Open letter to Maneka Gandhi - on Violence by Men

An open letter to Maneka Gandhi Ji

















To

Ms.Maneka Gandhi
The Union Cabinet Minister
Women & Child Development (WCD)

Dear Respectable Ma`am

I came across a statement made by you recently, which inferred, referred and even clearly conveyed one thing, that WE, men are the violence creators. As per the statement made you

"the role of men in gender sensitization was the most critical since "all the violence is male-generated. We have introduced (the concept of) 'Gender Champions' in schools, under which boys who have been respectful and helpful to girls will be rewarded".

Probably you will convince the girls and kids that, All men are dogs.

Keeping in view your superb, brilliant, and intellectual statement, i would request you pls reconsider what you said. I am trying to give you some stats (as these no.`s speak up more these days than a human can). Hopefully, you will understand it more after that.

More than 40% of domestic violence victims are male, report reveals
Data from Home Office statistical bulletins and the British Crime Survey show that men made up about 40% of domestic violence victims each year between 2004-05 and 2008-09, the last year for which figures are available. In 2006-07 men made up 43.4% of all those who had suffered partner abuse in the previous year, which rose to 45.5% in 2007-08 but fell to 37.7% in 2008-09.

And these whopping figures have come out when it is considered a SOCIAL STIGMA for a Man`s Masculinity to come out and report such violence. These days God Google is there, so before making any such statement, pls refer to a Google Search and you will come to know about the reality. 

Taking a pride in being a Man, i would say, that i would forgive for such a vague, baseless and uncalled for statement. But request you to be careful while making a statement on such sensitive issues.
Anyone who is victim of Domestic Violence needs support, be it a man or a woman.

Thanks

REGARDS

A non-voilent Man

GANDHIJI TALISMAN

Image
                                                       GANDHIJI`s TALISMAN I used to be a kid a long ago, why am i re-iterating it, anyways. I mean when i was small, i studied in a NCERT books. And all the books before anything else, had a familiar face, of M.K.Gandhi with his Talisman on it. Gandhiji`s Talisman.                                                                                          And no teacher ever, ever, ever read that page or even tried to explain it to us, and thanks to them for that. Otherwise i would have never read it out of curiosity and my keen ness to know the meaning of it, would have died. When i reached my 9th or 10th Standard, i thought why is this uncle Ji`s photo imprinted everywhere with something written down under. Finally i tried to read that, and more importantly and un-successfuly i tried to understand that as well. It was Gandhi Ji`s Talisman. It was the year 1997-1998. But i still remember it by my heart, and i am still not

CHAJJU HALWAI as Delhi ka CM

CHHAJJU Halwai as Delhi CM Chhajju halwai look alike Delhi:- Amidst all the rift, tiff, stiff and stuff which is going on between LG ( the only, popular and known governor of india) & Mr. Arvind K. There is a news that the famous Chhaju halwai of delhi, famous for his honest samosas*, has applied for the post of CM. As between the rift nothing seems to be happening and it seems as if CM is nothing more than a spectator. Chhajju Ji is thinking that he also needs some chair to sit and think, so he applied for this position. And meanwhile, till the time this rift goes on, he can enjoy and feel the position of CM, which anyways has no powers. He claimed that his shop and its appliances are also having no power in the day, so this position of CM will provide him a very professional and homely atmosphere. He told our senior rasiya reporter, Mr. Rass ka Gulla , that he will be writing a letter to our PMs. 1 PM is Mr.Pranab Mukherjee and other one is Prime Minister. Fortunat

ARJUN and KRISHNA

DEFINITION OF RENUNCIATION AND SACRIFICE Lord Krishna said: The sages define renunciation as abstaining from all work for personal profit. The wise define sacrifice as the sacrifice of, and the freedom from, the selfish attachment to the fruits of all work. (See also 5.01, 5.05, and 6.01) (18.02) Some philosophers say that all work is full of faults and should be given up, while others say that acts of sacrifice, charity, and austerity should not be abandoned. (18.03) O Arjuna, listen to My conclusion about sacrifice. Sacrifice is said to be of three types. (18.04) Acts of service, charity, and austerity should not be abandoned, but should be performed, because service, charity, and austerity are the purifiers of the wise. (18.05) Even these obligatory works should be performed without attachment to the fruits. This is My definite supreme advice, O Arjuna. (18.06) THREE TYPES OF SACRIFICE Giving up one's duty is not proper. The abandonment of ob
