making policies from time to time. I believe that if the time comes, we must re-evaluate and re-vamp the system dispassionately. I am neither intimidated by power, nor believe that it is absolute. These form the cornerstone of my being.

With this I support my candidature for the position in question. Please feel free to contact me for any additional clarifications.

Sincerely,

Parthasarathy

'Dowry' Explained in Tanishq's ad

2010-05-05T11:56:00.010+05:30

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfYLu_MhLQQ

This is Tanishq's new jewellery ad. This is the real reason for justifying the existence of laws like IPC 498A and DV Act.

The reality is that most Indian parents push their reluctant daughters into marriages.
The reality is that most women get married for the love of jewellery and riches.
The reality is that it takes a promise of gold for most women to agree to get married.
The reality is that an average woman in India agrees to get married because her parents promises her jewellery and property rights. THIS is the real 'Dowry'.
The reality is that most Indian women get married for all the wrong reasons.

Dowry is popularly imagined to be inducement to the groom for marrying the daughter. But the actual explanation of Dowry is clearly shown in this ad. And this is what is happening in India.

As soon as the glamour of the marriage ceremony wears off and the glitter of the gold fades to the reality of life, these gold-digging daughters of India start dreaming of escaping the drudgery of marriage. And they do it in style, aided by the Mengele of our time, the NCW.

The rest is the reality of false criminal cases against husbands and their families.
The rest is legally aided butchery of men.
The rest is legally aided torment of fatherless children.
And the concentration camps of Indian Family Courts where the poisonous fumes of bias and oppression kills all voices of reason, conscience and the last whimpers of justice.
And all this for these women's lust for gold.

Alimony is Ransom

2010-04-08T13:54:00.005+05:30

http://www.mid-day.com/news/2010/apr/080410-Ayesha-Fareesa-Siddiqui-press-conference-Shoaib-Malik-divorced.htm

We have many words for money not earned. Among other words, Ransom, Extortion, Dowry, Alimony & Maintenance based on the context. However, the concept of forcing by threat of life or litigation; any party to part with their life savings or their projected life savings is the same irrespective of the word used. The underlying element is illegal force, for no man may be forced to live for another.

Simply speaking, the first three words, Ransom, Extortion and Dowry are explicitly classified as illegal by law. But illegal force is not just something that happens outside the law. Sometimes the law can also be illegal. As is the classic and contemporary case of IPC 498A, DV Act and many Maintenance Laws. By forcing any man to part with money to any woman on just the basis of the fact that he is the husband or seemingly the husband or simply accused to be the husband, with the threat of state sponsored force, is itself an act of illegal force under the pretense of law and justice.

To wrap it up, Alimony is equal to Ransom & Maintenance is equal to Extortion.

India joins International Legal Terrorism Club

2010-04-06T12:29:00.003+05:30

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/events-tournaments/sania-shoaib-wedding/Ayeshas-father-files-FIR-against-Shoaib-Malik/articleshow/5760146.cms

With Shoaib Malik's passport being seized by the police in India, this fair country has joined the ranks of terrorist groups who have no compunction in unleashing their twisted ideologies and hatred against another classification of people....in this case the classification happens to be men.

Even men of other nationalities are not spared the trauma of being incarcerated(not yet in Malik's case, but the pain of being defamed and accused in public is just the same). The prime postulate under any law, presumed innocent unless proven guilty, is the first victim under my fair country's legal march against men.

Will the US' war against terrorism include the legal terrorism being exported from India, or will the US support the feminist and gender biased I-VAWA?

Will sports personalities continue to blindly endorse the feminist Taliban of so-called 'Violence Against Women'?

Protector and Provider

2010-03-15T20:30:00.004+05:30

"YES I am a PROTECTOR and PROVIDER of my Mother and Sister as I do that out of love and affection and THEY have done a lot and NOW at this time of CRISIS caused by a sick 498A WIFE they are with me. SO I AM NOT AGAINST THEM AT ALL. I am not against WOMAN but against those PERSONS who are misusing the
laws." - X

Dear X. Your sentiment is well respected by most males in our forum.

1). BUT, this is exactly the same sentiment that our 498A wives' fathers and brothers are using to attack husbands. Because they feel they are the protectors of their women they want to take control of each minute of their daughter's/sister' s life.

2). As for "I am a PROTECTOR and PROVIDER of my Mother and Sister", let us assume that the Protector and Provider dies today. So what is to become of the mother and sister in this 'big, bad male dominated society". Should they perish and die since they dont have a P&P? Should they commit suicide? Should we expect them not to survive at all? Are women(mother and sister)such incompetents that they cant survive at all?

So you see, it is exactly this kind of thinking(based on fear) that led to this current state of affairs. Nobody is asking anyone to hate women, but let us not dont consider them so weak that they cant survive on their own. The fear is in our minds. Let us not allow fear to drive our thinking. It leads to laws like 498A etc.,

ALIMONY = DOWRY

2010-03-15T20:01:00.001+05:30

In a country where equality is supposed to be the norm on paper at least, the concept of alimony in case of divorce is the same as the concept of dowry during marriage. The latter is separation money given by the father towards the daughter and the former by the husband towards the wife. If we are fighting dowry, alimony should also be opposed.

The greatest crime against women is to keep them in servitude and victimize their psyche with the concept of alimony and maintenance. Why is the self respect/dignity of women being destroyed with the concept of Alimony?

Crimes Against Women Cell!!! Yeah Right!!!

2010-03-15T19:59:00.002+05:30

CAW means Crimes Against Women. If you or anyone are summoned by this cell in connection with a complaint(for counselling or not), it means that you are already being treated as a

1). Criminal without trial
2). Criminal who has done crime against women.

Firstly, CAW is a psychological trap designed with only one outcome in mind. To destroy any resistance. The mere act of going to a CAW cell summons will be portrayed as if you and I are going to be sentenced for all the imaginary rapes and molestations done against all women from the present till Eve. It takes a very emotionally stable and clear headed man to come out in one psychological peice.

Secondly, to even acknowledge CAW is to acknowledge the lies of feminists. I will not do that.

Thirdly, let us not take part in putting these feminists in power, not even in a local thana. To do that is to commit Crime Against Men. I totally object to even the existence of the phrase 'Crimes against Women'. I refuse to allow any man to be summoned to any institution named CAW.

Yeh Daag Acche Nahin Hai

This has been bothering me for quite sometime. Yesterday I realized that the Surf Excel Ad with the little school boy who imitates a dog to console and please his teacher(a woman) is basically very demeaning towards men and boys. This ad is very cleverly packaged to make it look like it is a very endearing act of the boy. But in effect it is reflecting society's encouragement of men to undergo such demeaning antics to please women. Observe how the female teacher throws the ball to test the boy's reaction, how she enjoys it and even rewards him after his submissive act. So what is wrong with all this? Imagine the same ad with gender roles reversed. Imagine the reaction of our local feminist groups? It would have been called molestation and the society would have been given a lengthy 6 month lecture about gender sensitization and crimes against women and the girl child.

Break your conditioned chains

You are carrying too much of emotional baggage. Men have been brainwashed into carrying guilt for everything since centuries. These chains of Family, religion, responsibilities, patriotism, chivalry, financial burden(burden all your life and also after death thru life insurance :)), sexual taboo(talk about it, dont talk about it).

Remove all this load from your head, it will feel lighter. Nobody is asking you not to care for your family, only dont feel so responsible for it. Even if I die today, my family will survive, life will go on: Maybe by chance, it will be even better, nobody knows.

Remove that invisible baggage. Think for yourself for a change. There is nothing wrong in being truly selfish. If you are happy, it will affect your family also as a byproduct.

But the fact remains that our environment today is the product of our parents and ancestors, their actions and reactions. You dont have to hate them for it. Its just the facts. Civilization means that men have to get better at their thinking, by removing all the baggage, its like cleaning up the hard drive, removing the viruses and defragmenting it. It sounds hard, but its actually very practical and easy.

I reserve my right to speak out against the Women's Reservation Bill

2010-03-13T17:16:00.004+05:30

Crimes Against Men is on the rise again and is now draped in political correctness. The latest crime against 110 million men has been committed by the Honorable Members of Parliament of India. By introducing and passing the Women’s Reservation Bill, the Honorable MP’s of the Rajya Sabha have yet again committed a retrograde act of sheer discrimination and the gross violation of human rights for representation.

By proposing and passing the reservation of seats for women, these MP’s have not only discriminated against the men who cannot seek nomination, they have also violated the rights of the common people, the electorate, to choose the person they wish to elect.

By supporting the Women’s Reservation Bill, these MP’s are saying that till date, no woman could have made it to the Parliament without the crutches of reservation. These MP’s are trying to make us believe that till now there was 100% reservation for men in the Parliament.

It is an irony and a slap in the face of the intelligence of the Indian public that the 33% of reservation for women is being vociferously and fanatically being preached and proposed by the very same political parties which have fallen short in the number of nomination tickets to women candidates. Did they not have enough number of nominations from women then?

Women’s Empowerment does not mean we should forcibly fill up the Parliament with women. A Member of Parliament is the voice of the constituency. An MP is required to be knowledgeable about the issues faced by the constituency and have a fairly good idea of the solutions and the process of implementing it. That means an MP cannot be nominated or elected or even pre-selected by minimum criterion. Women’s Reservation Bill is a minimum criterion. At best it is a gender based platform; narrow and retrograde; undemocratic and oppressive; and has far reaching negative social implications in terms of civil disaster. Parliament is a place of addressing concerns, not create new oppressive regimes.

Furthermore any woman MP who gets elected on the basis of gender and gender reservation would feel obligated to serve only that gender of her constitution. In her opinion and mindset, men would be delegated to a second gender status with a consequent priority. This is a gross violation of the principles of fair play as attempted to be laid down in the Constitution of India.

The Women’s Reservation Bill is the acceleration of the genocide of the rights of Indian men and initially started by the gender specific laws like IPC 498A & PWDVA. History repeats itself. The day that the guilt ridden whipped stooges of RS passed the Women’s Reservation Bill will always be known as the Krystallnacht of the rights of Indian men. They should remember that what they give away to Women’s Reservation in their magnanimity is not theirs to give away. This should be a reminder to all Indian men that their representative in the Parliament and in the Government does not always have your interests or well being as their prime function or priority.

Gender War is the business of fear

2009-11-25T16:54:00.003+05:30

What is the best way to subjugate any nation? Hot conflicts are expensive, cold wars are simply time taking. A new weapon has taken its place. It is called the gender divide. Throw in financial incentives to one gender of the society, call them the victims and one half of the nation fights another in a never ending landscape of desperation and hatred. The DV Act in India, VAWA in the US and the proposed I-VAWA for us third world citizens is intended to achieve just that.

This is exactly what is happening to our society. Where did IPC 498A come from? How many of us have seen or known a bride burning incident? I know many of you would quote third party witnesses, but how many of you have really witnessed this first hand or know a family which has seen such an incident? The proponents of IPC 498A cite staggering numbers of bride burning. So how come it is not so common after all. Why are they lying? What do they gain out of it? It is purely a business based on fear. And it is a highly profitable business.

The irony of this hate campaign is that it will be profitable as long as they keep projecting women as victims. True empowerment shall never see the light of day. Truly empowered women would naturally reject the idea of victimhood. Women who seek true empowerment do not seek maintenance from husbands.

The myth of statistical increase of crimes against women. The media is being used like a rubber stamp for 'official' statements of falsehood. UN & UNIFEM origin statements are not gospel truth. What we are seeing is just the increase in the number of cases filed. Fundamentally, these cases have to be proved in a court of law to be qualified as a crime. Therefore, it is not a true index of crimes against women. But the fact remains that the campaign of hate and fear and forced victimization of women is being committed by the very people who have proclaimed themselves the champions of women empowerment.

The ugly truth is that the shade of feminism we see is neither feminine nor fair.

My Comment:
Women's rights advocates will always want to break up families to please their jaundiced eyes. People like these want the entire population to have broken up families. Her statements clearly show her intentions. Also she admits that gender biased laws were created just to break up patriarchy. Nowhere has she talked of any real issues faced by women.It is time they reviewed their hate mongering ideology.

The Politics of Hate

2009-10-29T15:51:00.001+05:30

A new social evil is fast becoming apparent. Everywhere we see posters and ads and banners and TV shows sanctimoniously showing the phrase "STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN" endorsed by celebrities and politicians and all the other dimes and nickels.

So its the fashion statement of the century. Wonderful. So which woman or man does not want to repeat it. Lets put the phrase under the sunlight for just a moment. "STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN". Now the questions that really need to be asked is in what is NOT being said.

Does it mean we should not stop VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN?
Does it mean only men commit VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN?
Does it imply that there have been no women criminals till date?
Does it not imply that it is OK to commit VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN?

The SVAW campaign is like saying "Stop Violence against the right eye only"; Who is to speak for the left eye or for the other body parts. These morons who shout from the rooftops or start ringing the neighbour's bell must first ask themselves these questions?

Am I not born of a mother AND a father?
Am I not part of the human race which is made possible by both genders?

And if they cannot convince themselves of saying yes, we can leave them in their twisted mental cages.

Criminal Intimidation of women by proclaimed champions of women

2009-10-22T08:25:00.000+05:30

On 21/Oct/2009, a leading Indian human rights activist Uma Challa was threatened by a phone caller on a live TV discussion at TV5 channel studio. Uma Challa is an emerging voice of reason and a beacon of hope for a very marginalized and rapidly growing section of women who have been the object of hate and false persecution by gender specific and biased laws intended to appease wives only.

This episode has brought a few facts in the open.

That the proclaimed champions of womens rights do not have the mandate to speak for the entire gender. It is not even their intention to do so.
While they employ divisive, hypocritical and apparently conceited concepts like "Stop Violence Against Women", they show no compunction in employing hate and criminal intimidation tactics to suppress women who speak out against their brand of bigotry.
That their ideology is based entirely on hate and stems from a deep rooted fear of life and wholesome living.

My comments on PTI news
On the surface, it seems like NCW is unable to contain its hatred for men. However, it is more to justify its own existence than concern for women. On one hand NCW seeks dignity and equality for women and on the other hand it promotes financial dependency of women on men. This is being done by creating and maintaining maintenance and alimony laws that promote and make permanent a victim mindset among women. At best it is promoting a whole gender into practising legalized begging and extortion, instead of promoting an environment of self reliance and dignity. NCW is causing more harm than good towards women. It is time women realized this and took action against NCW.

Launch of All India Men's Welfare Association

2009-10-11T19:16:00.000+05:30

Since the beginning of the human race, men have taken the role of the provider and the protector of family. Perhaps, for this reason, society thinks that there is no need to protect the protector. Perhaps, it is for this reason today, that men’s rights are being taken for granted.

The Constitution of India guarantees us Equal Rights to men and women under the law. Our Constitution also has an Article to look into the making of special provisions for women. While this may appear fair enough, these special provisions are being misused to make blatantly biased laws against men. These laws and provisions are trampling upon the fundamental right to life and liberty. These laws are being used to divide the human race into two. These laws are being used to extort.

Unable to bear this unfair pressure, 56000 men are committing suicide each year. But today, society has no time nor the inclination to think and reflect upon this.

So many families are being sent to jail each day just on the strength of one accusation.

Men are automatically branded as culprits and made to pay maintenance and alimonies, inspite of the fact that men and women are declared equal as per the Constitution of India.

There is no voice in India to talk about these crimes being committed against men. While there is even a ministry for animal welfare, we do not even have any government platform to even listen to the issues of boys and men.

Today we are launching the All India Men’s Welfare Association to mark a milestone in history. Our voice shall raise. Our message shall be heard.
Our demands are as follows.

A Ministry for Men’s Welfare to allocate funds, resources and nation wide programs for the betterment of men. This Ministry must also be responsible for removing bias against men during the formulating Bills and existing Acts and Laws.
A National Commission for Men to investigate root causes and sources of bias against men.

And to that effect, we will make our efforts to spread awareness among the suffering public.

My speech at the launch of DV Awareness Month- Press Conference

2009-10-05T18:45:00.000+05:30

I am assuming that apart from your careers, when you go back home, you will find yourself in the role of parents, brothers, sisters and children. This is to say that family life is the center of our lives. Any danger or harm to any member of our family hurts the rest of the family, and we, as common citizens, rest our faith in the law enforcement and justice system, laws and procedures, to protect us and our families from harm. What happens when you find out that you and your family members are not eligible for protection just because you happen to be a man or a blood relative of a man?

The Constitution of India guarantees us the Right to Equality under Article 14. But Indian laws against domestic violence do not treat men and women as equals, reminding us of George Orwell's Animal Farm where "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".

In fact, these laws do not even treat ALL women equally. This is due to the fact that these laws see women in only one role. And it is the role of a wife. They see women only as wives. So, daughters, sisters, mothers & grandmothers are being sent to jails along with their sons, brothers and grandsons. They are being thrown out of their homes on the strength of a single unproven accusation.

We are witnessing an unprecedented rise in Human Rights abuse through the enactment and execution of a few laws instituted in the name of empowerment of women.

In an effort to end this discrimination under law and to ensure equal protection for men and women against all forms of abuse, we, the members of Save Indian Family Foundation, All India Forgotten Women, Rishtey and Children's Rights Initiative for Shared Parenting are launching a month-long awareness programme....http://dvawareness-india.blogspot.com/

498A IS Marital Rape
CAW Cell: Crimes Against Women Cell--- They are living up to it ;) Domestic Violence Act IS an act of domestic violence
After 498A comes 499 & 500
Alimony is Dowry; Maintenance is Monthly Dowry

And in a world with an extinct male gender, I wonder how the females would survive, I mean, who would work hard & earn the much needed money for buying the tvs, airconditioners(ref: plunder). Who would foot the bills for the consumerist culture that women love to have & I wonder who would make the ink and paper(ref environment rape)to allow brilliant writers to entertain us with their infallible logic. And Im sure if the rape cases stop then the surviving women would perish if they dont have something to gossip(that would be the bored 46th gene).

Divisive Gender Politics- Crime against humanity

2009-06-24T00:02:00.000+05:30

http://getahead.rediff.com/report/2009/jun/23/nobody-wants-to-touch-the-issue-of-violence-against-women.htm
Feminists are hypocrites
So someone became a feminist because her parents wouldnt give her a snake for a pet. It sounds quite reasonable, dont you think. Of all the reasons for the ism's of the world, this one takes the cake. It has become oh so fashionable to say he/she is a feminist without understanding the real issues that are burning down society. Feminism is one divisive ism which tries to split humanity into half. Someone ought to tell these people, it takes both genders to sustain the human race.

The truth about dowry

2009-05-06T22:30:00.001+05:30

First of all, the whole concept of dowry is fake. It all starts with the parents of the brides trying to wash their hands off their daughters without giving them their share of inheritence. Even if they give it they call it stridhan at that point of time. The minute any problem crops up in the course of married life, the bride and their parents start calling it dowry to threaten and blackmail the husband and his family. These stupid laws have been created by vested interests to make easy money. These vested interests play on the fear of women and men to divide a society. They will bring down anything good. They cannot see anyone else happy. They wallow in the darkness of their imagined fears..

DV Act Hypocrisy

2009-05-05T09:57:00.000+05:30

Ref: http://www.outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20090511&fname=Domestic+Violence+%28F%29&sid=1

This article is based on hypocrisy. On one hand, the proponents of the DV Act, pretend to fight for equal rights for wives. However, they have forgotten that equal rights bring equal duties too. DVA assumes that wives are always victims. Nobody talks of the wife's right to property from her own parents. This route conveniently reaches a place where it is called dowry. Indira Jaising's comment "Being thrown out of the house is one of the commonest forms of violence against women." is the truth, albeit being committed by the wife's own parents against their daughter!!!! !. But nobody wants to acknowledge this fact. Society has found it convenient to blame husbands and their parents.
Indira Jaising again speaks the truth without realising it..""When you use the act to gain access to property, you are badmouthed as a gold-digger. But gaining access to economic resources, including property, is a legitimate part of the act.".. YES.. GAINING ACCESS to economic resources... et al has become a legitimate part of the ACT of getting MARRIED by modern indian wives..AND by all means they are doing it, actively helped by disgusting laws and official machinery.
