To start with let me tell you a small story.
This story is about a woman who lives in a remote village in U.P. This place is very backward. The life is so cool with contaminated water supply, poor sanitation, no power supply, no connecting roads, no hospital and no medical aid available.
Without the electricity, living in mud houses where they make floor with cow dung. Men of this village does not work and enjoys playing cards under the natural shade, smoke Bidi, eat gutkha in the morning and drink in the evening and sleep. Women does house hold work, goes to the farm ( as workers, as the land is with the zamindaar and work hard the whole day, comes home, do rest of the household work, listens to abuses, get kicked from husband for some small mistakes, gets ready as a sex equipment for the husband and sometimes for the zamindaar and in the end cries and sleep. The kids of this village does not go to the school as their are no teachers. some of them just play day and night - eat and sleep, and some are infected with child labour. Kids also watch their parents fighting and learns how to abuse and treat the mother as treated by their fathers. Some of the kids who stops their father gets beaten up and in the end they also sleeps as they are too tired. So the life goes on like this for them.
So this is the story. This is still happening in India and if India needs to grow, it has to start growing from the Base. And the Base is Rural India. According to the 2001 Indian census, 74% of Indians live in 638,365 different villages. We are talking about super power but the real super power will be achieved only when the villages of India will get the basic facilities like electricity, water, food, employment to both men and women, medical aid, education to men-women-children and infrastructure.
There are still many villages where their is no electicity and still living with lamps on in the night. Water which comes is contaminated. Medical facilities are just for the name sake. In many of the cases these villages are getting expired medicines. Education is just for the name sake. In many of the villages there are school buildings but there are no teachers. In some of the villages, there are no roads. People use the railway track to cross the river lines. Malnutrition is very common among the villagers as they are too poor to afford the good food. Many of them lives on rice and dal. And I can bet you if you can eat rice and dal cooked by them. Its a hard life out there.
Now, let's talk about or dream a village which has all the basic amenities. People are aware of importance of cleanliness and importance of educating themselves and their kids. As they keep their area clean they do not fall sick frequently. As they are educated, they know what is right and what is wrong. Now no one can fool them by giving them expired medicines, zamindaar can not just make them work forever for him, women are not used as a baby making machine, women are not forced for early marriages, kids are enjoying going to school and are not forced into child labour. Education has helped them getting jobs such as government teacher or working in government hospitals. May be few companies will also start their operations from that village as they will be getting skilled labour. Now the kids and the family members are getting good food to eat as the parents are earning well. The roads are proper and is connecting to the main road. A bus is easily available for them to move from one place to another, even for work. Now if you see them you will find clean and smiling faces because now they are fit and fine and living a healthy life style. BUT THE QUESTION IS -- WILL THIS HAPPEN?
Just promising the villagers for a better life is not enough. Its good to give them hopes and see smiling faces. But is this enough? If the government is not doing then who will do it. Crores of Rupees are been collected on the face of upliftment of the poor. Taxes are collected on the face of uplifting socio-economic status. But where does the money go. As we keep on hearing the money is spent on the statues of our so called leaders and increasing assets of our leaders. If this is not true then why any common man when meet another common man and if they talk about India's growth, thinks that our leaders are just filling their stomach. Isn't it true. Who's to be blamed for villagers condition or poor's condition. The system has to work more efficiently. It has to show results. I appriciate the way Mr. Rahul Gandhi is working hard in accelerate the youth congress membership campaign. Now if the government does something to uplift the villages of India, that would be great. The people who are forced to come to big cities to find work would be happy to stay in their village with their families. People have not closed their eyes or can't speak. They can see everything but as they do not have power - power of literacy, power of healthy living and power of awareness, they are forced to listen or elect the leaders who are selfish and just bothered about themselves.
In the last I will say .....If the government is really really bothered about poor's upliftment or India to become super power, then they should be doing some thing in real and not just talking about it.
( I may have used few harsh words. I apologies to those who have not liked the words used )

Where are we heading ? - super power or poor power
These days this is the only one question which tickles my mind....
On one side we talk about super power, millennium cities of India, modern India, common wealth games etc., and on the other side if you see deeply inside India, there are all sad stories. Stories related to crime, misuse of one's powers, religion/state fights, hatred, dirty politics, no education for poor, no medical facilities for poor, no shelter for poor, infrastructure problems and many more.
Crime is increasing day by day. Every single day we can read at least ten stories of crime which get registered but there are many more which does not even get registered. Murders, rapes, abusing, land scams, cash scams, snatching of any kind, etc. The number is just increasing day by day. Police and courts are doing their job but who knows what exactly they are doing. 3 million cases are pending in the courts of India. Isn't this shameful. Police themselves are involved in many cases.
Every time we just hear the news and leaves it. No one wants to do anything about it. If a common man wants to do something he will not be able to do anything as the system will not allow him but force him to do his own work. Now suppose system allows, but the ladder to is too huge. And on every step, he would be asked to do 100 stunts and by the time he will finish them he would be so much tired and frustrated (because of lack of support and motivation) that he will just leave it and may also think "Its not happening with me then why should I be bothered."
Now lets talk about religion/state fights. India is moving towards super power and we Indians are also growing mentally, socially, and economically and yes off course Indians are educated enough to understand that we are Indians and not Gujarati or a south Indian or north Indian or Bengali or Marathi manoos. I pity the people who think they are Madras or Bengali or Gujarati instead of being proud to be an Indian. People of India are forgetting that they are just Indians. Freedom fighters were just Indians and they fought for India and not for one state or the other. We say Britishers ruled us with one policy "Divide and Rule". But if you think now also its divide and rule policy of our leaders or politicians. They are applying the same policy.Don't we realise this.
I hear people talking very proudly about the state where they belong to ( as per their thinking ) and then talking ill about the other state where they are living and earning. Have you ever noticed it. If you go to south, it will be difficult for you to find something written in Hindi. When I was in college ( in Chennai ) everywhere the boards on the road or at the railway station where it was written written in Hindi were painted black. I hear people saying from south saying that south is better than north and we will go back to south in our old age. I want to ask all those so called south Indians or Marathi manoos or anyone that why you come and work in other states then. Why don't you live there and earn there itself. Stop saying bad about other states. In my school, there used to be groups in our class or the whole school. The groups were of Bengali girls, south Indians girls and so on. I never liked it. Now this - compulsory Marathi language issue. This is a real funny thing happening. When Hindi is our national language then why the people from other states who are in Maharashtra are suppose to know Marathi. And the best thing about this is that the so called leaders of our country who are in Gujarat are into gundagiri. Wow this is great. And when I hear educated people talking in favour of this issue, its shocking.
Now this politics and our politicians, what to talk about them. When I was a kid, I use to think these politicians are our leaders and they only think about India's and its people's welfare. But slowly and slowly this thinking was lost some where. What I feel that only 10% of leaders must be doing good for India but 90% of them are just filling their pockets and playing a blaming game to get power and nothing else. If there is a issue, instead of solving it they would think how to blame the other party and how to get benefit out of it. Sometimes I think that we would have been better off before the Independence. Have we taken Independence for hating each other? Why this hatred is there? All of us knows the good things taught to us in our schools but when we grow up we forget everything. " All Indians are my brother's and sisters" do you remember this sentence. They why we hate the other person. This marathi manoos thing has occured only because of one thing and that is "hatred". We are the culprits of keeping such people as our leaders.
When we go for some interview the first thing which is checked by the interviewer or the company is the education background. But do we know what is the education background of our leaders? No we do not know. We reject the person who is not well educated in an interview but we choose a leader who has not done even his graduation and think that he will be able to run our country. Great.... And do not forget one more thing and that is the criminal record. If a common man has done a small crime, we stay away from him but as a leader we will try to take his blessings also. Wow.... just think about it......
We talk about modern India, millennium cities and modern people. But have we grown up within? By wearing so called modern clothes, by going to night parties, by talking in slang language, by insulting anyone and any where, by having living relationships, by being a gay or a lesbian, or by going to abroad are we called modern. People are going towards showing off. The thinking is still 50 or 100 years old. I am talking about at least 80% of Indians of our country. We are just following western countries like monkey's and not using our brain at all. We need to see where we stand first and improve ourselves first and then follow others. I mean why always copy or follow other countries. Its good to copy good things but we need to equip ourselves first. The word "thinking" is the equipment.
I will give you some examples. The one would be ....
1. a female who has taken or given divorce : The first thing which comes in our mind ( about 70% of us)"must be because of her character/ego only". Many of us would be concentrating on "lets get some spice to talk about" and some of us would not be bothered at all. 90% of male would love to be with her for only one reason. So tell me have we changed our thinking?
2. late marriage : People will have nothing else to talk about except finding the reasons of not marrying.
3. Playing with poor kids ( live example ): In front of my house there is a construction site (of a house)where the work is going on full swing.There are 3 labourer's kids who plays with my son in front of my house only. I have around 6 neighbours and 2 of them are fine with my kid playing with these kids. 3 of them are not saying any thing but I can see their faces taking twist and turns. So why make faces. I mean our kids does not know about these things or what. Abusing is so common that our kids are suppose to learn. From streets to the movies, they watch everything. Internet is teaching them everything. The solution is not stoping them from knowing these things but to tell them what is right and what is wrong or what is good and what is bad. Our kids are intelligent and smart. What we knew when we were 8 years old they know when they are 5 years old. So have we changed our thinking.
Now let's talk about Education and medical facilities for poor. This is too HS or fashionable these days talking about poor's growth. The salaried man gives 33% of the hard earned salary as income tax apart from the other taxes. Corporates, business men also gives various taxes. As per our constitution it is required for the welfare of our country. I thought welfare will also mean poor's welfare.
If we talk about literacy, then before starting any dialogues, let me make you aware with the following findings:
"Literacy in India is key for socio-economic progress,and the Indian literacy rate grew to 66% in 2007 from 12% at the end of British rule in 1947. Although this was a greater than fivefold improvement, the level is well below the world average literacy rate of 84%,and India currently has the largest illiterate population of any nation on earth. Despite government programs, India's literacy rate increased only "sluggishly," and a 1990 study estimated that it would take until 2060 for India to achieve universal literacy at then-current rate of progress. The 2001 census, however, indicated a 1991-2001 decadal literacy growth of 12.63%, which is the fastest-ever on record" ( inputs as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_India)
There are so many government schools coming up and are there and the taxes we pay is also used here then why this is still happening. We cannot blame poor as the middle class is not able to fill its stomach then how can we expect these poor to send their children to study as they need them in the field too. If we are able to give the poor shelter, medical aid and work, then definitely the poor kids can come and study in the school and we will not be ashamed of illiteracy any more.
About medical facilities, I must say one must visit these hospitals and you will know where we stand. The condition of these hospitals are pathetic.
I hope the taxes are being used sensibly and not just going waste as we waste water and other natural resources.
On one side we talk about super power, millennium cities of India, modern India, common wealth games etc., and on the other side if you see deeply inside India, there are all sad stories. Stories related to crime, misuse of one's powers, religion/state fights, hatred, dirty politics, no education for poor, no medical facilities for poor, no shelter for poor, infrastructure problems and many more.

Is this a joke of the century ? - Court case with trunks of files
Hi Everyone,
when I read the news ( see below )in TOI newspaper, I got shocked. I mean ...this is crazy. I thought to myself... hello where are we?
This is the joke of the century. We talk about 21st century, IT and see India as a super power country in future. It feels great but if you look in deep, you will also say .. hello where are we?
As in my previous blog i was talking about pending court cases, but if you read the below article you would imagine as how many rooms does India need only to keep the related files of a single case.
Cases are increasing day by day as whenever the inflation will rise the crime will definately rise. So what are we going to do. If this is the scene of our courts then think of a case which is supposed to be registered today. It would take atleast 20 years to get solved. If you take this case ( seel below )the man is frustrated to the extent that he would be cursing the court like anything. His shop is sealed and he must have lost thousands and lacs of rupees. So who would be bothered about him. who would be giving him the money he has lost. You, me, the culprits or the court? who's going to set the rules for such things? There is no trust and like this whosoever have trust on the court will also not be trusting it any more.
Is it a joke or realty? How many times the case got transfered and how much tension one has goes through?
I think the leaders are just fighting with each other. Its a game of money and power and nothing else. Government must see these things. Just speaking good for themselves they should face the reality and the reality is " there is no trust and if the trust is there, no one knows when will the case get solved"

New Delhi: Trial courts are reeling under the burden of massive paperwork. So much that recently a court at Tis Hazari complex simply refused to entertain a 26-yearold civil suit transferred to it by the High Court as the courtroom was ‘‘not spacious enough’’ to accommodate 14 trunks full of case files.
Sharad Gupta, who had filed a civil suit against his relatives in 1984, was already frustrated with long dates. But nothing prepared him to face the fact
that now the fate of his case depends on the available space in the courtroom. ‘‘Earlier it was the transfer of the case which was taking time and on repeated occasions, the counsel of the defendants sought adjournments on the pretext of inspecting the case files. Obviously, reading 14 trunks of records will take time. I am tired of delay. I just hope justice is done,’’ said Gupta.
Gupta had approached HC in 1984 and filed the suit against his relatives claiming they had illegally occupied his shop at Chawri Bazar. The case went on in the HC till 2003 while the shop remained shut with police having keys of the property.
Following an amendment in the Delhi High Court Act regarding its jurisdiction in civil cases, the HC on August 22, 2003 transferred the case to a district court. By this time, 14 trunks were required to keep the documents related to this case. Almost a year went by and the case records were finally transferred to the trial court on June 10, 2004.
Last year, additional district judge Sunil Rana, who was hearing the matter, transferred the case to another district judge. When the case came up for hearing in the court of additional district judge Narender Kumar, he realized the courtroom had no space to keep the records and requested authorities to sent the case back.
In a letter sent to the judgein-charge Pratibha Rani, ADJ Kumar requested the transfer of the case back to the court from where it was transferred. He said his courtroom already had ‘‘12 almirahs besides one ahlmad (courtmaster) and seating space for two assistants’’. The remaining space was occupied by furniture, he said, and it would not be possible for the parties to inspect the files in that room for further hearing.
Understanding the problem faced by ADJ Kumar, judge-incharge Rani ordered the case to be ‘‘withdrawn’’ from his court and sent it back to the court of ADJ Sunil Rana who had a ‘‘bigger room’’. However, realizing the case is being delayed due to voluminous records, the court has refused to grant any ‘‘unnecessary adjournments’’ to the parties and asked them to take ‘‘appropriate steps’’ for regular hearings.

Cricket, Tennis Vs other sports
In India, Are we really bothered about our sports personalities who work hard day and night and earn fame for India except cricket or tennis or badminton? No I believe we are not bothered about them. We do not know even the names of players of Indian Male or Female Hockey team or who all are there in Archery, heavy weight or any other sport. If anyone see no commercial use of any sport, then those sports will never come up. This is great.
Why then sports person should get motivated to play for India? Or we still think that India does not have talent. There is lot of talent in India but they are not coming up. And you know why? I hope i do not have to explain this. I can give you hint... Corruption or competition or keeping a person happy.
In india, one can't depend on the sports as a career. It's sad. Parents are after their kid to perform in studies instead of sports ( if the kid is good at it ). You know why? Because parents can not see any future of his kid in sports except for cricket or tennis. Why this thinking is there among all of us? When will things change? Everyone can't be good in studies. But I don't think there is any fault of the parents. The system has made them think like this. If everything would have been systematic and there had been no corruption and if Indian Government would have promoted all the sports then the perception would have been different of the parents.
What do you have to say?

In india, one can't depend on the sports as a career. It's sad. Parents are after their kid to perform in studies instead of sports ( if the kid is good at it ). You know why? Because parents can not see any future of his kid in sports except for cricket or tennis. Why this thinking is there among all of us? When will things change? Everyone can't be good in studies. But I don't think there is any fault of the parents. The system has made them think like this. If everything would have been systematic and there had been no corruption and if Indian Government would have promoted all the sports then the perception would have been different of the parents.
What do you have to say?

Arguments goes on...........
Can you guess what this title means?
Its easy, at least take a minute to think on this.
India can win gunnies world of record for the maximum pending court cases in the court in the world. Its great. Isn't it? Everyday in the t.v. news or newspaper, you would find few cases in which if you read deeply, you will come to know that from how long these cases are going on. The cases which are highlighted by media are put on the fast track such as Jassica Lal, Ruchika, Nithari.... These are just few of them but what about the cases which are not highlighted. Our judiciary system is weak or the people involved such as lawyers, judges etc., are corrupted. Or are they afraid of so called gundas or losing their position? What is it which stops the truth to come out in open? I think money and power. Am I right? People with power and money easily comes out of anything. People become lie rs, cunning, cheaters... to get at least one thing - power or money. I read a case in which a family of three ( mother and two sons )were put behind bars and after ten years they were released as the case was not proved against them. So ten years in the jail and that for the crime which they didn't do it. Ten years or a decade is a long long time and life changes in ten years. Now who will return these ten years to them? Can anyone give them their youth? What about their mental stability? What about their physical health? What about their social circle? what about their career? Is it the government who would be taking care of them? No, no one will do anything? This is just one case.
If we talk about Ruchika's case, isn't it shocking to know that the culprit just got six months jail and Rs.1000/- as fine. If this is the result of fighting for 19 years then we should really appreciate our courts for giving such outputs.
Tell me one thing. Aren't you afraid of police or going to the court? I am and you know why? I do not have trust on them and also i do not have money or power. So what will i do if something happens in which i am not at fault? I hope this never happens though.
As per Hindustan Times - "Over three million cases are pending in India's 21 high courts, and an astounding 26.3 million cases are pending in subordinate courts across the country.
At the same time, there are almost a quarter million under-trials languishing in jails across the country. Of these, some 2,069 have been in jail for more than five years, even as their guilt or innocence is yet to be ascertained."
Now tell me one thing, who is to be blamed for all this? Is it our system, people from whom we expect the true judgement or the leaders we have chosen or we, the public? who is responsible? I have this perception that We the public is so busy with our daily life that we if we really want to do something we cannot do it as we have "no time". Am I right. Then if we can't do anything then what about our leaders? Can we expect anything from them? I have the perception that Many of us will say "they are just there......". Most of the leaders when joins politics are not as rich as they became after one or two years except few such as Gandhi Ji. I haven't read anywhere where they would mention that this leader has become poor after serving the nation. Why? You need to tell me the reason. So who else is to be blamed?
Money is so powerful that even power bows its head in front of it. With money one can buy anything in this world. I believe that if a person has values, then money cannot buy him in any case. no, no, I think I missed something. I forgot about power. This power is also a very strong thing in breaking somone's values as if a person does not bows his head in front of money he will have to or forced to bow his head before power or he or his family will have to suffer. So what is the way to get to the truth?
The only way is that we need to be togother and must force the government by any means such as media to imply strict rules in the judiciary cell also. I know there is no foolproof way to deal with it but something should be done. We must always remember that such incidents can happen with us also.

Corruption - A shortcut or a Virus
Isn't this a very big question? Can anyone of us reply this? Can you deny this? Are you sure you haven't done anything which can be linked to corruption?
I do not think so.
"Corruption" word was always linked to the Politicians or the Government Sectors. I remember when i was 16 years old my father was in such a position where he could easily get big bribe for just a signature. But he was a man of ethics and thus never excepted such offers. I saw him once shouting at one of his collegue as he was trying to push my father do accept the offer so that he would also be benifited. This thing made me proud of my father. Actually there are so many good things which are tought in school but if you see them practically it leaves a deep impact on you. I started respecting him a lot. Before this i use to fight with him and had a rebilious attitude against him offcourse of small reasons. Nothing big.
So, as we were discussing about corruption let me tell you this word "corruption" is a virus which is not only linked to politicians or government sector but also in private sector as well. Also we can't forget its in every house. One person you can easily find in each family. So how this virus grows. There is only one way for it to grow and that is from one person to another. There is no cure but one thing is good about this virus is that it does not infect everyone. The person who does not take care of self, is the most sensitive to this infection. Let me give you an example. A man was driving the car and his family was also sitting with him(son- 14 year and daughter -10 years old) and was also talking to someone on phone. Suddenly the mama(Traffic Police officer) who was hiding behind the tree comes out and asks this man to stop his car. Asks the man to show his licence and once this fellow shows the licence to the officer he keeps the licence with him and takes out the challan book and starts asking his name and tells him to take out Rs. 500/- for using the phone while driving. The man is upset and starts finding a shortcut and then request the officer to please forgive him. But the officer is in no mood to do this and bluntly says no to him. Now the man is not able to find the solution and thus asks him to take Rs.100/- and leaves him. The officer says ok, and tells him to take care from next time and leaves him after taking Rs.100/-. The man once in his car thanks God and feels releaved. Thus you saw how this virus entered in the man and the officer. What do you think? Has the virus only infected the man or the officer or it has also infected the children? I think it has infected all of them. The kids when they will grow up and drive and if cought in the same situation ( like his father ) he will do the same thing.
I agree that our system is corrupted but in this system arn't we included? Should we always give this only excuse to prove ourselves clean? We are the only once who are increasing corruption? Oh i forgot! we have another excuse and that is - we do not have time. We are the most selfish creature on the earth. We want the things to happen and for that we do not want to wait also and wants some shortcut method. We do not have patience. All of us are just living for ourselves. We do not care if the other person is suffering from the mistakes we are making. Officer was happy as he got Rs.100/- and the man was also happy that he gave the money and is out of big challan and court visits. Now tell me suppose if there would have been another man who could not afford even Rs.50/- to give to the officer, he would had to go to the court do get his licence back. Isn't this a trouble for that fellow. As the officer knows that he will get money from these kind of fellows the hunger of money will increase and increase and increase. Now suppose a man who is cought by the officer gives challan money which was Rs. 500/-. What will you call this fellow? Most of us will say he is foolish. Just 1% of us would appriciate him. Isn't this true? If all of us try not to break rules and drive on the road with some discipline then we can easily avoid these challans and the hassles we go through.The children will also stay in discipline and follow these rules and regulations. The accidents will not happen and news channels will not have such breaking news atleast. Most of us have not visited the driving license departments also and have licences. How? You all know this. We give Rs. 1000/- or less and easily we are able to get the licence. For every thing we go through the shortcuts. We do not realise our kids and the people attached to that particular event is learning to cheat.
We as parents wants our kids to have the best education. But are you sure we are giving them the right education? I do not think so. When our children are in schools and when they get projects to do at home i have seen parents who help their children by doing their drawing work or writing work. Telling them and doing their work are two seperate things. offcourse you need to help them by making them understand the project but doing their work should not be done at any cost. So how is this related to corruption. This is an example of brother or sister virus. The project is appriciated by the teachers and the child gets good marks for the same and he is happy. Other children as they have done themselves comes to know that this student has taken help from his parents thus demands the same thing from their parents too as they know that they will also get good marks next time. The child will never tell his teacher that his parents have done half of the work and thus he learns "not to tell the truth". And the other kids learn to get the work done from their parents or anyone else. Thus the virus infects all of them. In every stage of our life we are learning wrong things which leads to corruption virus or brother or sister virus. All these things are inter-related. Why are we doing this? As parents you are teaching them wrong thing unknowingly. Tomorrow definately some of them will cheat public and then we will tell them as parents " we tought you good things in life" without realising that the virus has gone in to your child through you.
I was talking about corruption enterence into the private sector. I am a business women who realised this very late that the corruption virus has very well infected the private sector. I only realised once i started interacting with few administration guys of big corporates who have the power to select venders. I took the right track and started asking for appointments and then meetings and then sending proposals and atlast waiting to get the order. I atleast went to meet 350 corparates and i realised i have only got zero company's order. As per the product, i had taken care of quality and the rate. I was thinking i am not less than others but then why i am not getting work. After few months i realised that the virus has nicely entered in most of the people working in the private sector. But in whom and why. The guys who have the power are the most corrupted. Some are big fish and some are small. Some do it in large scale and some do it in small scale. It depends on their position. Some does - by taking referencial vendor and some do it on comfort level basis. Maximum are expecting bribe in money terms and others want in kind. It all depends on the individual.
Today our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan singh ji was talking about corruption. As the Prime Minister of India he can only asks us to " say no to corruption" and makes some strict rules to curb this. But is there any thing fool proof to curb corruption? Do you think people who are doing it from years will not find another way to do keep corruption alive? Its good that goverment is in the anti-corruption drive but what about us? Will we stop giving bribe to traffic police officer, licence department or infact any department? The anti-corruption drive should start at home first and once we take care and respect the rules and regulation only then we would be a corruption free country. Lets be more concious.

Gays,lesbians, prostitutes, third gender or humans
Hi every one,
Its been more than a month, we are hearing something on gays and lesbians. We are talking about legalizing homosexuality and a part of Section 377 has been modified also. The intercourse is now legalized for homosexuals but why only this? Is this the only requirement of the homosexuals? No i do not think so. They would definitely would like to get married, have kids artificially, may be they will go for sex change and so on and on.
If we are talking about all this then can we answer these questions:
All of us know if an individual female prostitute going ahead with the intercourse with men for the exchange of money, is legal in India. The question is -Have we given them the place in our so called society?
What about third gender? What's that person's fault if God has made the person like this? Have we given them their place in society?
Can we broader our thinking and accept not only homosexuals but others including prostitutes and third gender? Before saying anything can we get answers of the following:
1. Are we sure we are comfortable with this?
2. Would we be comfortable with a prostitute staying near to our house?
3. Would we be comfortable if a third gender staying near our house?
4. Will we be his/her friend?
5. Will we accept them?
6. Will we introduce them to your kids, friends, relatives?
7. The kids who are young and do not understand if their mother or father or his sister or brother or any one related to him/her is homosexual? Is it easy for them to accept it? Is this not going to effect them mentally and emotionally? Arn't we spoiling their lives? Will it not effect them and the people attached to them?
8. Will tomorrow there not be any special clubs, cities, towns for gays and lesbians like we have in US and other countries? If it can be for them then why not for prostitutes and third genders. Let them also be free to have such things.
9. What do we think about male prostitution? Will that not start now?
10. Will there be any thing called Father then? Will Father be man or a woman? Schools would need to modify the word father or use father/gay father/lesbian father/male prostitute father/male third gender father etc.
Are they humans. And if they are like us and off course they are like all of us,then we should accept a gay or a lesbian or a prostitute or a third gender etc., and we must accept them fully and give them place in the society.
I really want all of you to reply as need to understand what all of you feel.
Note: (Please understand that this is just my opinion and questions came up in my mind. I have no intension to hurt someone. Please forgive me if any one got hurt)
