Rapes!!! But we are busy in Elections - Molitics

Phallogocentrism, a theory given by a renowned French-philosopher "Jacques Derrida"  to refer the privilege of masculinity in the construction of meaning and reinforcing the male dominance, as they feel that they are so-called blessed because they are born as a male or having a special superpower which may work through their phallus.

Now the point is that at the time of Loksabha Elections 2019 why am I talking about male dominance or such feminist theories. Because in this competitive time everyone is rushing behind the interviews of various leaders or covering up the malicious or malevolent words they are speaking. Well, the reason is the way the press is turning the blind-eye over the increasing rapes, the brutality of the rapist and the delayed punishments in such cases.


In India Rape has turned the fourth most common crime against women. In the past two months when the whole media was busy in covering the political propagandas no harsh step was taken against the rapist of Alwar rape case, the rape of 3 year old in Jammu and the brutal rape case where the lady burnt herself so that no one would rape her.

 

The police reports for 2017 and 2018, from January 1 to May 15 in both years themselves show an increase in reported cases of rape from 757 to 780. 

However, there is a drop in the total number of heinous crimes in Delhi by roughly 5.6% but the rape crimes are increasing by 3.03% in the country’s capital. In Delhi alone, 20% of cases reported in the first two months of 2018 are still pending and we are among the 10 most unsafe countries for the women.

Humanity and ethics are seen losing its value when we see that in the Himachal rape case a schoolboy is accused to rape a three year old girl in the school, but in our country, we see the age of the rapist irrespective the age of the victim while passing the verdict. In UP a woman burns her body because she has been raped more than 20 times with the will of his husband through his friends but no one heard her cry.

Leaders have all the time to do politics over the Alwar rape case and our constitution can be amended to target the vote bank through “Swarn Arakshan” but no amendments can be made against the rape crimes. Moreover, a woman can be punished without any second thought for making a meme over the CM of Bengal and can be tortured for 5 days. But days, weeks or months will pass and no verdict will come to thrash the evil face of phallogocentrism.

JNU Violence: Who’s The Real Culprit?

There was a piece of disturbing news that came from   JNU   in Delhi. Masked men and women who were armed with sticks and stones, they beat students and teachers and vandalized property at the university. The mob also attacked a team of doctors and nurses that went to JNU to give first-aid to students and broke the windows of their ambulance. The attack has left 34 people injured.  The campus had been tense for a few months as one section of students had been protesting against the sharp increase in   hostel fees   by the university authorities. Even if somebody disagrees with the ideology of JNU students or any other university,   violence   is not a solution. There should be no place for violence in a democratic and civilized society. Who’s responsible for these attacks? According to reports, a radical group has taken the responsibility for the violence that took place in JNU on the eve of   5th Jan . They could be behind this attack...

Prashant Kishor calls JDU a ‘bigger party’, demands larger share of seats

The recent statement on seat sharing formula by the JD(U) Vice President Prashant Kishor, has increased worries for the Bharatiya Janata Party. Prashant Kishore, a well-known poll strategist, who helped Modi win  2014 Lok Sabha elections , is one among those who strongly opposed the  Citizenship Amendment Act  (CAA). On this, he even urged the non-BJP chief ministers to “save the soul of India” by saying no to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill [ CAB ].  Prashant Kishor was the first JD(U) leader to publicly express disappointment over his party’s support to CAB in the Lok Sabha, holding that the legislation discriminates against people "on the basis of religion". If this is an act of vengeance, who else can tell this better than him? It is an established fact that after Modi’s victory in 2014 general elections, Prashant departed from the Modi camp, after there were disagreements over the lateral entry of people into government. The election strategis...

Declining Indian Economy: Facing A Tough Time

The recent annual financial stability report released by the RBI on the 27th of December 2019 shows that there’s a structural slowdown in India. The report says that the situation is disturbing. The   IMF   has guided India to take immediate action to revive the economy. Dr. Arvind Subramaniam( Cheif Economic Adviser) and Mr. Josh Felman observed that the economy seems headed for an intensive care unit. How bad is the situation In 1991-92, the Indian economy was facing its worst time ever. The industry growth was -9% and the   GDP   was growing at just 1.1%. Comparing the current situation, the industry growth is -10% and the GDP growth is 4.5%. But, looking at the past data, this growth rate is also under question.  There’s a question mark on GDP figures. It can never be 4.5% as the conditions are similar to 1991-92.  The 2017-18 reports show that the consumer goods production growth rate was 5% and at present it’s -1%. India’s exports were 9% ...
