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.

22 Jan 10 498A- (DRACONIAN LAW) A Syndrome of False Cases
The Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, which was passed in the year 1983, is GENDER BIASED, ONE-SIDED AND FAULTY. The irony of the whole system is that every department is hell-bent upon harassing and punishing the Husband’s family even before being proven guilty. The injustice begins right from the police station where every marital discord is converted into a 498A and the injustice continues all the way to the court for years together.
The whole Government system inspite of being aware of the MISUSE of this section is allowing it to continue because each one has a share in the money extorted from the husbands’ families. The ordinary citizens being unaware of this LEGAL-TERRORISM remain entangled in their problems and nobody questions the inadequacies of the Government, the Politicians, the NCW, the Bureaucrats the Law-makers, and the Judiciary. The common man is totally ignorant of these real facts. The real truth behind the Government allowing the anti-MALE, GENDER-BIASED AND ONE-SIDED laws to continue without any AMENDMENTS for years shows that the Government has no intentions to curb the menace of Section 498A MISUSE. The shop of the police, the lawyers and judiciary will stop once the law is made BAILLABLE, so the whole system wants the society to be always kept in fear of this law and there will be no one to check their supremacy.

11 Nov 09 A twist to the saas-bahu saga
They are looked upon with suspicion, Hindi soaps portray them as scheming, and when you get married, you are advised to fulfill her needs before yours. But in the modern times, tables seem to have turned. It’s the age of the daughter-in-law, rue mothers-in-law, who have come together to form Akhila Karnataka Atheya Rakshana Vedike (Karnataka Mother-in-law Protection Forum), supporting Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF). Over 100 mothers-in-law are a part of this association. “We have come together to fight against our daughters-in-law who have slapped false complaints against families by misusing Sec 498 (a) of the Indian Penal Code,” said Rajeshwari C, President of the Forum.
