Winning through Opinion-Formation: Techniques&Strategies

Hi Guys,

New match Venue, team SIF
please get your boots and jersies over here. and lets go get them: http://forum.indya.com/showthread.php?p=1125268#post1125268

See the link above, all
activists who wants educate the public are requested to that match venue asap,
start commenting, this venue is a friendly venue, make it our home venue by
commenting and education the general public who visit this page(this is the page
for feedback to the Tamil Tv program "Ippaddikku Rose" translated
video presentation will be ready by tomorrow, at youtube.

About the presentation/argumenting
tones and persona of our activists: We need to play the "Good Cop
& Bad Cop" routine in any public debate to achieve maximum
information absorption!. The bad cop will ridicule, use dark sarcasm, humour,
down right censure, etc., while the Good Cop(like Rajesh projected his
arguments) tells his mind with a cool, compassionate tone. The good cop will not
be able to cut the other parties arguments since his projected persona will not
allow being rude, but that’s where the bad cop comes in!, he can be rude,
point blank and on the face with his arguments and criticism. The good cops role
is to provide a shoulder for the tired opposition to rest their heads!(fighting
with the bad cop!) and while the opposition takes a breather the good cop
manipulates the oppositions’ opinions in his own way and set stage for the
opponent to finally yield!

Haven’t you guys met
these characters in real life?: like one traffic police acting tough and
being abusive, and then comes the good cop lovingly listening to ur view, and
slowly preparing you to part with your bribe money!(the yield in this example),
and the final push comes when the bad cop pounces from behind and rolls his
eyes- you part with a crisp 100 rupee(or even 500 if the couple performs their
routine well!). Its the same thing what we can emulate, like the generations
successfully have!.

This is the way police in
advanced countries break up a tough criminal too, without force, without even
touching the criminal/terrorist- this is the model which is ever green. So we
just have to assume the part we are comfi with. Swarup will always, better, be
the bad cop(since the other part doesn't suit him much), Virag is also naturally
inclined that way. For me any role which is vacant is ok(like a joker of
cards!).

If we understand this
analogy well, theres no chance in hell that we don't win debates, so internalise
this, consciously generate rage(but let not control you, you control it),
posture yourselves according to the strengths and weakness of the opposition -
go for the Jugular all the time, we have no time to waste!, too many opponents
to obliterate!.

What Rajesh is thinking is
already done, all the deans and colleagues of Huma have received what Virag and
me wrote in Huma's criticism(I hope she hasn't applied for long leave or even
resigned!, yet) . Here are the emails if you guys wanna further give them your
piece of mind(ensure that Huma is on the Cc of BCc(like what I did, for effect!)
(SDSU dean/faculty emails: "Violence Against Women Editor" <claire.renzetti@notes.udayton.edu.>,
speciale@mail.sdsu.edu, webcontent@sciences.sdsu.edu, dean@sciences.sdsu.edu,
nikbakht@mail.sdsu.edu, ilara@mail.sdsu.edu, eestrada@mail.sdsu.edu
, google for more!

Make a mental note, show
rage, show compassion, show derision, show pity, show ridicule, but don't
consumed by all that, keep the focus on our Goals - Opinion Formation .... Mass
Opinion formation.... each and every word coming out of you should be designed
to achieve maximum bang per buck - thats what this game is about.

regards

Gokul

Bro,

u r techning her ur way, she wanted some material for her study so gave it to
her in her own sweet way

but goal is same...



about her knowledge for 498a and going ahead and publishing....

atleast she will not write about DV/125/24 etc like she did for 498a (which
does not need to have IPC suffixed ... good one bro) .... and this will make
her think 10 times, and that will be the starting force of our resistance (our
education)...





and if we have her boss ka email ID or her hierarchy or related and concerned
parties if there is any communciation channel, lest sure, they will get the
knowledge .... tubto unko samajna hee padegaa

yahaan subash chandra bose bhi milenge, bhagat singh bhi milenge and gandhiji

If this happens, that will be begin the fruits of our efforts which are sown
today

Yes Virag, its already 15
- Love, if we play this even further... it will be Game, Set and Match
soon.... let's show her the way out anyway, if she's such a cry baby, not
wanting any constructive criticism on even her publicly accessible/promoted
'Research-Work"!!!(or should it be pack of lies/delusive
insensibilities/ramblings of an insane professor?!).

If one claims to be a
researcher, he/she should have basic scientific temper, minimal levels of
natural or acquired inquisitiveness, or at least basic courtesy to read and
understand at least the spirit of communication directed to that person. If none
of these exists among the faculties of such person he or she should at least,
the very least, admit her/his inability to comprehend the world as it is and to
selective perception/tunnel vision... for confession is the way to redemption.
If that person still defends his already exposed-hollow arguments, it would just
help in exposing the ignorance of self!.

If being academician means
the power to unilaterally obliterate truth and facts, we don't need such
academicians, as the song goes......" we don't need no education, we
don't no thought control...." (haven't heard this, here it is, hear it for
life!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-9czP52Ayw (remix)
& http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwTpZpwjtIE (the
Pink Flloyd Original) )

PS: This is not
‘BCc’ied to any so-called Professor(Yes...... I sinned here, for sure!). Let
me clarify that I give real respect but only real Professors, not the phony ones
who wriggle out of a healthy debate!.

PPS: Well...
why did the professor choose not to reply to me, was my questions (as
quoted in my message below,using the same font & colour) tougher than what
her syllabus allows!?

Well Hjuma,



Definitely you have right to write what you feel like. But thousands of

families in India are devastated by the misuse of IPC 498A and there lives

are shattered in a moment when a case is filed.



And with radical feminists like you refusing to believe that a woman can be

a marriage breaker too (without any justifiable reason) and keep spreading

the false alarm of "Sole victimization of women", and also expressing
them

in international research papers, it becomes our moral duty to show you the

real face of truth.



If it is that painful to accept that you have seriously flawed in your

paper, then I cannot but condemn your lack of grace. Citing IPC 498A as

'Soft Law' itself shows the lack of research from your angle on the topic or

an attempt to know the reality.



If you cannot tolerate truth then better do not publicize your email id.

Sitting in cozy foreign lands, it is very easy to write such biased and

false papers, come down to India and see the reality for yourself.



I simply sent an email to you on your work and you feel harassed, shows

typical feminist behavior from you again. Instead of going into the

technical / logical details of my email and the intention behind, you have

started whining about harassment and stuff.



Have you ever thought of the harassment that a family undergoes over whom a

false dowry case is lodged?



Gokul had sent an email on statistics of women arrested, and you still

believe that IPC 498A is a soft law? When you have published a research

paper on a topic as sensitive as 498a, be ready to accept criticism, for

there are serious flaws in what you have said.



No wonder radical feminists like you can never think beyond patriarchy and

feminsm.



It is actually a sign of arrogance from your side to refuse to accept the

reality. IPC 498a is misued to the tune of 98 % and you say it is a soft law

and demand stricter implementation, by what yardstick, tell me???



Did you even bother to go through the long email I had composed to you?

Dear Prof.
Ghosh and others,

See the Statistics
by National Crime Research Bureau(NCRB, India), which is self-explanatory
and shocking too.

NCRB Statistics

Arrested Under IPC 498a	Women	Men	Total	% of Women Arrested
2004	27832	97825	125657	22.1
2005	28745	98815	127560	22.5
2006	31253	105927	137180	22.8
2007 (estimating with 5% increase over year 2006)	32815	111223	144039	22.8
Totals	1,20,645	4,13,790	5,34,436	22.6

Note: The average percentage of women arrested is 22.6%,
which is 4 times more than the average of women
arrested under all IPC sections(5.8%).



Does this mean that the incidence of women
criminals are 4 times more inside Indian families than in the general
population!?



Or does this anomaly mean, RIGHTLY so,
that women protection laws like IPC 498a is grossly
misused, especially against women themselves. Indeed these laws are
misused by women criminals(who were termed as ‘Legal
Terrorists’ by supreme court(India) itself), the so called Wives,
who are just feigning victims, and are an insult to every woman.

498a& Dowry Act(3,4):more than 22%
arrested are women themselves - see the statistics(as available in the
NCRB sire, see links below) for women affected by IPC 498a and Dowry Death(IPC
304B).

3,90,397 persons(of which 87,830(22.5%) were women themselves!!!) were
arrested under Section 498A in 2004, 2005 & 2006 as per the data published
by the National Crime Research Bureau(NCRB).

So over 87,000 women also have been arrested without evidence or
investigation in case of IPC 498a cases, in three years(2004 to 2006) so its not
just a matter of Harrassed Men, its a clear case of Families in distress due to legal
terrorism.

Another point to note is that in IPC 498a and Dowry Deaths(304B) the
percentage of women arrested are more than 22% of the total number of people
arrested(compared to around 5.8% women in the total arrested in other crimes)

Refer the statistics from NCRB(National Crime Research Bureau)

Year 2004(http://ncrb.nic.in/crime2004/cii-2004/Table%2012.2.pdf)

Year 2005(http://ncrb.nic.in/crime2005/cii-2005/Table%2012.2.pdf)

And

Year 2006(http://ncrb.nic.in/cii2006/cii-2006/Table%2012.2.pdf)

_____________

Note: in the above table the statistics for year 2007 is estimated(at a
conservative 5% growth based on the trend of pervious year growths), since NCRB
data for this year is not yet available.

Tell why 4 times more women are
arrested from inside Indian families under Sections like IPC 498a, why women
arrested in other crimes are 1/4th in percentage among the total number of
people arrested?.

What is your contention?. Whats your
solutions which you must have distilled vide your research?.

Do you wish to restate any part of
your research in the light of the new evidence you have come across, if so which
part and how would you restate?.

regards

Gokul

Prof Ghosh,



I would like to raise serious objections to your research paper, titled
"Chattels of Society" in which you have adjudged Section 498A of the
Indian Penal Code as a very light law and
demanded stricter implementation.



As a deemed professor in San Diego State university, there has to be
substantial amount of credibility in the papers that you present, for common
people of average intellect tend to go by your words and research without
going into the intricacies of the statements made keeping in mind your degree
and stature.



You say, Section 498A is a 'soft law'. By which yardstick of legal analysis do
you propose to make such erroneous a statement. For your general knowledge you
would like to read this link, highlighting the marketable features of this
law, deemed as 'Soft' by you.



IPC
498A - The most draconian law



Assuming you increase the hit count of the above link by 1 and devour its
contents, you can easily see how a grave criminal offense of 498A can be
lodged against any man married in India or any NRI married to an Indian girl.
Filing a case is piece of cakewalk, just like ordering a pizza from the
nearest US Pizza outlet with home - delivery.



One unverified complaint and all the accused are thrust behind bars and denied
bail. This fear of arrest and inhuman torture at the hands of criminally de -
sensitized police force, can drive the nuts out of any sane person. People
succumb to fear of false cases and end up loosing all their wealth in settling
this false case in addition to bearing the social stigma, ostracization and
trauma of false allegations.



Many Indian married men succumb to this ongoing Legal Terrorism in the name of
Women Empowerment as reflected in the suicide statistics prepared by National
Crime Records Bureau,



In 2005, 52, 483 and in 2006, 55, 452 married men committed suicide in India
as opposed to 28, 188 and 29, 869 married women for the same years
respectively.



Has this thought ever occurred to you as to why so many men are forced to
commit suicide in your so called, "Patriarchial Society"?



Have you run a simple search on 498A in Google?
Well sitting in California, the mecca of World
Wide Web, you should have done this. But seeing your views, I am not waiting
for your answer. I know you have not. For if you had actually done so, a whole
new reality shift would have occurred to you.



Denouncing Indian men as abusive and representing Indian women as stupid
victims, clearly shows your overtly bent, deeply ingrained and ubiquitously
stereotypically radical feminist mindset.



Aah and before I forget, your so called 'Soft' 498A has jailed 1, 20, 645
innocent women in the last four years, 3 - 4 times the number the British
could achieve in 40 years. Yes the same british people with whom you seem so
overwhelmed that you suggest mimicking their matrimonial policies.



You are aware that Britain figures absymally low in marital happiness and
there are more divorced couples than married couples?



What do I conclude from this, that you want to ruin the Indian Family system?
Or probably you thought that no one is going to raise a finger against any
flimsy stories you write about Indian men and women
gratifying your personal ego and vendetta?



I am quite sure you are not very happy seeing this mail, but neither was I
seeing your remarks on Indian men which were not only false and baseless but
also highly denigrating and demeaning as well in addition to being grossly
humiliatory in nature.



And as I am on an education ride to a professor of San Diego state university,
let me add this miniscule piece of information as well lastly, that in section
498A, 98 % cases are false and this study has been conducted by Center for Social
Research, an India Govt. Enterprise.



And my last note goes to Claire Renzetti, the editor of the journal, Violence
Against Women that the research paper, "Chattels of Society" by Prof
Huma Ahmed Ghosh has resulted in gross misbalance of gender sensitivities and
general view of Domestic Abuse. Hence the same be restored by allowing a
research paper on "Widespread misuse of 498A to harass and abuse the
husband and his parents and siblings".
