Glad that you focus on the inadeqacy of BJP MPs when it comes to choice of words and lack of skill in expressing what they really mean.

I was so worried at your constant barrage of criticism against Abhijit Mukerjee (?), the congress MP and son of President Pranab M, who "inadvertently" expressed his opinion about Indian women.

You are the epitome of fairness - in true Akbari fashion.

abhijeet's words can be deemed objectionable, but not deplorable.

We can have a discussion on this issue after you read the following article:

I have read that article. Mark is on the mark about the backwardness of Indian society, but his attempts at humor fall flat. I think Mark should worry more about that long list of India's problems he conveniently provides, than the little problem of women protesting rape.

Now, what does "dented-painted women" mean?

that they had an accident and someone did cosmetic repairs by rubbing paint on the accident area and attempting to passing the woman in question as accident-free units

Ever since he started hearing voices in his head poor Propa has never been the same.

you are not interpreting Katju correctly. There are two key takeaway messages from his article which you are not referring to at all. I will let the contents of the article simmer in your head a little bit before discussing it further with you. Perhaps you need to re-read the article a few times.

As cop outs go, I like your latest one. Have a nice day.

Seva and I are both familiar with your enthusiasm for discussing and interpreting things which you have never read. Hence my suggestion to you that you should re-read the article a few times instead of glancing at it for a few seconds.

"....Women are still often oppressed in our society, which is not only due to survival of remnants of feudal mentality in many of our men folk, but also due to the large scale commercialisation of our society in which everything has been reduced to exchange value.

In India, we are living in a transitional period of our history, between feudal agricultural society and modern industrial society. Hence remnants of feudalism and feudal mentality e.g. casteism, communalism, and superstitions, are still persisting in our midst. It is for this reason that we have “honour killings” of young persons who wish to get married, by their caste or community members or caste panchayats merely because the couple is of different castes or communities.

This shows how backward we still are. Unless we get rid of this backwardness and develop a scientific outlook and temper among our masses, crimes against women will not stop. And this in turn requires great social changes.
I told you yesterday that 48% Indian children are malnourished. This would imply that about 70% of our women are malnourished, because a woman would rather remain hungry herself than see her child hungry. Our Indian sisters and mothers deserve our admiration since they are making tremendous sacrifices and bravely feeding their families on whatever little they and their husbands are earning.”

When the teacher stopped speaking Little Red Riding Hood again got up in anger and shouted “You have again resorted to diversionary tactics, and have mischievously diluted the issue of rape by mixing it up with all kind of nonsense”, and having said so she again walked out of the class to rush to Jantar Mantar.

On the way she saw a strange sight. A group of poor, lean and hungry-looking, shabbily-dressed women were marching in a procession shouting “Bread, bread, bread!” (Like the fisherwomen who marched from Paris to Versailles in 1789 during the French Revolution). Little Red Riding Hood accosted them and said, “You should be ashamed of yourselves. You should be shouting instead “Rape. rape, rape”.

This infuriated the processionists, who set upon Little Red Riding Hood with lathis and fisticuffs, and now poor Little Red Riding Hood is in bed at home recovering from her injuries.

An interesting comment:

the argument could have been made that if we try to adopt a more holistic approach in improving the society i.e. not only focusing on rapes but also devoting an equal amount of attention to other maladies like poverty, inequality, illiteracy etc; then the heinous crimes like rape, molestation of women etc would inevitably come down. Reason being that a crime like rape is in most cases inflicted by the people from the lower most rungs of the society( eg. the bus drivers and auto drivers in metros) and if we alleviate the status of this deprived class( by most importantly- imparting modern education) then we would have caused a very welcome paradigm shift ...

Reasonable... you need time to search the web for a cut/post comment on this...bcz your brain is already overworked and can hardly think (if at all in the first place).
