The so called elite of the society, sits in their cocoons, and starts judging and condemning "attrocities" of society and on women and happenings beyond their comfort zones. What is the truth? What does this society REALLY need? Whats the practical, implementable, actionable result oriented effective plan?
I came across a news article mentioning a new law for crimes related to rape and specifically involves a girl child, in a far away county, Madagaskar. The news states that the culprit will be punished with castration and life long hard punishment. Perhaps! Justified to their society and social norms and culture and circumstances.
Reading the article, some elite educated Indian women started a petition for similar law in the country for similar crime. It made me think, dwell on idea. How effective is a legal action to stop such crimes? What is really needed to stop such atrocities? What's my view?
If law can control crimes, there wouldn't be so many jails and criminals in them. If it is so simple to pass a law n sit back n watch the society move on smoothly, controlled, there wouldn't be corruption, dowry deaths, child marriages, domestic violence, traffic challans, Road accidents, frauds, altogether no need for Police force.
I believe what is required is proper education. Not degrees. It's useless to expect decent human knowledge n upliftment from the existing commercialized education institutions. They are just factories producing mass samples of machines with no common sense n human values. Coming out of these huge money suking bodies, they themselves with no human values, with waste filled brains, some of these humans don't even know why n what they have studied and how to apply their gained "knowledge" in real life. I have witnessed and stating this fact. So, cannot expect existing education to teach human values.
I started believing that it's time to bring back our lost family structure and family system and reintroduce values in the society.
No religion or culture preaches sadism. Or Tells to kill your neighbour. Or Steal from your loved ones. Or Cheat your customers. So, from where all these inhuman thoughts and actions are coming and hurting all living beings?
Once I read a book by Swamy Vivekananda. He says thoughts become energy waves and vibrates in universe. These waves will be attracted by "receptors". These receptors or like minded may get a chance to work on the thought. I can think of one example. In our childhood one popular Sunday show on TV was 'Star Treck'. We were very much fascinated by the small devices all the characters carried. Captain Kirk flips open a device to give instructions. However I never imagined that one day that device in the form of a mobile will be in everyone's hands. Much later in my life, I bought one Motorola mobile phone which looked exactly like that device.
My point is, it's time to consciously start filling universe with positive thoughts. Make every human, since birth, think good thoughts. Fill thoughts of Respect. Respect to elders. Respect to other humans, Cultures, beliefs, faiths, every God's creation, n even every man made things. Fill thoughts with human values.
May be 'teach' children more about ethics n morals than numbers n machines n money.
It's time for a social revolution to bring back human values into the society. It's time to call out all those activists to take a step towards real positive change.
An independent psychological study on these rapists will help to rectify this menace. Taking this issue with multiple approaches only will have desirable results. Forming legal frame work is only one approach. Creating infrastructure for effective implementation is also essential. Otherwise, the whole legal system with implementation of punishment mode will turn out to be ancient Roman circus where criminals were fed to lions n
people enjoyed the act instead of fearing it.
Majority of criminals act out of frustration. Anger. Primitive Animal instincts surface out of despair. Then they look for vunarable easy prey.
Cinemas, advertisements, media are one huge impacts on weak minds n youngsters. Half naked sculptures from ancient civilisation were part of that society but not some erotic figurines in a cabaret. Earlier humans had understanding of physical bodies n functioning. Today this 'advanced' 'modren' 'forward' societies are not able to handle one revealed part of human body. Everything is sex. Again there is no free of thought expression of sex. Why, What is so natural n primitive n evolution process is made something so vulgar? Why our actors are so erotic in the name of glamour n acting? Search Google for effects of cinema - a psychological study. You will find a couple of articles done for a supreme court case where its priven the impact of three hours of closed environment on an adult's mind.
End of the day, we humans, part of, this unreasonable society are the reason for creating such criminals. Of course I don't deny that some are born with criminal mentality. There should be an early detection system to remove them from main stream society instead of waiting for some incident to happen and someone to get hurt.
Start today. Now. Start Teaching children compassion. Sensitivity. Start in your own home. In your own neighbourhood. Take responsibility to create a dependable enriched society. Stop being demanding and abusive. Give importance to human values.
