30 Jul 10 Of the women, by the women, for the women

I have, of late, been surfing the Internet for newspaper articles related to the misuse of Sec 498A. In the course of my search, I have come across several stories related to the abuse women (they say women, but they actually mean wives) face in their homes at the hands of their ‘tyrannical’ husbands. What surprises me is that only a handful of women are quoted in these articles. It is as if Ranjana Kumari (director of the Centre for Social Research and president of WomenPowerConnect), Girija Vyas (National Commission for Women chairperson) and ‘eminent’ lawyer Flavia Agnes, among a few others, are the sole representatives of the female population in India.

01 Jul 10 Laws are not above Human Lives

India is democratic country which means Government of the people, by the people and for the people. But the laws are made of the one-sided feminists and biased views of a few leaders and these “wrong laws” are passed by the law-makers which in turn are implemented by the police, the judiciary and lawyers which are supposed to be for the people. But do such unethical and biased laws really give justice to the innocent and falsely victimized citizens? The Police having insufficient or no knowledge of laws is given the powers to harass and arrest people. The poor innocent citizens are terrorized under the pretext of following the laws and orders.

The Gram Panchayats are prevalent from decades in our country. Although the “Mukhiya” of these panchayats are not much learned people but they are far much better off than the so-called “Learned and well educated Judges” of all the courts. The panchayats are capable of disposing of any matters coming to them immediately after patiently hearing both the parties, but the honorable judges although having a study of the laws are incapable or rather reluctant to deliver judgments or grant justice to the litigants even after years. Is it that these learned judges are ignorant of the laws that have to be followed or is it that they do not sense the “accountability and responsibility” that is on their shoulders?

05 Jun 10 Woman Empowerment or Woman Endangerment

In the recent past a lot has been said about woman empowerment and much hype is given to it as well throughout the world. India is a country that has always over-pampered and over protected only one section of woman (young wives and daughters-in-law (DIL)), but has totally ignored and overlooked the other two-thirds section of woman (mothers and sisters of husband) to a large extent in every sphere of society by the Government, the law makers and the Judiciary.

The NCW and WCD Ministry has from years promoted and sensitized the false information of wives or daughter-in-law being harassed and tortured either by men or in-laws in order to extract huge funds from the UNICEF, USAID, UN and other funding agencies. The accountability and credibility of this information is never questioned whether the funds are really used for the purpose that should be served. The money is spent in false propaganda of woman being harassed for dowry or violence through the print and electronic media which has a great false impact on the mindsets of people in general.

01 Jun 10 Stuff soaps are made of

Written by Geeta Padmanabhan

For how long will serial writers keep painting mothers-in-law as manipulative, bossy, greedy and territorial? It’s time to get realistic!

Two women at the mall — one says: “My mother-in-law is an angel.” The other says: “You’re lucky. Mine is still alive.”

The “Monster-in-law” and “suffering daughter-in-law” tales were probably true once, but isn’t it time TV serial writers buried them for good?

One suspects the prickly mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship has been carefully nourished by script-writers. Think of it; stereotyping sells — the mother-in-law is manipulative, bossy, greedy and territorial; every word she utters is a poisoned barb; the mere shadow of the daughter-in-law brings out the devil in her; the helpless daughter-in-law, the martyr, puts up with the 24 X 7 abuse. Phew!

30 May 10 Juggling two mothers-in-law, woman makes off with 50 lakh

saasbahu1.jpgNew Delhi: If you are one of those who feel incomplete without a daily dose of their favourite Saas-Bahu serials on TV, then you must know the confounding nature of the relationship between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law.

So when a woman is juggling two mothers-in-law, your sympathies would probably lie with the former. Well, you might reconsider when you hear the rather interesting conduct of this bahu.

Meetu Talwar, a resident of West Delhi, allegedly drugged and robbed her two mothers-in-law off jewellery worth Rs 50 lakh on Friday night. The accused’s husband Nirmohan Singh is a businessman and is currently in the US.

Nirmohan’s father has two wives, Savinder Kaur and Har Kaur; both live with Neetu at A-97, Krishna Park in Tilak Nagar.

On May 14,Meetu Talwar served some mango shake to her mothers-in-law. The elderly women had their fill and went to bed. They woke up next morning at 9 am. (more…)

21 May 10 The Anti Legal- Terrorism Day in India

The World Anti-Terrorism Day is observed all over the world on the 21st of May. Coincidentally, on the 20th of May 2005 Honorable Supreme Court of India termed misuse of Section as 498A as “Legal Terrorism” in its landmark judgment by Justice Arijit Pasayath.

Hence, in the same context, in India a day should be dedicated as “The Anti Legal- Terrorism Day”. It is the need of the present day as many unconstitutional, gender-biased, one-sided  “wife-centric and “Draconian Laws’ such as Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, Domestic Violence Act, the many Maintenance laws, Child-Custody and Divorce Law  are being randomly “Misused” by “Wives” and “Daughters –in –law” only with the sole intention of harassing the husband and in-laws and extorting a huge amount either as “Alimony or Maintenance” by manipulation of facts and false allegations on the whole family.

07 May 10 The Mothers Day

The world is celebrating “The International Mother’s Day” on the 9th of May. But the members of “All India Mother’s-in-law Protection Forum” (AIMPF) in India will observe this day as a “Mourning Day” to protest against the Indian Government. The NCW and the WCD Ministry are lethargic and inefficient to give protection to the old and victimized mothers of the Indian husbands from their disgruntled, vicious and revengeful daughters-in-law. On Sunday, the 9th May, the members will be meeting in Cubbon Park in the city of Bangalore to observe this day.

04 Apr 10 The Court room or the Greatest Stage

The Indian court-room is the greatest stage where the show of giving justice must go on but injustice continues for years just like the daily TV serials which continue for years. A movie or a reality show on television ends in three hours but the court room stage show is endless. The award winning actors being the criminal – minded young wives and their families who present concocted stories but with crocodile tears which are conveniently accepted by the judiciary as gospel- truth.

  • Is the Judiciary made up of good actors and dramatists and are the lawyers the brokers of human lives who never hesitate in dragging the cases for their fees?
  • Why does the Judiciary act as a donor of dates (read adjournments) to the criminal wives on flimsy grounds or frivolous reasons even though knowing very well that the cases filed by such women are false?
  • Is it not injustice to the innocent husband and his family?
  • Why do the courts believe in granting huge alimonies and maintenance to the capable and educated but adulterous young wives who only yearn for rights but refrain away from responsibilities and duties as a wife and daughter-in-law?
  • Does the judiciary think it a moral duty to follow the age old tradition or is it a sexual favor on their part?

    15 Mar 10 Daughter-in-law broke my finger, barred me from my home: 80-year-old widow

    Colaba resident plans to appeal in HC after lower court rules against her due to lack of evidence

    By Ram Parmar

    An 80-year-old widow has alleged that her daughter-in-law assaulted her, resulting in a broken finger, and barred her from her own Colaba flat. The widow filed a suit in March 2009, but the judgement went against her. She now plans to appeal in High Court.

    Diana Demello, 81, accused her daughter-in-law Carol of throwing her out of her flat in Esperanca building at Colaba in 2004. Since then Diana has been living at Vasai with her 77-year-old maid.

    Diana has four children, three settled in US, while a son Darryl is in the Merchant Navy and is married to Carol. Diana’s husband died in the 80s.

    How it began

    Diana Demello

    Diana said trouble began in March 2004, when her 96-year-old mother expired in Goa. When Diana returned from Goa, she was denied entry to her Colaba flat by Carol, who she alleges assaulted her, breaking a finger. “I complained to the Colaba police, but was not pleased with the manner in which they treated the case,” said Diana. “Despite being a senior citizen, I was denied justice.”

    As her children were abroad, Diana decided to leave Colaba and stay at Vasai where she had already purchased a flat. “I settled there and informed Darryl about Carol’s behaviour. But the trouble continued.
