Open letter- AAP's views & strategies?: Men's(& Families') right violation

Messers,

I hope you are all aware, albeit in various degrees, of the misuse of laws intended for women-protection, which has actually shriveled entire societies in the west, and which could very well be traced back to a considerable loss of productivity in India and a threat to India's development as a nation itself.

Iam referring to the widespread misuse of laws like Rape(IPC 375) , Dowry laws(Dowry prohibition act of 1961), Dowry Death(IPC 304B), Abetment of Suicide(IPC 306), Cruelty against wife(IPC 498a), Domestic Violence Act, 2005, Sexual Harassment of Women at Work Place act, 2013, the various Maintenance acts(Sec 125 of Cr.PC, sections of Hindu Marriage acts & Hindi adoption and maintenance act, etc), Child access and custody laws. 

All these, and more, laws are being misused against Men and his family members, including women of his house and other female relatives who may be staying apart(married sisters, their families), and lakhs are getting arrested and entangled in the legal web for extended periods of time.

For details you may visit these blog posts, just to ensure that any of you are not under the wrong influence of "myths"

Common Myths and arguments, when it comes to misuse of women-protection laws:

"Such instances of misuse of women-protection laws form a minuscule percentage and hence can be safely ignored. Anyway 99% of marriages are 'Good'! " , 

"Women do not risk breaking their own marriages by filing false cases" ,

"Fathers are unable to take care of children and they don't even want to take the responsibility of bringing them up" , 

"Every law is misused so there is nothing great about these laws getting misused", 

"These are small skirmishes in families/offices/society, which is unavoidable and anyway doesn't affect anything in the bigger scheme of things or the Nation in general!"

***************My follow-up mail on 18th March***************

Subject: Attn.Mr.Karassery: Ref: Your statement in today's Mathrubhumi & AAP's views & strategies?: Men's(& Families') right violation

Dear Mr.M.N.Karassery and all concerned at AAP,

Glad to note Mr.M.N.Karassery's statement that justice should be served irrespective of gender, religion and social status(today's, 18th March Mathrubhumi). We hope that you spread this message and also implement this in your work with AAP.

Please read my open letter to AAP: http://at498a.blogspot.in/2014/03/aaps-views-strategies-mens-families.html. I have not got any reply from anyone in AAP regarding this, which puts a dark shadow over their intentions in this regard. I would anyway be grateful if you(or anyone concerned and responsible enough to reply to a genuine corncern by a citizen) could reply as to what AAP's view and strategies are to curb the misuse of laws intended for protection, which was termed by Supreme Court of India as "Legal Terrorism". 

***************My follow-up mail on 20th March***************

Messers,

I haven't still received even an acknowledgement for my various email, I hope you are not evading these uncomfortable questions, if you are then you are no better than the current crop of Politicial Parties who do not care about the issues of people.

Today's example is this: 

Another perishes in face of 'Legal Terrorism

Hope you show the moral responsibility and conviction to answer my original question: AAP's views & strategies? regarding Men's(& Families') right violation

Maha Rally: Calling for volunteers

Please do go through the planning for Maha Rally below, and send me(mail us separately at maharally@gmail.com : maharally (at) gmail (dot) com) your contact details for joining in as a volunteer.

Maha Rally brief plan: 

1) Reaching out to media and hence public: Conduct as many awareness events along the rally route(http://bit.ly/routerally), where ever SIF members can organise a) A public meeting b) Press Meet c) Awareness rally(any vehicle, around the town for some distance), or some similar event which will get reported in the media(getting the media's attention is the important part here, since published news means automatic reach to public, so any event which is designed and executed to get media's involvement is ok).

2) Consolidation of reformist NGOs/groups: To coordinate with other reform oriented groups who work for positive change, ie. any change which will improve the way we all live(eg. Human rights, energy/environmental conservation, local area empowerment, organised youth groups, groups for facilitating good governance, judicial reform groups, political reform groups, senior citizen forums, NRI forums, Pensioner's forums, etc etc). 

This is for creating a database of groups/forums which work towards positive change in India, so that we can later try and organise all these NGOs/Voluntary organisations and collectively bargain for our issues, create and project a formidable vote bank, etc, which is sure to get attention of major political parties and we collectively (rather than fighting for separate rights/demands in different corners of India, with limited 'active'/committed members) will then have a better chance to get our demands met.  

3) Reaching out to the youth: Liaison with educational institutions, making them aware of what awaits them in future, about anti-male laws and attitudes, etc., so that they too start working against threats which will affect them in their near future. 

College's and University's student bodies need to be contacted to make them aware of what the rally is about and how they could contribute and participate, among all the groups we can get in touch with, students will be the most closely knit group, and hence we need to focus our attention very tightly on educational institutions.. since the more organised and united they are, the stronger their bargaining power is!. Another reason why educational institutions should be focused is because we need to reverse the feminazi indoctrination there, since feminasies too know how important it is to catch them young, they have been reinforcing their arguments(which are untrue and made with ill motives) in each and every student who passes through our educational system- it's time that we reverse this negative spin!.

In brief this Rally is an attempt to consolidate strengths of good/suitable groups/individuals, organise and then collectively bargain and ensure that power comes back to the People. 

This rally could be as big as we make it to be, we all have a big example in the Dandi march, which started out as small, we too can expect this Maha Rally to snowball into a huge movement, by the end of its proposed 55 day duration, across 4000 kilometers(the core riders will be on cycles, there are 3 riders including me, who are presently committed to ride the full length. Other short distance rallyists can join in for any distance in any vehicle, along the rally's route).

There are many other things which can happen during this rally, which can be planned out. Do let me know your impressions about this and your suggestions, if any. 

Do reply with your contact details for volunteering for Maha Rally(mail us separately at maharally@gmail.com : maharally (at) gmail (dot) com), and send in your opinion/suggestions about the Maha Rally plans.
