Bharat Bandh - POLITICAL DRAMA....

 

Govt.playing smart game by rising prices petroleum products just to divert all attention from scams happening in the country.Many a times it seems to coalition game played by ruling & opposition parties together,so that the common man can never think of any movements.
What we are getting by supporting this bandh called by bunch of fool people,we are proving ourselves as biggest fools.People are getting affected in many ways by such protest happening.Country had come to standstill by such actions.Bandh or strike will not only paralyse the normal life but also cripple the supply of goods, which in turn would further push up their prices and exacerbate the economic condition of the people.
These political one-day drama is set to protest petrol price rise but how effective is this strike? This political one-day drama will end in the evening and nothing will happen.
There has been some clever protests around the world that shook the management/government badly and it changed the scenario around:
1.Single shoe manufacturing in China
In China, the labourers were fighting for their benefit income and decided to go for a strike. But, their protests went unheard and they could not make its maximum use. But, again on the other day, they decided to join the work but protest by manufacturing only single shoe per pair. This movement shook the management with loss of millions of dollars and labourers won the fight.
2. Farmers protest by growing
Well, the work of a farmer is to grow and they protested by growing!  Farmers in USA protested by planting various farm products on the field and did’nt harvest any plant. These incurred a loss of thousands of crores of dollars to the company. The vegetables/fruits got rotten on the field itself incurring huge losses.
3. By Non-violence
How can we forget the biggest ever protest done that freed India from the clutches of Britishers. Mahatma Gandhi’s unique non-violence protests over the years led to freedom of the country. These protests were so silent that Britishers had no weapon to use and they moved out of India.
Dr.Manmohan Singh listen to us or else you will hear us in 2014(or may be before that)

RIGHT TO REJECT/RECALL in DEMOCRACY necessary for Electoral Reforms

UPEW analyzed affidavits of 317 candidates out of 1,029 candidates who are contesting the third phase of UP assembly elections. Out of these 317 candidates, 121 candidates (38%) declared criminal cases against them.They are facing serious criminal charges like murder, attempt to murder, theft and extortion.
This statistics is just a part of India,overall numbers will be nightmare to CEC.
Don't you think these figures are dangerous for democracy?
 All political parties have made narrow-minded, extremely bigoted ... statements against each other as if they were in the race to prove who was more conservative and backward and who would be the first to destroy this nation by such ideologies.
No wonder people showed fatigue and displayed lack of enthusiasm in the type of democratic exercise now repeatedly held to elect the begging candidates so that on being elected they can sit in power and loot us, and amass wealth and power for their dynasties.
Their slogan seems to be, ‘Cast your vote in favour of one whom you want should amass wealth!’
Are our aspirations being fulfilled, even minimum security of life and basic services like food, water, shelter being met by the system created?

We need electoral reforms empowering people with the right to reject a candidate or recall an elected representative to save the country from being led by corrupt leaders.
Few Suggestions in Electoral reforms :
  • Voting should be made compulsory for all eligible voters in India
  • Simultaneous Election of Union & State Legislatures
  • Fixed tenure of elected legislative bodies with no-confidence motion followed by a confidence motion
  • Decrease number of registered parties
  • Increase the amount of security deposit
  • Not allowing candidates to contest from more than one constituency in an election
  • Use of common electoral rolls in the union and state elections
  • Making false declarations in election affidavits an offence
  • Allowing negative/neutral voting
  • Ban on publication of exit/opinion polls results till voting is over for all phases

Is Monetary Compensation any answer to a RAPE?

Hitting out at the Mayawati government for rising incidents of rape and murder in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav declared that he would ensure government jobs to every rape victim if his party won the assembly polls.Once the Samajwadi Party government is in place in Uttar Pradesh, not only will we ensure that rapists and murderers do not go scot-free, but we will also ensure due respect to rape victims.
As we know Mumbai is financial capital of the country, Kolkata cultural capital, Delhi has earned dubious distinction of being RAPE capital of the country. The city is notorious for being one of the world’s most unsafe cities for women. 1 of every 4 rapes in India is committed in Delhi.
Figures revealed by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) of home ministry are startling. In 2010, 489 rape cases were reported in Delhi against 459 in 2009. The number of rape case reported in Mumbai and Bhopal were 189 and 117. Abduction and molestation of women is also on the increase in Delhi. 1379 out of total 3544 cases of abduction took place in the capital. New figures given by Delhi Police reveal that a woman is raped every 18 hours or molested every 14 hours in the capital. A staggering 56 percent accused in rape cases were below the age of 25. 
“ Rape is one of the most violent form of crime against women, which not only impacts her bodily but in the long run impairs her capacity to develop meaningful personal and social relationships, and affects her life and livelihood"
But why do women get raped? Rape has happened and it happens in all cultures, in all societies world over. It’s a tricky question. The society’s gender based inequality approach of course encourages crime against women. The perception will differ. A psychoanalyst may find reason for criminal tendencies in the upbringing of the rapist or in the lack of his education. A religious person may accuse women for provocation. Recently a Russian Priest claims women wearing miniskirts should not be surprised if they get raped.
“If she is wearing a miniskirt, it is provocation. If she is drunk at the same time then she is even more provocative and if she herself is actively seeking contact with people and the surprised when that contact ends in rape, she is wrong”.
Left to their judgement. But why Delhi is so vulnerable? Delhi girls don’t wear miniskirts on the streets, they aren’t drunk either, and then why are they targeted. Modesty of women in Delhi is always on stake. Everyone from little girls, six months old children to grandmothers become victims. Age is no barrier for crime against women. Is Delhi male so sex starved? It is difficult to decode DNA of a rapist.  
According to some statistics only one in 69 rape cases in India are even reported, only 20 percent of these cases result in conviction of the rape accused. Very dismal situation as far as law to protect women in India for safety of women is concerned.

Does Mr.Mulayam understand the pain of rape victims,it seems he is trying promote crime by offering govt. jobs. Only compensation which will heal the wound is death sentence to the accused & not the job
Revamp of police force and more teeth to law to fight against this heinous crime against women is immediate need of the hour.
