The tide is turning slowly and steadily

Sisters and Brothers,

Be assured that the tide is slowly but steadily shifting against laws like 498A and DV act . The pressure is mounting on the police, judiciary and the ministry to do something about it .

The media coverage is also playing a major role in bringing out abuses under these clauses .If you see the media off late , you see more news of the abuses under these laws than actual dowry cases. Not a day goes by when I do not one major newspaper or TV channel running an article or program on the abuses under these draconian laws .

Lots of women are coming out and openly speaking out against these laws both in TV and Media , and why wouldn't they ? A crime is a crime weather perpetrated by a man or woman and both both men and women should have the moral responsibility to stand up and speak against it. Lord Krishna said in the Geeta " Suffering a crime with raising your voice is a more heinous crime than committing the crime itself" .

The difference that is being made by the people like Swarup and Neeladri and Satya is phenomenal. I salute women like Jyoti and Dr Anupama who have come forward to speak out against these crimes . We need more women like you .It should be SIF's moral responsibility to support and protect women like Jyoti from all possible angles since she has decided to stand for our cause.

The three pillars of the crime Police , NCW and the WCD are already taken a good amount of bad publicity .

The Police are already feeling the heat and they have started realizing that they have to go back to catching the real world criminals again and will not be allowed to waste time catching aged and pregnant women and lock them up and show how prompt and efficient they are. They are also going to lose an easy source for money extortion .


The NCW's credibility has already taken a huge battering, they are running for cover after suggesting laws for adulterous women and live in partners. Women and Men from all over India are shocked and have vehemently protested against these laws in the press. Now the NCW has pretty much dragged itself back into a shell and has fallen silent , I hope they continue this when the 498A and DV act reform amendments are hashed out.


The WCD ministry although more concerned about the stability of the government now than Mens rights seems to have woken up to the fact that false facts and making stupid assumptions like all Indian women are gullible and innocent by birth and remain the same way till death will not be bought by the press and the people . They are leading a ear to our problems and will finally concede to our demands today pr tomorrow .


The need of the hour is to “KEEP UP THE HEAT “.

“SATYAMEV JAYATE “( Truth Always wins )

Thanks,
Arnab
