First He - Latter She

FIRST HE, LATTER SHE 

Well I say; Grow-up people and cut the crap. I wish everyone could. People often discuss upon the sexual harassment & physical assaults; and every time end up agreeing on a solution that ‘its women who should wave her Right & adapt’.

It’s been a while now & the debate still continues, so it will in foreseeable future. The debate is a typical Boy-Gal differentiation that our society always put to hinder all efforts of establishing ‘Equality’. It arises of a situation where everyone easily concludes that it is woman who should, always, resist, adapt & move on.

 We hardly stand with them & help them raise their voice against the wrong doers. Rapes & several other kinds of assaults have been increasing, actually they have been reported increasingly, as much as we hear of it we seem to settle with the fact that men aren't going to change therefore we should help our Mother, Wife, Sisters & Daughters learn some basic defence moves or perhaps, the complex ones too like Martial-Arts. It is good, very good though, as it will be beneficial to them somehow. Precisely women themselves have accepted this scenario as they carry pepper spray, mobile app, SOS tools etc; to help them out of danger. Yet again it is absolutely prudent to think about own safety. Ethically this should be second priority as it is a choice between Right & Right. Adopting preventive measures against a disease is good but when we can be immune as well as eliminate the roots of disease why not take steps towards this.

Logically, prevention can’t be ultimate solution. At times it may be helpful but often defensive moves would provoke the un-stable men to be more hostile; further leading women to be more vulnerable. Such threat would always prevail until men are well taught & become wise enough to respect opposite gender. When we come across something wrong which might someday cause harm to our loved ones what we do towards it, do we learn some fancy stuff so that we can prevent ourselves & let the cause exist or we chase it down and eliminate it. Similarly, why do we teach, rather dictate, females over what to do & what not to instead of teaching men how they should behave; why don’t we dictate them to be matured enough & keep a check over their testicles when they see women in short dresses around. When Mother teaches her son Manners why don’t she teach him to respect woman. When Father shows his son right path to success why don’t he guide his son about the relations of male & female. Why don’t Sisters teach their brothers grace, friendship & ability to respect the fact of equality between different man and woman. This rarely happens, we are into a World were men live & grow up with fake Masculine dominance and arrogance, it further takes us to gender discrimination due to which every time sword is dropped upon woman’s head. Below is the link which elaborates the fault in upbringing of a male child.

Above video would have justified my point? Basically boys don’t learn true values rather they are preached that, women are inferior to them, home-keeping servants or mere sex objects. This exacerbates the modern scenario. In a world like this teaching women martial arts is futile. If we wish to establish equality, it has to be worked from grass-root level and that starts our home, by teaching our father, brother, son & friends.

Pathetic it is, that we are into an age where we have to teach people to respect women.

VOTE, DON’T BE AN eSCAPEGOAT

 To run a huge democracy, a proper governance is needed. India is the largest and colourful democratic country. As the Government is of the people, for the people, by the people, so we have the power to govern the nation through elections. Elections are the foundation of a democracy. Here, it is people's responsibility to form and run a government, by electing representatives. The most significant aspect is the divergent fabrics of its voters. Voters can weave the nation into a utopian nation, if they know about their power. Voting provides an opportunity for the people to evaluate the activities of their representatives

According to the election commission of India, the electoral population in 2014 is about 8 billion, the largest in the world. Even after the nose dive in the electoral figures in the past decade, this time, 2014 shows a tremendous hike. It’s the sanguine sign of participation that there is an increase of 20 crores newly eligible voters. The perennial efforts of nurturing up the awareness epidemically, make this out of the blue. Illuminate one, and one will pass the light to the many.

2014, struck with the enormous rise in voters, but still there is meagerness in the figure. Although youths are enthusiasts, but there’s a void in participation. They could garner a majority of electors. Moreover, most women show less interest in election activities. They were denied suffrage till the early 20^th. They stood in the cavernous, as it was the household chores which they meant to be confined in. Even if women go for voting, some of them do it prejudicedly. There’s a need to engender independent political view. This subtle lack in participation, upsurging the need to make people aware of their voting rights and to persuade them to vote. Our ngo ‘AnantAman’ is trying to inculcate consciousness among people about the election. Efforts are being made to nurture up the rudimentary awareness of giving vote and how important it is.

  Free and fair elections are the soul of the democracy. It’s essential for the election to be impartial, free & fair, if the true will of the people is to be made known. For this, voters must be able to vote without fear or threat. Fair elections take place when people are allowed to select the candidates of their choice. Voters should have the necessary information about all the candidates.

The main hindrance to the fabrication of smooth running democracy is the passive roles of voters. Common voters seldom took pain to get the names of their family members enlisted on electoral rolls as an important task. This dormancy of genuine voters also provokes interest in political parties to faux names, included in the electoral lists of a particular area. There is a possibility of another voter impersonating us, if we don’t cast our vote ourselves. This in turn defeats the very purpose of democracy. Rightly speaking, you have no right to comment on as to what public representative are doing, when you don’t bother to vote.

It’s necessary to vote in democracy because participation by the citizen is the governance of the country. Voting is not only a right, but it is also a duty. Before you start blaming the system for your sufferings, you should do your duties.  Even if you are an anarchist, it’s good to be get blue nailed first, rather than sitting back on the couch and complaining about the wrongdoings. It’s the blue in the face, if you think to change the system without being a part of it. If you want the change, then be the change, take a stand, just move a step ahead to the polling booth and convert your opinion to action by casting the vote.  Always remember, it’s not them, but we, who make the government. Spread the awareness around yourself, let the people motivate to participate in elections. Vote sapiently, unbiasedly, as it will decide the nation’s future.

There is a voice inside of you,

That whispers all day long.

“I feel that this is right for me

I know that this is wrong”

Don’t let it die, reverberating inside,

Don’t be reticent, you can have a voice.

Voices of many would coalesce into an uproar,

Only that voice would fabricate the dream nation.

Voice should stand independently of others’,

Let your voice be heard, so cast your vote.

Your vote is your power; and

Will construct your future.

So vote, don’t be an eSCAPEGOAT.
