From the Land Where Draupadi was Disrobed


Today, the men of the land where Draupadi was disrobed have spoken, openly, honestly and with bravery.
Rapes are prevalent in India, not in Bharat said the RSS chief, Mohan Bhagwat. Vishwa Hindu Parishad, blamed the western model of lifestyle for growing incidents of sexual assault on women including rape, saying cities were losing the values.
Someone had to hold the truth to my face for all the follies I have committed. The brave men did it, when all the humans in India were shocked and hurt by the brutality of rape in the moving bus of Delhi. They could not have chosen a much appropriate timing! I, the woman of India, hang down my head in shame and agree that I am the one who is to be blamed for all the atrocities committed on me, like rapes, infanticide, sati, nude worship, devadasi system and dowry deaths. Off course everything happened only after I willingly migrated away from the safe Bharat, to the crime country India.
All the Americans should also stand with me and hang down their heads in shame as they are equally responsible for what is happening in this country I have migrated to. According to Ashok Singhal, “This western model is alarming. What is happening is we have imbibed the US. We have lost all the values we had in cities,”
President Obama, no matter how much you respect and love your wife, you need to be ashamed of yourself for not stopping the crime against women taking place in India.
I wonder who did the Americans meet during the Draupadi vastraharan? Was it the Kauravas or the wife of Pandavas? As the Kauravas were men, it must have been Draupadi who must have been influenced by the western culture. Was it her waist hugging tight jeans that Dushasana failed to pull off? Vyasa made a typo, I think, as he clearly said it was her sari that was pulled off in front of her 5 valiant husbands and a court filled with honorable (????) men.
Though Columbus yet had to discover USA, the honorable men and women of the past India, had been influenced by the Americans through some mysterious means. How else can I explain the erotic temple architecture of Khujaraho and the Kamasutra?
The problems of India began when women like Draupadi ventured out in night, all alone, wearing western clothes. Until then all the women, surrounded by the strong protective walls of Bharat were safe. Don’t ask me about Sita haran, because Kailash Vijayvargiya has answered that already so diplomatically. The arrogant woman had crossed the line, allowing Ravaan to kidnap her.
Yeah, there is one more case of the woman Renuka, who had committed grave crime of looking at a man. Off course the sage (????) was so angered by the misconduct, that he ordered his sons to kill their mother. Parashurama obeyed his father and beheaded his mother. After all father is the head of the family, what is the head of a mother after all? That was our great Bharat. And now we have this weird India in its place.
 How good were the Men in Bharat, the people who respected women so much that they burnt her alive with her dead husband, but they never bothered about the men whose wives were dead. After all it is the woman who should be protected and taken care of, not the men; what other best way can you suggest then burning her with her husband. She can then be given a status of goddess and worshipped. What more should a woman ask for?
We had Gods too in Bharat, who were very eager to please women even against their wishes. May be Indra hails from Bihar; I may have to ask Raj Thackeray and confirm this. All people were worried about the young girl who lost her life, without paying attention to Raj Thackeray and saying how right he was about the Biharis. How the people can be so mean to him? Coming back to Indira, it is said he disguised as the Ahalya’s husband and raped her. Who else would disguise himself as a husband and molest a good wife Ahalya other than a Bihari? If Indra was from Maharashtra, would he behave thus?
One more politician Mr. Botsa Satyanarayana found the brutal rape, torture and unthinkable barbaric act of six men on a helpless young woman to be a minor incident. What if she lost her intestine? There are many more young women still left in India, even after killing the girl child in the womb, who can be tortured again. The major event was the UPA president showing her sympathy to the girl. The badly wounded girl, who lost her life must have sure landed in heaven, now that she had direct connection with the center government. What a lucky girl? A minor incident and she got attention of Sonia Gandhi herself.. in Botsa’s own words ” It is highly commendable on the part of Sonia to respond to the situation so quickly”. 
No wonder we shout at the top of the voice, ‘MERA BHARAT MAHAN’.
Joining the enlightening men is a woman, Dr. Anita Shukla who knew what to do best when surrounded by six lusty men who wanted to rape a woman. Take her advice people as she is a well educated woman, Secretary of Lions Club and an agricultural scientist by profession. Don’t be on roads after 10 p.m., don’t instigate men and finally surrender and beg the rapists to stop and save your intestines. Noted madam, on stone.  
That should have been enough, but can an elephant be left behind without speaking. Yes, Spiritual Guru Asaram Bapu who claims he is an elephant, whereas anyone speaking against him is a dog, did not need all those lawyers and courts to pass his judgment. Must be a Bharatiya Nar. In a jiffy he knew that the Delhi gang rape victim is as guilty as those responsible for the barbaric sexual assault on her. "Only 5-6 people are not the culprits. The daughter is as guilty as her rapists...
She should have called the culprits brothers and begged before them to stop... This could have saved her dignity and life. Can one hand clap? I don't think so,"  
I bow down and rub my forehead on the ground this wise man has treaded upon. What wise words from a spiritual guru. He is sure going to leave behind a legacy of many wise people who must have been thus enlightened by his wisdom. My hand is itching and saying, one hand cannot clap, but it can slap. Wonder why?
All said and done, now somebody give me a ticket and passport, so that I can go back to the land called Bharat, where I will be safe and protected by its men.

    1. Unfortunately Bikramjit, like you must learned recently, some silly people just love publicity, be it good or bad. People are not making leaders anymore, we just do not have any choice. :(

  3. When people wear blinkers, they can't see beyond their ideological noses! Humour, irony, knowledge, data .. nothing can convince them as long as they stay with their blinkers! By the way Kauravas did not try to disrobe Draupadi, they were only "eve-teasing"!

    1. LOL.. we go through such torture everyday. When eve teasing will be dealt with harshly, the rapes will come down by itself.

  4. That was an apt summarising of the foot-in-the-mouth comments made on the issue so far. The examples you have made use of are very convincing Ma'am and I'm gonna share this right now with my friends who believe straying from our culture is the root of the evil called rape.
    One good thing that has happened after this brutal incident, apart from the protests, is that it has let lose our politicians and self-styled gurus and others to make such inane comments and expose the deep rooted misogyny in our culture.

    1. Thank you Sudha. Culture is good, but it is also root cause of child marriage, blaming women for every wrong thing (Eve, Pandora, -don't you see women behind troubles of men?) and many more socially evil blind practices too.
      I am very saddened that it took the sacrifice of an innocent young girl to show wake us up Indians and bring out the true colors of people who lead us.

  5. well.. i want to say that instead of doctors or engineers there's a need of a large amount of psychologists..and i am totally against the view that western life style is the root cause of such heinous crimes.. its the waste-type style of today's men that are creating a havoc.. n please about our politicians.. there are i think 25 of them who have been tagged as rapists.. still getting tickets for the elections... seriously a routine check is around the corner for we men.. to think what have we become now..!! its now a shame being a boy now..!!! who knows what a girl next to me.. might be thinking about me..

    1. You are right Pratik, the rapists are allowed to contest elections, unfortunately people vote for them too. That is the sad part of our leadership. I am serious here, for time being I am loving my daughter more than my son, if that is how a mother is feeling, I cannot imagine what the girl next to you is thinking.

  6. Very well said Farida.

    Its now time for people to burn candles not in memory of the victims but for those who have taken an oath to protect the citizens and have miserably failed.

    Candles for those who are taking the gullible population for a ride and doing nothing to address some of the core social evils that have almost lynched the fabric of our Society.

    1. More than anything else, what scares me is the attitude of the people towards crime. Why don't they understand that the victim cannot do much to stop the crime? When a 5 year old girl gets kidnapped from her home and raped by her neighbor, where is the provocation. I just hope the awareness that has been created will not be forgotten among the Indians who usually suffer from Short term memory loss.
