I agree with you Mr. Ansari

And I thought I was living in a democratic country!

Mr. Iqbal Ansari is seriously surprised “I am surprised at the hue and cry. As a society, it is our duty to protect women…what is wrong with that?”

Nothing wrong Mr. Ansari, other than this that your thinking is just too funny!

There is a saying in Bengali ‘eating food on the floor, because you are upset at the thief (who has stolen your utensils)’! And I have been thinking about this since the time I read Mr. Ansari’s comment in the newspaper and laughing to my heart’s content. Let me add here, I was even joined in my impromptu laughter schedule by a few friends who actually called me up on my mobile phone to convey their dismay!

So much for political amusement!

Ok, let me understand these properly:

1. Does protecting women mean keeping them inside the house and locking them behind bars, because there are some sub-human animals prying on the road?

(Gimme a Break, Dude!)

2. There is another way of course, like wearing a burqa or something, and get covered completely from head to toe, so that the woman doesn’t attract a man’s attention on the road and lure him to jump on her. But, there is a problem too. Even such burqa clad women get raped, assaulted or murdered?

(You don’t believe me? Read it here : http://www.themodernreligion.com/women/w_harassmuslims.htm)


So, we are back to square one. And what is the option left now? Very simple!

Come out with a law where woman will not be allowed to work, go out of their homes or show their faces, because protecting a woman is no more protecting them from the lunatics of the world but protecting them from turning a man into a lunatic. At the end of the day, it’s the woman who induces such behavior towards her. Right? (See, we have learnt the basics so fast!)


And yes, that way our police force can concentrate on more important jobs – like killing a few ‘criminals’ in some cross-country encounters…


Jai Hind!
