Shoaib feeds the 498a industry by contributing 15 crores

15 crores to buy peace for Shoaib-Sania....


Refer Mid-Day report "Ayesha's big problem" , Times of India report "A 15 crore deal for Ayesha Siddiqui" Mumbai Mirror report "Shoaib-Ayesha settle at 15 crores!" and Yahoo news report "Ayesha-Shoaib divorce ,worth 15 crore?"

Mid-Day: "Although mediators, who struck the compromise between Shoaib and Ayesha, have said the amount of nufqah is Rs 15,000 in public, sources revealed that the deal was struck only when Shoaib agreed to pay up an, as yet unknown, amount that is believed to be not less than Rs 15 crore."

15 crores... I guessed so too, no body withdraws a 498a so easily, but 15 crores can get u peace like this.

Even if Ayesha only wanted a divorce and thats why she filed IPC 498a, its sheer legal terrorism, when she was never subjected to cruelty which would lead to loss of life or limb(definition of 498a) by her own admission, and hence she had no right to concoct IPC 498a on Shoaib(irrespective of whether marriage happened or not).

When unscrupulous women like this misuse women protection laws, our police behave like pimps and facilitate it without a question, not because they are helpless, but because they too get a good cut(thumb rule is 5-10%, so the police must be partying over their booty of around 1 crore now!).

Both side lawyers too get similar cut... thats why Shoaib and Sania must have got discouraged to keep fighting for what they believed in, when your own lawyer schemes against you, you wont see it coming!. In fact filing 498a is like ordering 

"Idli, Sambhar and Chicken 498a" 

in a hotel near you! (no fear of punishment/risk, high returns. zero investment!!!)

IPC 498a is a booming industry, see this article: 498A India Ltd: A look into the economics of IPC 498A . Do read this article to know about the 3000 crore "industry" this IPC 498a has spawned(3000 crore only considers the Bail security amount, but if advocates bail fees(in India 30-40% of all bail cases are of 498a!), maintenance to wives, alimony and out of the court settlement amounts(like the 15 crores in Shoaibs case) are added to the tally this industry will be more than 20,000 crores easily.

Excerpt: 498A India Ltd., A Govt of India Undertaking Just like India has many shady unorganized sectors like Gambling, Hawala and other clandestine operations, this is a sector which has witnessed the most growth. 498A and its related operations are hence forth referred to as “498A India Ltd.” just to honor this law which has forced revenue generation from the Indian populace. 498A Indian Ltd. today is a Rs. 3000 Crore a year company.If the Govt of India would list “498A India Ltd.” in any of the stock exchanges today this is how the company report would look like. It would most certainly be listed as a “Navratna Company”.

There was news that Ayesha earlier told the media that Shoaib is trying to settle the case by offering her 1 million dollars, which is 4.45 crores. Obviously her price was 15 crores and she got it!.

See NDTV report "Money a stumbling block in Sania-Shoaib marriage?"

 Excerpt:"Can the Rs 4 crore compensate for the agony suffered by the girl?" asked Shams Babar, a relative of the Siddiquis. "Given the wealth Shoaib has amassed, the amount is a pittance. We won't allow him to get away so easily."

********
So here's plain economics for you: 4.45 crores(the earlier offer of 1 million dollar) was too less a ransom given the wealth Shoaib has amassed!, a couple of days after that they struck a deal at 15 crores!(around 3 million USD) though..

IPC 498a the biggest familial extortion tool in India delivers the goods yet again through legal terrorism!

"Indian Husband or Husband of an Indian: Both Suffer"

PS: Issues like this are termed as legal terrorism by even the Supreme Court of India, there are not only affecting men but entire families, which includes women(around 28 percent of the total arrested in IPC 498a is women themselves, that too without any investigation or evidence!), minor children and senior citizens. For example during 2004-2008 1,60,000 women where arrested under IPC 498a without any logic, investigation or evidence(source National Crime Records Bureau)

If you want to research more(1000s) read real life case histories of such victimised families ,  and also read WHO, US and Canadian Government warnings to their citizens against the misuse of these so-called women-protection laws here(which implicate/arrest more women than other IPC crimes. Average percentage of women arrested in other IPC crimes is around 6%, whereas in 498a it is around 28%… the inference would be either that in India there are 4 times more criminal women inside our families!, or the inference rightly would be that 498a is a weapon widely misused by legal terrorists which includes unscrupulous women-wives).

Economic Terrorism and its family breaking manifestations

"Economic Terrorism"(as referred to by John Perkin's book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man": summary 1 & summary 2) is one reason why UN and hence USA is pushing family breaking laws into India and other countries(recent attempt being the attempt to introduce vexatious I-VAWA or the International(for all countries) Violence against Women Act, if I-VAWA is implemented Indian Women organisation and others who will ensure the breaking of our family system will get 1 billion US dollars).

 To know why they are after breaking the Indian family system please note that in India the family takes care of the senior citizens, the children, the family members who cannot support themselves and the women who need their support and the government does not have to spend anything as social expenditure for this to be in place. But in countries like USA the social expenditure as a percentage of GDP is 23.4%(this figure is for the 1990s), Sweden tops the list with 30.6%(see the image below for the list, one could refer this webpage for more details).

So once India also is made to spend substantial percentage of GDP in social expenses(after breaking the family system here, which makes social expenditure by government redundant at present), we will acquire more debt and be economic slaves, who can be ordered anything around by the masters/money lenders(see how economic terrorism works from John Perkins Videos below or summaries of his book above)

Jon Perkin's explains what "Economic Terrorism and Economic Hitman" is al about(short clip of 6 minutes)

We need to send the media after UN and US for pushing vexatious laws like I-VAWA in India, which is in fact their vehicle to subjugate India and other countries like that. Britisher's knew very well that the Indian family system is the first thing to be attacked and shattered if India has to be conquered and subjugated fully(see the image below).... imperialistic forces are just following the same line with family breaking laws now.

Who doesn't know that "Divide and Rule" is the all time best tactic to oppress any group of people

Exposing UNIFEM/UN false statistics of violence against Indian women

UN and women organisations are deliberately popularising false statistics of violence on women(see the Advertisement above, by UNIFEM using google ad syndication, the widget from UNIFEM is also blogged here)

Request go through the link of mediaradar,  which will prove that UN themselves conceded that the above statistic of 70% Indian women are subjected to domestic violence is a false statistic.

Here is the correction by Washington post on the same subject after mediaradar cornered them.
***********
Correction by Washington Times (quoted below for ready-reference):
Using a chart published in a 2005 U.N. Population Fund report -- which the U.N. agency now says was misleading -- a London Daily Telegraph article published in Nov. 13 editions of The Washington Times incorrectly stated the frequency of wife abuse in India. The agency says that it does not have sufficient data to provide such a figure and that the chart was intended to show that 70 percent of Indian women who were abused by their husbands think such abuse is justified in at least some circumstances.

*************
As you can see a chart of UN was misquoted(must be deliberately by the fund-mongering feminazi, to show the "Ultra" sad situation in India so that more donations fall into their begging bowls!), the chart actually said "70 percent of Indian women who were abused by their husbands think such abuse is justified in at least some circumstances. "

See the truth with open eyes, do not succumb to the drivel that the feminist media wants you to chew on and get brainwashed for the promotion of their vested interests.

This is how they(economic terrorists like UN!) pump money into Indian and get mercenaries and feminazies to wreck destruction in Indian families... this is how errant wives are sustained and promoted!. "Economic Terrorism"(as referred to by John Perkin's book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man") is one reason why UN and hence USA is pushing family breaking laws into India and other countries(recent attempt being the attempt to introduce vexatious I-VAWA or the International(for all countries) Violence against Women Act, which will pump around 1 billion US dollars to women organisations and other family breaking projects)

This is a good read to know what I mean when I say feminazi & why this false propaganda against men is so

We need to send the media after UN and US for pushing vexatious laws like I-VAWA in India, which is in fact their vehicle to subjugate India and other countries like that. Britisher's knew very well that the Indian family system and culture is the first thing to be attacked and shattered if India has to be conquered and subjugated fully(see the image below).... imperialistic forces are just following the same line with family breaking laws now.

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.

Laws for women mere paper tigers - Madhu Kishwar - The Times of India

Laws for women mere paper tigers - by Madhu Kishwar- View From Venus - Sunday TOI - Home - The Times of India

One of the great challenges for those concerned with strengthening women's rights in India is the alarming gap between legal prescriptions on women's issues and actual practices prevalent in society. Many people expect that as women become aware of their rights, they will inevitably move in the direction of following "modern laws" enacted for their benefit. However, there is growing evidence that even among the avante-garde elite groups of our country, social behaviour runs contrary to social legislation.

For example, ever since dowry was outlawed in 1961 through the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961, the practice has flourished in an unprecedented manner. Wedding expenditures have become more and more lavish. Several new amendments were made to the Act and the Indian Penal Code during the 1980's making dowry giving and taking a cognizable offence. And yet, the practice has spread to regions, castes and communities which did not have any such tradition. The biggest dowry transactions take place among the families of educated elites, especially those in high power positions in the government. High status families consider it an insult to send their daughters off to their husband's home "empty handed."

It is the same story with the law banning the use of sex determination tests (SDTs). In Delhi, SDTs invites jail terms for up to 5 years and a fine up to Rs. 100,000. And yet, the use of sex selective abortions has grown even as the law has been made increasingly stringent. This is obvious from the continuing sharp decline in sex ratio and drop in the birth rate of female babies, especially among the well-off. Doctors in the know tell you that the most persistent and desperate demand for these tests comes from senior government officers.

It is legitimate to ask: Why are these laws not followed by the parliamentarians who make them or by the police officers and judges who are supposed to implement them? I am certain that not one among the militant feminists who have campaigned to get such laws enacted can claim with honesty that in their own family circles they have successfully "abolished" the practice of dowry and in their own community families are not taking recourse to sex selective abortions.

A common response is to attribute the growing gap between social legislation and social practices to hypocrisy and double standards. When a law fails, the tendency is to blame its failure on the laxity of implementation machinery.

That is how all the failed laws are bolstered with more and more draconian provisions, while the original problem remains unsolved. Today, we are witnessing a severe backlash against feminist legislation because most of the draconian laws we have enacted lend themselves to easy misuse while genuine victims rarely manage to get justice through them. This is not to say, I support the present system of dowry, sex selective abortions or other injustices faced by women but simply to underscore the need for a more self critical and socially sensitive approach to legal reform and the need to create appropriate instruments of the state machinery that can implement social legislation with dignity and honesty.

TV Program recording options

Many of us feel the need to record Tv programs which feature our activities and arguments, some of the ways to do it, other than having a conventional Video recoding facility at home are as follows.

There are two video monitoring service providers in mumbai who keeps back-up of popular Tv channels upto 2 weeks or so. There maybe similar services locally to you also, just check up the yellow pages or internet, if not available these mumbai guys can courier the clips to you. The only thing is that its quite expensive(in the range of Rs200 to 250 per clip of half an hour, even if its 1 minute the rate is of half an hour, courier charges will be extra). So you can use this option if there's no other way out locally.

The phone numbers are 1) News Stock Video monitoring services, Mumbai: 9920040986, 9892468552, 022 28677938, 65753191 2) Gold Video monitoring services, Mumbai: 022 24033559, 24025745, 24019755, 9773188556,

Since they keep back-up records of only popular tv channels(popular in mumbai), you have to inform them the program time, channel, etc in advance if you want recordings of non-popular channels, if they know in advance they can tune-in and record any channel I think.

Now a days many channels are uploading content to youtube directly too, so do ask them about this too(for example India Tv programs are uploaded by istreamhindi: http://www.youtube.com/user/istreamhindi, Aajtak: http://www.youtube.com/user/aajtaktv).

Also check out http://www.istream.in/ they syndicate a lot content, http://www.mypopkorn.com/ has some zee Tv content online, its not fully updated). Any video which is displayed on your screens can be downloaded by softwares known as 'video grabbers' "video downloaders" , u can search for them in google. I use "replay media catcher" and "Realplayer SP, version 1.0.5" to capture any video displayed on screen.

Also check out this device which is not a Tv tuner card, but kind of a chord which has to be connected from ur Tv to computer and it will record the program in the computer, which can be edited , uploaded, etc.:USB 2.0 To AV Video Audio VHS TV DVD S-video Player Recorder Editor). Another option TV Tuner Cum Digital Vedio Recorder

Domestic violence affects males, too - Need for Male Studies

To expose the incidences like this(in India especially, where there is a dearth of "Male Research" ) and explore the reasons for it, we need to start instituting research teams(students of sociology, MSWs, etc would be a good-fit) by tying up with reputed universities/colleges like Tata Institute of Social Sciences(TISS).

So that we can base our awareness programs/arguments on actual India-specific research work(we already have research models to emulate, like the US research which says the bad effect of single parenting on children, available on CRISP website).


FAQ on why Male Studies  (Courtesy http://www.malestudies.org)

Why “Male Studies” and not “Men’s Studies”?

Male Studies refers to the multidisciplinary study of the male human being, boys and men. Men Studies, by definition, has focused on fully grown men. Male studies will be comprehensive of males of all ages.

How is Male Studies related to Gender Studies?

Male Studies is independent scholarship without ideological ties to Men’s Studies, which emerged within Gender Studies to complement Women’s Studies. Male Studies focuses on the experience of being male and not only behavior (masculinity).

Is Male Studies grounded in one discipline?

No. While Men’s Studies grew out of sociology, Male Studies recognizes that all of the sciences have specialized knowledge about males. Most disciplines have something unique to contribute to understanding the experience of being male. They include anthropology, biology, psychology, medicine, history and education.

Is Male Studies a reaction to other scholarship?

No. Male Studies has emerged out of the conviction that the experience of what it means to be male can be approached while abstaining from cultural and ideological preconceptions about the phenomenon.

Is Male Studies a Western discipline?

No. Male Studies recognizes that while being male has been interpreted in a variety of ways in Western culture, it is experienced differently in different cultures and historical periods. Its goal is to be cross-cultural and international in scope.

Is Male Studies essentialist?

One fundamental question of Male Studies is whether there are essential features of being male. Having a male body is clearly one of them. Male Studies raises the question of whether there are other fundamental features of being male such as an inner experience of being male.

Does one have to identify as a male to engage in Male Studies?

Male Studies is based on the conviction that anyone is in a position to study the male. It is a scholarly discipline and as such is no more limited to work by males than any other discipline such as anthropology, biology, psychology, medicine or history. Males and females have made major contributions to all of these disciplines.

Why has Males Studies emerged at this time?

After thousands of years, previously isolated and independent cultures are now being exposed to each in unprecedented ways by means of the media, including especially television and the internet. Cultures previously divided from one another are meeting in an emerging global culture. Among the basic elements of this culture is the nature of being male. Bracketing ideological commitments is especially important at such a time. Instead, scientific research based on the view that it is important to allow the phenomenon to speak for itself must be given support. Male Studies is one area of such research. The effects of sophisticated technologies (birth control medications, sexual surrogacy) on reproduction are also of primary interest in Male Studies.

How is the concept of being male related to the concepts of gender, masculinity, and manhood?

Concepts of gender—masculinity and femininity—and their cultural institution as manhood and womanhood are of interest to Male Studies, but they are seen as secondary to a phenomenology of being male. Scholars in Male Studies believe that a complementary area of scholarship, Female Studies, would be a welcome addition to the scientific study of human beings.

What is the relation of Male Studies to misandry?

As a human science, Male Studies is opposed to the hatred of other human beings based on their genetic make-up, including misogyny (the hatred of females because they are female) and misandry (the hatred of males because they are male). It is opposed to hatred of a group of human beings based on sexual genetic variations (for example, Turner’s Syndrome or Kleinfelter’s Syndrome) or genetic variations leading to a unique physical habitus (for example, dwarfism). It is opposed to hatred of individuals based on their behavioral style, sexual preference or religious conviction. There is now a body of research, however, that suggests the presence of an unacknowledged underlying theme of misandry in popular culture, in recent legislation (international and national), and in academe. Male Studies is concerned to confirm or refute this research.

What are some topics of Male Studies?

As an emerging discipline, the topics of Male studies are only now being identified. Several topics are clearly of interest to scholars in the discipline: the documented deterioration of boys’ engagement and performance in education at all levels, and the remarkable extent of suicide among males as compared to females. Certain psychological disorders that are for the most part identified in young males deserve our attention. They include learning disabilities, conduct disorders (including violence against females and other males), and depression (which is often masked as irritability or lack of involvement in activities of everyday life). In the technology-dominated culture of the West, the declining numbers of males entering and completing tertiary education must be explained.

Govt plans punitive action against filing false FIRs

A moderately welcome news recently(Ms.Ruchika case effect) is the news that any complaint should be converted into an FIR. So at least in theory now the husbands who are threatened of false cases and extortion, etc can lodge FIRs for sure.

But who is going to implement this, and in case of wives/women misusing women-protection laws who is going to check the verity of each complaint(false FIRs attract 10 years of imprisonment, so says the upcoming Cr.PC amendment, read the news in detail below), who decides this?, police?, really?, our inefficient and buck-passing police?.

But yes this is progress, definite progress, from nothing to something, now its our duty too to ensure that the implementation of these useful changes in law.


News in Detail- Govt plans punitive action against filing false FIRs

PTI 29 December 2009, 07:46pm IST. Original report courtesy : TOI

NEW DELHI: Government is contemplating an amendment in the CrPC providing for a maximum of 10 years imprisonment to any individual who registers a false FIR at a police station.

Official sources said the government hopes this would act as a deterrent on those who file false and fabricated FIRs against anyone for vested interests and to score personal points.

The proposed move bears significance in view of the fact that the Government has decided to ask all state governments and Union Territories to treat all complaints as First Information Reports (FIRs).

Sources said the government feels that even if a complaint is false, police have to investigate it after registering the FIR.

"If the complaint is found to be false, police can always drop the FIR and can take punitive action against the complainant," an official said.
