India Vs Pakistan - Pak wins hands down!!!.. any other country wins for that matter!!!... read on......

Here is Pakistan' s DV(Domestic Violence) act http://www.na. gov.pk/uploads/ documents/ 1300322603_ 188.pdf

Its not biased like ours, our DV act name(Protection of Women! from Domestic Violence act) itself hurriedly denies men's rights!. 

Pakistan also has a gender neutral Sexual harassment at work place act (http://www.na. gov.pk/uploads/ documents/ 1302130845_ 543.pdf)

And we say India is more developed than Pakistan!!!

Short excerpt of Paki DV

1. Short title, extent and commencement. - (1) This Act may be called the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act, 2009. 
(2) It extends to the whole of Pakistan.
(3) It shall come into force at once.

2. Definitions. - (1) In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires,-
(a) "aggrieved person" means any woman, child, man or any vulnerable person who is 
or has been in a domestic relationship with the accused and who alleges to have 
been subjected to any act of domestic violence by the accused;

All over the world Domestic Violence and Sexual harassment laws are "Gender Neutral", but India happily denies rights of 50% of its citizens by excluding men from the protection of these laws?... ever thought why???. 

You need to think, since you could be NEXT!!!

Black day for India & Indian families - Anniversary of the anti-family D.V Act

On October 26th(2006), the highly biased and anti-family, anti- human rights, constitutionally ultra vires, Domestic Violence law(PWDVA) came into force in India.

This day was a small step for the anti-india, "anti-family bandwagon", the feminazies, their cronies and their puppet-masters, but a giant leap for Mankind, as we know it, into the abyss of injustice and against all the tenets of natural justice .

If we are even a bit concerned of our children, we need to understand this abysmally retrograde, suicidal, leap of mankind, and act upon our inferences, yes we need to do it like there's no tomorrow, since there won't be a tomorrow this way!

http://www.manwomanmyth.com/domestic-violence/when-is-domestic-violence-not-domestic-violence/


Black day was observed in Bangalore and other parts of India to spread awareness among the unsuspecting Indian citizens. Old aged parents getting kicked out and dispossessed of their own hard-earned houses, un-involved relatives reined in and harassed for years together, whether they be male or female.


These traits of this law are enough for any common man to understand that this law is not pro-Women or intended for women-protection at all, this law(PWDVA) is just a "weapon of mass destruction" in the hands of unscrupulous people, and vested powers let this injustice continue, since India can only be weakened by weakening and obliterating its family system!

Indian Media acknowledges the shortfalls of the Sexual Harrasment Bill

Original post here-> INSAAF: Indian Media acknowledges the shortfalls of the Sexual Harrasment Bill

Madhu Kishwar Blasts Sexual Harassment Bill on India NewsX:


Part-1



Part-2

With reference to the above videos, here is the issue with reference to what's wrong with Domestic Violence act(DVA act), which has a clause in the same lines "Sexual Harassment Panel is to be headed by a Woman, who is committed to the cause of Women"

At the first or even the second glance its doesn't look a bad clause, it even looks good since, as Ms.Madhu Kishwar too mentions, women will open up(about the sexual harassment she had to experience) better to a woman.

The real issue is that this Sexual harassment act will become a money making(extortion) racket as soon as it hits ground, and then the definition of "Woman who is committed to the cause of women" will be totally different, it will then mean "Woman who convicts most number of men, regardless of whether he is guilty or innocent. Here more men pressurised to pay compensation or through out-of-the-court settlement means more turnover to the new extortion industry spawned by Sexual Harassment Act.

This Sexual Harassment Bill, as soon as it becomes an Act, it will be like the multi-million industry(extortion) like in case of  the misuse of IPC 498a  or DV Act, where lawyers make money, women organisations make money through more cases/statistics and hence funds from UN and benefactors from the moist eyed/sympathetic western world(seeing false, cooked-up statistic of how many women are victimsed!) , police makes, money, unscrupulous law-misusing women/wives make money.

Making the Sexual Harassment Bill Gender Neutral, the real issue:


Thats exactly what the anti-family anti-India lobby would resist and oppose with tooth and nail.

This law is not at all aimed to protect women, just see how many harassed women get justice

One can just review the results with respect to other existing women-protection laws for assessing the reality and the clear trend of deception!, no victim gets justice, whatever be the gender!...

These laws are aimed only at making an industry of extortion around them, at the cost of wrecking the social structure and peace and hence national stability and security in India(as well as any other countries, including USA, where similar laws prevail(like the VAWA(Violence against Women Act) in USA)).

The powerful corporations which run and bleed nations are behind this, whether its a plan from scratch or not!(it need not be like the Illuminati theory goes).

The chaos and insecurity in people makes excellent ground for unplanned lives and hence expenditure in not-so-priority products and services(luxury, fad, high margin products and services).

Abused hubby gets divorce Son’s Custody - Mumbai Mirror

Abused hubby gets divorce Son’s Custody - Mumbai Mirror

Aarey Colony resident uses videos shot by secret cameras at his residence to prove his case

Deeptiman Tiwary

Posted On Saturday, August 07, 2010 at 02:13:02 AM

A man who was thrashed by his wife and had recorded the abuse using spy cameras to present it as evidence in his divorce proceedings has won the case and the legal custody of his 11-year-old son. Video grabs of Pallavi thrashing Purushottam Mahajan. Purushottam Mahajan, 44, who was locked in divorce and custody battle with his wife Pallavi for over two years, installed secret cameras at their Aarey Colony house to capture how she abused him physically in his son’s presence. In November 2009, the video was uploaded on YouTube by an NGO to show how law was heavily loaded against men in cases of marital discord. Eight months after the video went up, the Bandra Family Court last month handed over the custody of the child, Aum, to his father. The battered husband fought his case himself armed with the video evidence. He argued Aum’s future was more secure in his custody than his wife’s. The couple got married in 1999, but the relationship soured within a year. Purushottam alleges that there were regular fights and he would often get beaten up. While he would talk about the violence to his friends, no one believed him. Fed up of the violence and desperate to gather evidence, Purushottam, who claims to have worked with Subhash Ghai as an assistant director, installed a spy camera in his place. The camera captured everything that went on in the house, including Purushottam's physical torture, for three months. What eventually went up on YouTube was an edited 30-minute video. The video that has no sound, shows Pallavi slapping and kicking Purushottam. It later shows them animatedly discussing something even as a child looks on. On July 23, 2008, Pallavi left the couple's Aarey Colony house with Aum. Since the marriage had irrevocably broken, Purushottam filed for divorce and Aum's custody on July 27. On August 29, Pallavi lodged a complaint of dowry harassment and torture against him at Dindoshi police station. However, Purushottam's spy video recordings and other evidence he presented in the court tilted the divorce and custody case in his favour. During the two-year battle, Purushottam says he went through a lot. "I lost a job in a multi-national bank because cops would be constantly calling me. But I had decided, I would fight till the end as I loved Aum more than anything else. When I saw my lawyer was not arguing the case properly, I read law books and argued my case without a lawyer." Mahajan watching his son’s video Purushottam meticulously collected evidence to make his case stronger. He showed the court how his child had suffered severe weight loss after his mother took him away. "I presented medical evidence that also showed that he had injuries on his hands and legs and that he lived in unhygienic conditions. After he was separated from me, he wasn't sent to school for months," said Purushottam, who alleged in the court that he was not allowed to meet Aum on one pretext or the other even though the court had directed a meeting every fortnight. His wife's lawyer, Amol Sutrale, who played a crucial role in bringing the couple to the negotiating table, said, "We realised there was no need to drag the case unnecessarily. I advised Pallavi and Purushottam to settle the matter. Pallavi agreed to give Aum's custody to Purushottam. Thus the matter was settled with mutual consent. At least, the child will not have to suffer anymore."

Jail Bharo Agitation by SIF-Mumbai:in News

Times of India News <- Click here for the original article(quoted below too)

Women-centric laws protested
Members of the Indian Family Foundation conducted a peaceful ‘jail bharo’ dharna on Tuesday at Goregaon (W) to protest against the misuse of 498 A and the Domestic Violence Act, which the organisers termed as ‘wifecentric laws’. The event was supported by former Mr India, Aryan Vaid. Several women were also part of the protest and alleged that under the garb of being women-centric, these laws were being used to harass mothers-in-law and sistersin-law. The protesters were taken to a police station and later let off. The protesters said they want the government to set up a ‘Ministry for men’s welfare’.

Jail Bharo Agitation by SIF-Mumbai: Darr ke aage Jeet Hai

On July 6th 2010, Indian Family Foundation and Mashaal (Mumbai based NGOs in the Save Indian Family network) conducted a pioneering Jail Bharo andolan(Flood the Jail Agitation). Pictures here . 

This was preceeded by Mr.Ravindra Gangurde's indefnite Dharna against gender biased and anti-family laws which commenced on Febrary 22, 2010 and continued till date, after he took the dharna for 1 week to Jantar Mantar , Delhi.


In Hyderabad All India Men's Welfare Association and All India Forgotten Women's Association conducted a protest in front of police station and submitted a memorandum to the Commissioner of Police. Pictures here , Press Release , Press Release in Support to Mumbai Jail Bharo andolan & Flyers and Placards.    

In Bangalore National Family Harmony Society (NFHS) submitted a memorandum to the Commissioner of Police and issued a Press release.


Participating in this Jail Bharo agitation at Mumbai, Actor Aryan Vaid showed solidarity with SIF's cause and gave an empathetic speech. In the times to come more opinion leaders will shun their fear and false-ego and join this just cause for sure.

                            

Lets show Aaryan some solidarity right back, follow him on http://twitter.com/aaryanvaid , do inform him that you are from SIF, you can just reply to one of his tweets. He is on Facebook too, but can't send friend request("too many friend requests for this user" says FB) and hence can't comment on his wall too. But we can send him messages: http://www.facebook.com/aryanvaid?v=wall . His email is : aryanvaid0000 (at) yahoo (dot) com , send him appreciation for doing the right thing - Saving Family ... Saving Nation.

Next time all SIF local groups should do this in sync, its bound to make a huge impact.Iam sure SIF- Mumbai will soon come out with the detailed procedures and to-do list for others to emulate.

I couldn't help but borrow 'Mountain Dew's' Ad punchline "Darr ke aage Jeet Hai"  - yes its always victory behind your own fears, so lets conquer the fear, lets embrace fear and dissolve it, lets use fear to make people sit up and think and then act.

There's always a decision of Fight or Flight which one has to make, and you win only if u decide to dig your feet deep and fight to finish, so what do you want to do... do I hear FIGHT?

As this Mountain Dew ad says "Bidega toh Jeetega" ... "If you fight, u win".... life is that simple when you think of it!. 

So now there are two choices for all of us.... r u ready to fight .... or do you want to DIG YOUR FEET DEEP AND FIGHT TO FINISH

Programme on Custody Battle & legal terrorism

Purushottam's crusade against legal terrorism continues, in this program(in Marathi, by Zee Marathi) his child custody struggles are depicted along with his resistance against legal terrorism.







Summary of this program(for non-marathi guys)



This is a nice programme on Zee Marathi, called "Yaala Jivan Aise Naav". Loosely translated as "This is what is called Life".

The show is hosted by Renuka Shahane. The show is very down to earth, and it aims to put forth, problems suffered by common men. The show is characterized by it simplicity, and its direct to the problem approach,
avoiding all the publicity gimmicks rampant nowadays.

In the episode on 6th February, a gentleman, by the name Purushottam Mahajan, had appeared on the show.

After hearing his plight, everyone's eye's welled with tears, including the ever cheerful Renuka Shahane, even she couldn't control her tears. Even though the court, had granted visitation rights to this father, his wife, didn't allowed him access to his only son. It is more then 10 months, that this father, hasn't even had a glimpse of his only son, whom he so dearly loves. And the Family court hasn't even done anything about it, even when this is a glaring contempt of court.

Such was the father-son bonding, that his little son, had himself, requested the marriage counsellor in court, to increase the visitation time with his father. Whenever this father used to visit his son at his school, his son would point to his friends, and tell them, see " There comes my best friend !".

When his wife was leaving his house, the police had accompanied her. At that time, his son, requested the wife "Mummy, maybe, we shouldn't leave Papa's house". On hearing this the cruel wife started thrashing that 9 year old child, with her chappal. Such was her cruelty towards even her own child that even the Police were moved.

Bowing to his wife's wishes the husband had left his career in films, and took a job in a bank. He helped her start a beauty parlor. He tried to inculcate good values in her. He took her to places like British Council Library, etc, but she was never into it. In the mean time, she developed extra marital relationships with a police officer, which later she used to harass her husband. Not contend with verbally abusing her husband, she used to physically abuse him too. Add to all this she always insulting him, and his parents. In short, she had his life a hell.

Amongst all this it was SIFF, which offered him hope, and gave him the determination to fight against
this injustice. SIFF'ian Ajit Sakharkar helped him a lot.

International Mens Day... for real men

You are Invited on Men’s Day 19th Nov 2009

PIFF (Protect Indian Family Foundation) and IFF (Indian Family Foundation) are celebrating International Mens Day on 19th November 2009 at Azad Maidan(11 A.M to 4 P.M). An awareness vehicle rally, consisting of about 50 motorcycles and four wheelers, starting from Mulund will be converging at Azad Maidan by 12.30 pm.

We are part of the Save Indian Family Movement. This movement was initiated by victims of law who were falsely accused or threatened of law misuse, done with a view to take undue advantage, when a male family member’s marriage fails due to some other reason other than the false criminal accusation.

Male plight have always been the butt of jokes or cartoons and have never been taken seriously as their suffering is taken for granted or ignored. On this mens day we would like to pay tribute to the undisputable hard working taxpayer, Men, who pays approximately 82% taxes to the Government of India. Legal atrocities on us has been termed as “Legal Terrorism” by Supreme Court and recently the government has advised not to rush for Arrests of the Innocent Family of the Groom, as gross misuse of cruel Marriage laws has been observed for years together.

We would like to call for your Unconditional and Overwhelming support in demanding a basic constitutional infrastructure and machinery for Men and his family members.

- Calling the government attention for Introducing a Ministry for Men regarding welfare of mens and related issues.
- Introducing a suo motu (By Default) punishment in the IPC for misuse of any law(especially laws concerned with families) irrespective of gender.
- Creating Machinery for Men to get his serious grievances recorded as crime against men and thus allow generating statistics for men to help understand his plight better.
- Identify his emotional needs as a father and allow a shared parenting during marital dispute.
- Protect the Mother and Sister and other relatives of Husband during marital dispute.

We are only against the misuse of any law on any innocent. We are not against any strata of the society. We are for protection of a vulnerable section in the society. We believe that law should treat everyone equal without blindly favoring / opposing any group.

We look forward for your support and participation in making this International Men’s day a great success.
