Maharally: Help us reach out to the world

Subject: Maharally: Help us reach out to the world

Can you guys also search out international cycling groups/associations and cycling event organisers/participants across the globe and write to them similar short enticing messages, which will make them come and ride with us!(it would be a publicity blitzkrieg, even if 1 foreigner joins us!, besides the pull it will exert on the international media!).

You should especially write to the Dutch cycling embassy, they would then link us and support us everywhere they have a reach to, pls find the relevant emailids at: http://www.dutchcycling.nl/ ,  https://twitter.com/Cycling_Embassy (pls tweet tagging them, etc), http://www.youtube.com/user/DutchCyclingEmbassy and http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Dutch-Cycling-Embassy-3881134?trk=myg_ugrp_ovr

Also contact: http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/2013/us/ (Tour De france the most coveted cycling event, for the Time being!, till Maha Rally picks up pace and popularity, not really joking, it should be our dream... and if we dream right and act meticulously.... it will materialise, it's just a question of when, no whether!). Tour of Nilgiris is our own event : http://www.tourofnilgiris.com/ .

 Ccing to some who are closely associated with cycling for their info and references. Pradeep, Vimal, and other cycling pals, please do send us emails/weblinks of organisations and individuals who could be interested in associating with the Maha Rally.

******************************************

Guys, "Maha Rally for Change" is all about positive changes and reforms around each of us, which concerns everyone. Check out MR website: www.maharally.in

Hence we need to reach out to everyone across the globe, to get international support(they could use this new social-movement model, in their own countries, mixing sport with social responsibility, through solution & result-oriented patriotism and positive activism) network with all possible cycling groups nationally and internationally.

We also should inform cycling events worldwide about the Maha Rally and what it stands for, this actually deserves to be made bigger than the Tour de France, though it cannot be compared to any cycling event per se directly, since it's more of a socially responsible yatra, a  journey involving exploration of self and our country, in which one gets a chance to be a real "change-agent", touching various parts of India, trying to tie up the problems across  India, to those(voluntary groups, govt. agencies or individuals) who can work on suitable solutions.

The Maha Rally, is not just sports, it's Karma Yoga: www.maharally.in

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.

Are criminal-minded women on the rise! - Article by Smt.R.Sreelekha, IPS

***An open email to Smt.R.Sreelekha, IPS(ADGP, Vigilance and anti-corruption bureau, Kerala)***

Reference: Your article "Karuthamma"maar erunno?(roughly translating into "Are Criminal-minded women on the rise!") . This article is an eye-openingly candid article by R.Sreelekha(ADGP of Police, Kerala). Just wondering how you got the guts to write the truth and what was your motive in writing this, and how 'Malayala Manorama' mustered the courage to run this in the center page!(this article was published in MM, Thrissur edition, 10th page, 19th June, 2013). 

Original News clip and it's brief translation is at ->   : https://www.facebook.com/MensRightsKerala/posts/570321256352616

Dear Madam,

We at PaSS(Purushavakasa Samrakshana Samiti, NGO, Thrissur) would like to express our heart felt appreciation for touching upon an almost Taboo but necessary topic of "Criminality in Women".

We do not consider this topic very pertinent to our time just because we love bad-mouthing women in general!, but because we realise that this topic needs to be discussed and analysed by our public and authorities in the Law enforcement, Judiciary and people representatives, with a view to properly frame our laws which at present seems to consider that only Men are capable of committing crimes. 

In short our laws have to be attuned to the times we live in, and not attuned to the times when these were originally written by and large(most of our legal frame work owes its birth in the 19th century! and very minimal amendments or rationalisation has happened, after this initial frame-work was laid down, to be of any real relief to the citizens of India!)

Our present day laws assume that either 1) A man only is capable of doing some crimes, and not Women or 2) Men do not need the protection of law when it comes to some crimes!. 

These are highly gender-biased, heavily-misused and draconic laws, supposedly instituted for the protection of women(when in actual they DO NOT protect women from the crimes they are supposed to protect women from, due to a lethargic law enforcement system and an even apathetic and ineffective judicial system which DO NOT dispense speedy justice and hence people have lost their faith in these very systems meant to protect them from Crime). These laws are mostly used by unscrupulous women/their advisors with oblique motives, to gain undue advantage, to extort, to submit their adversaries by bringing in pressure of false criminal cases against them..  .

So on both counts these women-protection laws are a failure, and we have observed these inadequacies in the legal systems directly ourselves by way of tracking actual cases which flow along this system and never beget any justice any soon!, whether it be victims of crime, or victims of misue of law!... both do not get any justice from the present systems of justice delivery(or the lack of it!).

Going by the spirit of some gender biased law like Adultery(IPC Section 497, where the accused can only be a Man, and never can be a Woman!, why not?), PWDVA(Protection of Women against Domestic Violence act, where the petitioner SHOULD be a Woman and the Respondent SHOULD be a Man!), etc.,. in these laws its assumed that only Men are capable of committing these crimes, and women even if they are involved are to be considered as acting in duress or at the most abettors(only if the partner in crime in NOT and wife, but a Mother in law or a sister in law, in case of DV act cases filed by Wives!).

The other side to this lacunae in law is that law doesn't extend protection Men when it comes to certain crimes like DV act, Rape, Sexual harassment at work place/at public places/at domestic situations, etc (males get raped too, may be the argument is that its in a lesser number, but that is not enough a reason to deny men of protection by the laws of our country).

So your article is actually a good start point for the authorities to take notice of the pressing need of laws which also 1) Protects Males and 2) Protect males from being falsely accused with the misuse of women-protection laws. 

In our opition, for this to be ensured we just have to 1) make all our laws Gender-Neutral and 2) build-in a very stringent misuse clause in these very laws(which ensures that the courts take up, Suo Mottu, criminal proceedings against the complainants once the allegations are found false/vexatious.

Given the current state of polity(where majority of the politicians are either corrupt or do not care about the welfare of people) we can at least facilitate "Speedy Justice", but again this is more of a wishful thinking since corrupt politicians would not like justice to be any faster than what's the current state of affairs(scope for delay tactics, scope for subverting justice, scope for putting spokes in the wheel of "spirit of law", etc etc).

What we would like to do in this state of despair(we don't know what would resolve these age old issues of our country, but would like to attempt anything which could help to improve the situation) is to spread awareness of the above issues among the public and then evolve a solution which can then be followed-up tightly and implemented under the watchful eyes of the "actual public" (since we have long lost faith in the so called "people representatives")

We would like to associate with people like you who show the moral character to call a spade a spade and who consciously keeps the fire in them alive which can eventually change the way we all live!.

PS: You had hinted your article whether the rise in criminality is due to childhoods in dysfunctional and traumatising family situations, we confirm that this is the reason why each generation is falling into lower and lower standards of existence. We need to work on this need of Saving Indian Family system, you can read our further inputs in this regard here: http://at498a.blogspot.in/2013/05/a-imperialisticallybeautiful-mind.html

PASS(Purushavakasa Samrakshana Samiti, NGO, Thrissur. www.mensrights.in) - A group of our members are going to Trivandrum on 30th May, to represent our views and concerns about the proposed "2013, Kerala, Protection of Women's privacy and Decency Act"(for details refer the Bill text), infront of the Subject committee(who has called the public and interested organisations for representing their views, recording their opinions and evidences thereby).

This  Subject committee(No. XIV) is headed by CM of Kerala(refer The constitution of the committee, Press Note & Questionnaire for more details. You can also refer "The Handbook on Subject Committees" to prepare yourselves fully)

Other NGOs across Kerala too are attending this meeting with the subject committee in big numbers, this is a big opportunity for us to get our voices heard by the authorities and to prevent misuse of another upcoming law against men!.

Requesting friends to join us in big numbers, so that we can show our concern and seriousness in terms of our numbers too. Contact Gokul: 9633409355 or Sreekumar: 9446326794 for confirming your participation.

Tentative plan of visit: Leave Thrissur by 29th night to reach TVM by 10AM on 30th May. Leave TVM by night on 30th May.

*********************************
PS: Why we oppose this bill 1) Its not gender neutral, Men cannot take recourse of this law, if another man or woman does what is described as 'crime' in this bill 2) There is no misuse clause, as is the case with other widely misused women-protection laws.

"Peedanam"(Harassment/Violation of privacy and dignity of women, as if only women has privacy and dignity!!!) as defined in this bill is open to (mis)interpretation of the complainant, if she "feels" or "feigns" that she was violated(peedippikka pettu enna "thonnal"/ or "naatyam"!) the man is in soup.

There are no checks and balances especially when the 'crime-scene' setting is one to one, and its most probably than not one mans(woman-accuser) word against the another(the accused man). And in this law the word of a women is enough as proof(if she reports that the accused talked about her indecently/threatened to defame her, etc), which makes this law highly biased against men, as is the other women-protection laws which are being widely misused

Nowhere in this world does gender biased laws get implemented in such a large scale than in India. At least now that we know the situation and wide-spread misuse and losses due to such misuse ....why do we allow another biased law to be passed, when we know that its going to be misused!.

A (imperialistically)beautiful mind: Conquer, plunder, set fire and then lament about the sorry state of affairs!

Gist: After killing 100 rats, the cat goes for Haj!!! or "Sau chooha maarke billi haj ko chali!!! (paraphrasing a hindi saying)

Hi All,

 These are the same guys(Britishers) who cunningly found a way to demolish the bedrock of Indian supremacy... right back in 1835, Lord Macaulay remarked after travelling extensively across India that to subjugate India completely, britishers need to find ways to demolish our very backbone.... our spiritual and cultural heritage, so that they can replace our superior educational system, culture, values and family system, with English educational system and everything else english!.

And here Sir Winston Churchill is lamenting that India will turn into shambles if they leave India to its own.... after ruthlessly and consciously masterminding a planned and comprehensive anarchy and corruption in this country before hand(Lord Macaulay's above remark was made to the English parliament in 1835, see this link for the original scanned image reporting this(towards the bottom of this link) : http://at498a.blogspot.in/2010/02/economic-terrorism-and-its-family.html)

This is not an attempt to justify our present state of existence, this is just to put things in a better perspective... britishers were imperialistic power-mongers who lived and thrived by plundering nations after subjugating them, who employed all kind of sleight and deceit like the very successful "divide and rule" strategy to further their objectives. In the process they always left/quit the countries they used to rule upon... broken and in shambles, and preferably after creating a permanent source of disruption ... like how they masterminded the Indo-Pak division!, with a clear objective that both these countries they quit should never be able to  prosper as they can run wedges between them for a long long time even after they quit(those who have studied the clever 'wedges' they have driven into our internal structure would realise this very easily).

All Imperialists are just a bit more sophisticated than the barbarian armies of the past, who conquered, plundered and then set fire to lands they conquered, and made sure that they drove a final heart-wrenching 'wedge' into the very psyches of the conquered people, like raping the women of the conquered land, so that the men of the land feel so miserable that even after many many generations they as a society have this trauma fresh in their minds!!!. 

We are talking about the same barbarians, now in shiny coats and boots... so take all what they dish out... with a pinch of salt!... if at all u r unable to reject it outright, for what they are really worth. 

NB: Don't forget to read http://at498a.blogspot.in/2010/02/economic-terrorism-and-its-family.html to get a perspective of what is the main cause of India's maladies. Then it was the british, now its the USA... very long back it was the Barbarians.... just change of clothes, character is the same!... watch out for these parasites, for good.

regards

Gokul

Subject: Winston Churchill's argument against Independence for India

Churchill predicted about India 66 years ago.. and now the kind of corrupt politicians from the Central to State to the village/city councilmen, and the Govt officers in every level through out the country,  Churchill's prediction came 100% Right.    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_did_Winston_Churchill_think_about_India%27s_freedom#page3 Winston Churchill in Parliament for India Independence. When Mr. Clement Attlee, Prime Minister of United Kingdom, in June 1947, introduced the Indian Independence Act in the British Parliament, Sir Winston Churchill, argued against:- "Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water... would be taxed in India.  "

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!!!

Cycle Rally with Save Indian Family's message

On 15th September 2012, it was a Hartal against diesel price hike in Kerala, we took out a three men rally with three messages "Save Indian Family", "Save Energy" and "Stay Healthy".

Press release:

3 men with 3 messages set out on a cycle rally from Thrissur to Guruvayur via mulankunnathkavu/Medical college. The 3 messages "Save Indian Family", "Save Energy" & "Stay Healthy". Save Indian Family is a movement and network of NGOs fighting against misuse of women-protection laws which are victimising more women than any other law in India(26% women arrested out of the total arrested under section 498a of IPC(Cruelty law, popularly known as dowry law), compared to only 5.5% women arrested on an average of the total arrested on an average under various section of IPC!. 

Laws in the guise of women-protection are actually destructing families in India, families which are basic units of any nation.

Save Energy and Stay healthy are the benefits of cycling if more and more people take up cycling as a way of life, not just for exercising, but for all possible commutes(to work, to shops, for errands, etc) which can save petroleum based fuels or electricity(both forms of energy). Cycling also results in better health, lesser vehicular traffic on the roads, etc.,.

Hunt on for woman who cheated many men of lakhs after marriage

TNN | Aug 23, 2012, 03.30AM IST

CHENNAI: She told them she was a lawyer and convinced them she was the perfect mate. At least seven men from the city and elsewhere in the state were smitten and 'married' her before realizing a few others had similarly fallen for her. By then, it was too late.

After a football player from Pulianthope and a car showroom employee from Mugalivakkam, who together lost Rs 3 lakh to her, lodged complaints, police are looking for the woman who gave her name as Shahnaz and claimed she was from Thiruvananthapuram. She gave all her victims visiting cards that showed her to be a law graduate.

In his complaint to police commissioner J K Tripathy on Wednesday, Manikandan said he met her at the automobile showroom where he worked. Shahnaz showed him a photograph of a man who she claimed had cheated her friend promising marriage. She took Manikandan's number and later proposed to him.

The two got married on May 21, 2011 at a temple in Kunrathur and a grand reception was held at Porur. Later, she told Manikandan she was practising at the Madras high court and also wanted to enter the IAS. "She said she wanted to concentrate on her studies and asked me to put her in a hostel at Saidapet. I borrowed Rs 1.8 lakh to help her in July," Manikandan said. He continued to visit the hostel.

On November 8, Manikandan received a phone call saying the woman was missing from the hostel for more than a week. Later, he received a call from a man named Venkatesan who said she had cheated his brother of a huge sum in similar fashion. Subsequent inquiries revealed that she had cheated others, too, but Manikandan didn't approach police due as he was ashamed to admit he had been conned.

The other complainant, football player Prasanna said he had been in love with Shahanaz for some years but they got married five months ago after she threatened to commit suicide. In his complaint, Prasanna said he met her at a supermarket in Vepery. A while after the wedding at the Uthukadu Ellaiamman temple in Kancheepuram, Prasanna became suspicious when the supermarket owner showed him photographs of Shahnaz with other men.

"I confronted her, but she said the owner was a pervert who always harassed her," Prasanna said.

"When a few others told me she had married another person from the same area, I decided to lodge a complaint," he said.

Preliminary interrogations revealed that the woman had cheated seven men from various places in the state.

(3) Original News at: Manorama Online 


This woman is from Trivandrum(Kerala) duped 8 husbands(known till now) at least of lakhs, and made lakhs of rupees till now. Now she  has gone hiding and Tamil Nadu police is searching for her.

She posed as an advocate practicing in Chennai High Court and would stay in the "Husbands" house for some days after marriage and would stay separately in the pretext of preparing for civil service exams and then go absconding, and then look for the next victim-husband!.

This is not a one-off incident frauds like this and legal terrorism is happening rampantly in Kerala and elsehwere in India.

Misuse of Dowry Law- Munish Dalaal: `The film captures my pain'

If an average Indian has to wait for 9 years to prove his innocence(this is just a Trial/Lower court order, god knows how many more years it will take to get a clean chit from Supreme Court, if the opposite party decides to appeal), what will be the future of this country. Munish Dalaal's name was mentioned in 6th standards text books, portraying him has a dowry seeker and a man of low morals, alleging that he backed out of his wedding with Nisha Sharma. Now who will erase this defamation, who is responsible for this?.

This is not an isolated incident, everyday thousands of innocent Indians are getting falsely trapped in such false cases.... if we do not act now, YOU COULD BE NEXT!.

BANGALORE: Movies voicing the plight of women have been a part of the Indian film fraternity for decades. The small screen too has had its fair share of success with its women-centric soaps, where it mostly dealt with social stigmas that Indian women face. It took all this while for the film industry to come up with a decent topic that voices the haplessness of countless Indian men and their families.

Section 498A which is one of the most powerful and a highly abused sections of Indian Penal Code is known as a law that has caused more damage than remedy. Thousands of men and women are jailed every year without trial or investigation under this section.

Television personality Suhaib IIyasi has now come up with a movie based on this concept. ‘498A- The Wedding Gift’ was inspired from a real life incident where a Canadian NRI techie, Sayed Makhdoom, commits suicide. He was a victim of the misuse of this section and left four suicide notes. His death was recorded on his mobile phone.

The film which is directed and produced by Suhaib IIyasi, features veteran actors like Farida Jalal,Alok Nath, Sushma Sen and Reema Lagoo among others. The film is a tragi-comedy, and aims at educating the Indian crowd about the ills of the law.

“Men too have issues, and most Indians are not aware of the other side of section 498A. Other than spreading awareness about the issue, we are also requesting the government to amend it. The law is easily misused and is never in the best interest of the family,” said Kumar Jahgirdar, Director of Children’s Rights Initiative for Shared Parenting (CRISP).

Manmohan Singh’s lookalike Gurmeet Singh is in city to take your questions on laws which he feels heavily favour women

S Shyam Prasad shyam.prasad1@timesgroup.com



_If you’ve ever nursed an ambition to be photographed with the prime minister, today’s your chance. Gurmeet Singh, who is in Bangalore to promote his debut movie The Wedding Gift, looks so much like Manmohan Singh that even Sonia Gandhi ends up being muddled.

In fact, it was an episode with Sonia that made film director Suhaib Ilyasi cast Gurmeet as the prime minister in his film. “At a public function in New Delhi, I saw Sonia Gandhi get up to welcome prime minister Manmohan Singh. To everyone’s surprise, it turned out to be Gurmeet Singh. I immediately knew I had the actor for my film. He is not only Manmohan’s lookalike, but even his voice is similar,” Ilyasi said.

Gurmeet loves the confusion that he leaves in his wake and does nothing to set it right. On the contrary, he wears Manmohan’s trademark blue turban and white kurta-pyjama in public, leaving security personnel at their wits’ end. He even flummoxed staff at the hospital where Manmohan underwent a heart surgery by walking around.

Gurmeet is an All India Congress Committee (AICC) media co-ordinator and knows the PM. “I have met the prime minister on a few occasions. He calls me by my name. I have met his family members also,” says the 67-year-old,” he said.

He was into the family’s cold storage business in Delhi until 2004 when Manmohan became the prime minister. Leaving the business to his brother, Gurmeet joined the Congress.

“I was a close friend of Ajit Jogi. It was because of him that I joined. I have worked as a campaign organiser for Manmohan Singhji. I can go on about the many funny incidents that take place because of my resemblance to him,” says Singh.

The latest confusion happened two days ago when Gurmeet went to watch India play against Italy in the Olympics Hockey qualifiers. The television commentator announced that the prime minister was watching the match and it was only later that he realised his mistake and revealed that it was Gurmeet the lookalike.

PM’S PRESS MEET

GURMEET SINGH will be answering questions about the Indian Penal Code and other laws allegedly misused by women to harass their husbands. No, he’s no activist. But, his film ‘The Wedding Gift’ is about the misuse of Section 498(A) of the IPC.

The Maha relay vehicle rally for Men's rights(pan-India)

The Maha relay vehicle rally for Men's rights(pan-India): In conjunction with the National meet for men's rights, Chennai, 2012.

Need riders for The Maha Relay vehicle rally for Men's rights(pan-India): Only a relay format rally would be feasible for most of us, for the ones who are on/planning to be on a sabbatical a ride till delhi is well possible(radial routes to Chennai(where the National meet for Men's rights is going to be conducted this year, mostly on 17th and 18th of November) from their hometowns in various parts of India).

The plan is to conduct the rally from November 8th to 15th, start points being North end of India, South, West and East(and may be others if local centres fall in between these coordinates). The longest route may be from the North End of India(say Delhi or Chandigarh) to Chennai, which will be the longest to cover(2100 & 2424 kms respectively), one can easily do 400-500 Km per day(on bikes, cars can do more but they will have to pace with the bikes since its a rally, not a race!) with planned stops for food/breaks and SIF events/dharnas/press conferences... which means a relay team can reach Chennaii from Delhi or Punjab in max 6 days, but lets keep 1 day for buffer/rest/contingency., so 7 days max to Chennai from any extreme of India).

As of now the following members have shown interest in this relay bike rally for Men's rights:
Name Starting from
1) Gokul.P.R - Thrissur, Kerala
2) Amit Yadav - Delhi
3) Atit Rajpara - Pune
4) Yaksh - Lucknow
5) Suhail - Mumbai
6) Sachit - Delhi
7) D.S.Rao - Kolkata
8) Amol - Pune
9) Aggarwal - Gurgaon

We need to execute this "Maha relay rally for Men's rights(pan-India)" milestone... the media frenzy it could whip up and the resultant public interest would be among last nails in the coffin of misandry in India, so screw it..... lets do it(as goes the title of Richard Branson's .book:http://sharatthakur.com/?p=8).

Need more volunteers who can ride and organise a local group from wherever they plan to start the relay rally from(need not ride the full length till Chennai, since its a relay rally one can ride for how muchever kilometers he is comfortable in joining the rally).

At the end of the rally riders can attend the All India Men's rights National meet, conducted in Chennai this year(venue and other confirmed details will be announced later). We can arrange for the bikes to be transported back to the respective locations too, so do not hesitate, we are all here to make this mega events sizzle, just sign up and the rest ... we will all make it happen.

Another man facing legal terrorism takes justice into his hands and then gives up on his own life

Another man facing legal terrorism takes justice into his hands and then gives up on his own life. How many more will have to walk this road before justice prevails.

Pradeep Jain was a victim of legal terrorism(false case of IPC 498a) and was denied access to his child, he broke down and went on a rampage, before he took his own life. This can happen to any man faced with similar situations.... we should act before its late. See the original news in TOI quoted below.

JAIPUR: Pradeep Jain, 32, who shot four members of his in-laws family, including his wife, was on a confrontation with his in-laws since 2006.

After his separation from the family, it was a mutual understanding that the baby would be given to Jain. However, the custody of the child was never given to him.

Addressing a gathering of over 2,000 people after he stepped on to the balcony of his sister's house at Devali town, Jain said: "They have been harassing me since 2006. I was fed up with the way the society including police, women's organizations and relatives responded to my worries and problems."

Pointing a gun on his forehead, he threatened that "if anyone dares to come closer, I will shoot myself." In a high drama that lasted for more than two hours, Jain asked the police to bring media persons to take his viewpoint. "Media se baat karwado nahin to maroonga (Bring media persons for interaction or I will die). Following the threat, reporters of various TV channels gave him the microphone.

'Doston, mein patni, pesha aur zameen se pareshan hum, koi meri nahin sunte (Friends, I am fed up with wife, profession and land and nobody bothers)," he said.
Later, thousands were taken aback when they came to know that he shot himself on the forehead.


**************** Another Victim of Legal Terrorism************


Another depressed father, Syed Makhdoom, had committed suicide on 5th April 09, leaving 4 suicide notes and the video appearing below, which was recorded on his mobile. Here he clearly mentions how he was tortured by his wife & in-laws and that he was not allowed to even see his only son, whom he loved more than his life.


There is also a heart wrenching message to the entire society towards the end. 


It was Syed's suicide which inspired his friend and film maker Mr.Suhaib Ilyasi to make the film "498a - The wedding gift"






When will this end?, when will the system stop cornering men, forcing them to turn desperadoes
