Satyameva jayate-3

I was searching for a metaphor for a situation where one fears a lot to step forward towards the thing he has strongest urge for because of his tenacious attitude towards having a peaceful and calm life for the people who might get affected. What you do, what you not and what you intend to do are influenced by the people you care for that keeps you in the perimeter of righteousness. But who has to decide that who is right and who is not? With different mindsets backed up by the different bringing and brought-ups, society is surviving with a number of divides. Particularly India where freedom to think and express is still a far- fetched aspiration of young Indians, suffers with the consequences that are stealing the soul of an efficient nation.

Domestic violence is an activity that tears apart the very meaning of home which splinters into lodge of sorrow, discontent, depression and despair and is mainly a trademark of men in the affected sections of the society using power over the ones they consider weaker. The question of superiority among manhood and womanhood has been in the debates since ages and since ages people have changed, generations have come and gone, revolutions have ushered, transformations have happened: few results appear on the surface but  core of the social thinking is still in the claws of Patriarchal dungeon. Indian society today has a shining skin having all such qualities a developing nation should have like independence, self realisation and self-confidence. The new generation has also matured to understand the loop holes where to work on to make India a healthy and better India. But despite all these accomplishments, in the ground realities there is one fossilised thinking or we can say a rigid subconscious approach in every Indian to compare and decide responsibilities and roles of other people in their lives. This domineering mentality of disdaining and looking down at partners is nothing but a cursed consequence of Indian tampered culture that has number of incidents, anecdotes and rituals that nowhere justifies equality that is humanity.

In many homes where the child has been growing up seeing mothers feeding the family, running since morning till night to keep everything in place and just right and still becoming the victim of the bashes of the man who has to relieve his pressure from the outside world somehow, may turn the child into two kinds of persons: one who thinks that it is the right of the woman to keep her man happy that will make her home happy or the one who becomes silent enough to confront any injustice further in his life like the victim did for his sake. In both the cases such a child is not going to be an architect of inspiration: neither for himself, nor for his family. And this is what is happening in almost every second home where we have multiplying number of victims and induced victims. And if really enduring a pain helps to heal the wound then make sure that the wound is not contagious.

Beating up women of the house, tormenting them through the indifference and scornful abuses and then justifying it with some excuses proves that the person is mentally sick, impotent enough to discover his real manhood that really is defined in terms of supporting the women in their lives, sharing their needs and understanding them in the same manner as they are being understood and taken best care of. The cases Amir showed today seem quite uncommon to a large section of the society that can never think of such situations where their lives would be controlled or adjudged and not shared and that too after the most promising event of life,marraiage.The sufferers are the victims of this deadly thinking that  one has to be better to make the other and the relationship 'best’. The rage of this false ego and illogical non acceptance of equality kills the peace of family and fails to salute humanity that has parity in every sphere of life.

All we need is to get this into mind that love comes when we share and hatred comes when love is just demanded. I remember the lines of the social activist on the show that let us all move on to look for life-partners that are real men. If you are not happy, feel it and listen to what your heart is really asking you to do because life is what you make it. Respect yourself, respect your life, have respect for each other and then making choices would become easy and the relationship that ways would be exemplary and a beautiful communion of understanding and gifting real pleasures."Dont drag and bear the burden of not listening to the life whisperers and falling at the feet of ego, envy and hatred as  you crawl towards the end of life because no one wants to be alone at the end."

Another eye-opening and sensitive issue of our society that is one hard core truth not being accepted and understood the way it should be, despite the fact that every second child including me and you at some point of time is the victim. Child sexual abuse is quite common and to no surprise can be realised in our surroundings if we have an eye to see and recognise the perverts prevailing in our own neighbourhood in numbers. Indian society that is considered to have one of the most rich cultures when we talk about our behavioral attributes to our relatives and kin, hides several such issues of embarassment, humiliation and assault that is rarely surfaced and vindicated from the heavy heart of the victims. Cause the tender age that is unable to decide and open up while he/she is undergoing an emotional and physical torture becomes a robbed entity whose childhood has been turned into a hell. The child may prefer to forget and cut out this part of his/her life than to tell anyone and rekindle the pain of their pampered hearts. A child is much more adult thatn an adult is and has much more original and natural emotions that a grown up might have. These feelings unknowingly create a hesitation to share those things that might hurt or anger or frustrate their loved ones, no matter what and how badly they themselves are suffering. The hugeness of their concern and thinking is something that should be intuitively known to each and every parent so that they create such a bond that the child finds no difference in between him and them. There are possibilities that despite such intimacies and closeness, some factors might intimidate or refrain the child from speaking up and gather the courage to confront such beastful gestures but we are the only one who have to make sure that they are safe and secured.

The sickness of abusers can be found too common, some are daring to  put it into practice while some satisfy their delirious urges by indirect means but the most horrifying aspect is that in both the cases the victim is tormented equally. We may find people whose way of looking or talking or touching itself speaks up for their intentions and the dirtiness of mind. They might be all good in other activities and gestures but these uninvited courtesies make so many around them uncomfortable. We in our professional and social life are held among deluge of such people whose risque and gross manners make us feel like banging their heads against their walls and bring them in front of masses to open the cup of their mind to show how much frowsty flesh is in there. We know stuffs, we know our rights and power and thus are able to defeat their intentions but this in no manner reduces their number and changes their thinking. Kids who are not aware of the types of people around them, nor they have any idea of things that may be bad become easily accessible and tameable victims to them. And their understanding towards whatever is happening to them takes a lot of time to protest and confront them. By that time the child shrinks into his own cocoon and surrenders himself/herself to the situation . The pain, the mental trauma, the tormented soul and the raped childhood are something beyond our imagination. Everyone wants to look back in the garden of yore where lies their childhood, smiling and full of happiness. But some childhoods are like the darkest lanes with hounding voices of monsters that would haunt them whenever they would try to remember their past.

The survivors on the show gathered all the courage to reminisce once again that part of their life which they want to burn out and proved that will and audacity of hope can heal every wound. There are many untold stories in the eyes of your child that needs to be heard and a strict lesson equivalent to death needs to be given to all such disgraceful and sick minded people who lose their dignity by insulting one of the most natural forms of God.

Thank you Amir to unfold this chapter to make us realise that we need to be more vigilant towards our children and make them smart enough to root out such hateful practices.The relatives, friends, aquaintances and others are most welcome to share our happiness but they will never be allowed to own it.

Satyameva Jayate

Any social canker that we all  are aware of but pretend not to do anything with it succeds in fostering its roots deep into the society where somewhere, sometime we all get affected.Changes that we all want to see but think before making a step forward to make one, proves that our will still has to reach at the top where we would understand power in ourselves. 

With all such themes, Amir Khan's production Satyameva Jayate came up with its first episode on female foeticide. It presented the case of three victimised and physically and mentally traumatised women whose pain and sufferings are beyond our tolerance limits. They seemed to be belonging to a different kind of world where fossilised thinking, beastness and barbarity has further defeated the purpose of humanity, a world of which we are not at all aquainted with. We cannot chalk out a single reason behind this sin because people involved belong to different backgrounds, different mindsets indicating that the custom of murdering is prevalent in various sections of the society.It might be our neighbourhood or own house. Amir has tried to show and put up a realisation that whatever we hear or read in the newspaper are not only true but the consequential effects are awfully disgraceful which never allows us to say ourselves humankind again.

We, the watchers cried at their story and wished that nothing such should be the story of anyone else. But here we realise that wishes are just to second that close your eyes and nightmare will vanish. It's true that we are only culpable of the crimes that we might not support but might not be against them.Contributing your conscience towards the upliftment of humanity, upliftment of India doesnt demand much of our efforts but just a commitment that we make our own decisions which would be unbiased, unaffected by the promoters of hateful acts.Killing a child based on its gender is something so disdainful that defeats all noble deeds that one might have done in his life cause it opens up that corner of his mind where devils live and waited for a chance to come out.Noone can decide anyone's life even if he is related to him/her by blood.Making an authoritorian command over others life shows the insecurity and power of the weakness inside, leading the person to dump his baseless thoughts on someone whom he considers weaker than him. 

All the three ladies who survived in the mayhem sooner or later need a nation-wide salute that might help them in healing the lifelong wound they have on their hearts. It's something that can happen to anyone, anytime in life because even now our eyes and minds sometimes fail in recognising deceitful people.But if we are strong , our thinking is strong and we do have a respect for our own life, I think we can be a good warrior at this warfront. A message to all those sinners and murderers who still do not find out where are they wrong," You are born with a heart but you will die heartless;You are born with a mind but you willl die mindless;For all that you are doing you are already dead and your efforts in decorating your graveyard will one day make your self the charmer of this place."

For all such bravehearts who mustered up to pull themselves up together to live life again with a fresh start forgetting all that has happened, I can say," Life that turns out meaningless and unfair, calls that it's time to give your life a new meaning and those who listen to this call are the real heroes, heart made of rocks and hands made of self crated destiny."

A healing rythm:
