Gudia, a Muslim girl and Shri Ramdev ji, a Hindu male !!
Gudia, a Muslim girl and Ramdev ji, a Hindu male !!
Do you know Gudia ? Or do you need an "aid to memory" ? Gudia is a Muslim girl who died this new years eve. As we sat watching Pranoy Roy hand over the "Best Indian" award to Sonia, the same Sonia who's very India citizenship was being questioned by Subramania Swamy, as we sat watching fireworks from Japan to Park avenue and Bihar on advertisements instead of crime alert, Gudia died. Gudia died of multiple organ failure at an Army hospital. Her second kid had died some time ago and she went away too.
So what's so special about Gudia and why are we worried about her ? Don't so many die every day ?
Gudia was married to Arif, a soldier in the Indian Army. Within a fortnight of their marriage Arif was sent away to fight at Kargil. Arif did not return for a long time and was considered dead. So Gudia re married, she married Toufeeq, her marriage was supported by the familie(s) and she was about to have a baby from the second marriage and continue her life. However she had more misery to face. Arif (her first husband) came back from Pakistan in late 2004, released from a Paki prison, thanks to the India - Pak, bon homie. The religious clergy decreed that Gudia should return to her first husband. Forgetting whatever Gudia felt, forgeting her physical sterength, Gudia was to return to her first husband. Though Gudia wanted to be with her second husband, her second marriage to Toufeeq was illegal under Shariat.
To quote from Rediff :
According to the Shariat, a Muslim woman cannot marry another man as long as her husband is alive and has not divorced her. In the case of the husband disappearing, the woman needs to wait for four years and then ask for a decree from the local qazi (religious head and expert on Shariat) nullifying her marriage.
Gudiya had not nullified her previous marriage before marrying Taufeeq. So the experts said her second marriage was illegal and the child born to her and Taufeeq would be termed illegitimate.
As the debate heated up in the media, Gudiya became nervous. She had to be admitted to hospital for a few days owing to high fever. At that point she told reporters that she had left the past behind and only loved Taufeeq now. "I am not a cow or a buffalo that I can be sent away just like that," she had remarked. (end quote)
The entire pro wife NGO Industry has left this incident un noticed. None seemed to care. Neither Brinda Karat, nor Teesta Setalvad, nor Arundhathi Roy and her bleeding heart comrades who beeld for Iraqi children, Kosovo's babies and collateral damage all over the globe worried about this poor Indian. Nor the National Commission of Women, nor Girija Vyas, nor the umpteen Indian NGOs ready to lynch everyone from Narendra Modi to Amitab Bachchan were there helping Gudia. Gudia the poor mulim girl and her misery didn't seem to generate enough bandwidth for NGOs. But for some lip service, by a few and a couple of press releases Gudia seems to have fallen from public memory and returned back to her first husband. Gudia was pregnent again. If some wirters are to be believed it was this second pregnancy, its premature delivery and the shock she faced, that were responsible for Gudia's death. While I have respect for all religions, I feel, In India, a muslim woman has no voice of her own. She follows the dictates of the elders or the so called society around her. She hardly gets any supports from the bleeding heart femenists as that's a taboo area.. The NGOs don't touch muslim personal law. Even the muslim women rape cases are forgotten now !. They get less mileage than the phone tape scandal or top ten song lists. Every extra Marital sex, studies on Pre Marital sex, % of college girls having sex, very young adolosecents who have experienced sex... every type of pervert action hogs the headlines. Gays and their rights seem eschwed issues. Gudia, was left in lurch.
Now Ramdev. Look at the way Ramdev has been ferociously attacked and plastered all over. Sadly, he gets more negative coverage than many a henious criminal.
Ramdev seems to be from the other unfortunate half i.e. Hindu Male of this country
Just as muslim women are being tossed about by the powerful, so are Hindu men tossed about.
Be it Kanchi Shakaracharya or Ramdev, or Narayan Murthy they are symbols of hope and achievement in their respective spheres.
They are symbols of faith and were Ikons of Hinduism. These very men are under attack today. The jury is still out on this animal matter, human matter stuff. Let me clarify : I haven't had ramdev's medicines nor do I know for sure if the samples came from his pharmacy. I learnt that one of the premier labs in our country from Hyderabad said Ramdev's medicines did NOT contain animal material. Other labs say that animal matter was found. Lallu says its ok even if the medicines had animal matter. The Health minister said a little of this and a little of that. The health minister "..Admitted that it was the first time that the samples provided by an individual had been tested by the government, he said the government took action on Karat's request as she is an member of Parliament. ..."
So why target Ramdev ?
What started as a labour dispute in one of his labs where excess workers were retrenched, has boomeranged into this. The letf has hit two birds with one stone. Hit the owner Ramdev and also hit the Hindu Ikon ramdev.
Think of the psychological effect this has. What goes through your thought when you buy Ramdev's medicines the next time ? What thoughts surface when you wish to contribute Rs. 10 to Kanchi Shankar Mutt next time ? What will cross the common man's mind ?
IMHO, Ramdev, Kanchi Acharya, Narayan Murthy and countless other mere mortals are from the real weaker sex.
The weaker sex called "Hindu male" !!
Ramdev and Kanchi Acharya were visible Hindu males at that. So they get hit hardest. The femenists and leftists want us to believe that, if you are a Hindu Male, you should live and walk like a slave. Some sort of accepted slavery, pseudo slavery, dhimmitude. Else you are bound to be a target. Your wife may file a false dowry case, your wife may file a false harassment case, people can charge you with rape, fleecing millions, adultery, whatever.
More are bound to be hit. Narendra Modi gets hit more often then Parvez Mussaraf. Kanchi Acharya would get more hit than any other religious head. The next target could be a baba, a business man or some common man. You can take your pick. Just as we have top 10 Indians, we could poll for the "..next male victim.."
One thing is sure. There are bound to be more than 10 names and... you will see other Hindu Males joining the attack (sic)

Nice blog... every religion needs to be dynamic in nature...
Are you seriously trying to say that Hindu men are as victimized as Muslim women??
Ramdev is not being attacked for being a Hindu male, he is being attacked for allegedly not following labour laws and making bad medicines.
As for Gudia and the supposed silence on NGO's, thats simply not true. Just check google.

I can't imagine why Medha Patkar would comment on it. She is not a freelance NGO worker she works on dams.
I enjoy provocative writing but I would wish you stick to facts.

The level of persecuation many not be the same as yet but a pattern can be made out. Yes I beleive and it is true that Hindu men are targets of verbal and legal attack these days
Ramdev is not being attacked for being a Hindu male, he is being attacked for allegedly not following labour laws and making bad medicines.
Ramdev for sacking his employees, Narayan Murthy for his statements, Kanchi mutt for something else... the list goes on. The underlying fact is that people easily attack a Hindu male for it is almost as easy as following a fad. No thought is spared, no caution need be exercised before attackng an Hindu Male

some lip service is ALWAYS MADE
But look at the ferocity with which Ramdev is attacked. Look at the myriad press conferences. Look at the force with which a Labour dispute is becomming a smear campaign...
I can't imagine why Medha Patkar would comment on it. She is not a freelance NGO worker she works on dams.
I didn't remember mentioning Medha P
I enjoy provocative writing but I would wish you stick to facts.
I have ... maybe you haven't noticed the pattern

If we stick to facts, then there are simply two questions here
1) Did Ramdev illegally retrench workers. He violated a tripartite agreetment and labour laws. Its not a made up thing.
2) Are his products conforming to basic consumer laws. That has to be established pending enquiry.
Perhaps, the reason a seemingly disproportionate hindu men are hauled up in public is because statistically they are the largest group in the country and also the best represented in positions of power, wealth and authority which is usually required for some sort of wrongdoing.
By your logic I could argue that Laloo Prasad Yadav is unfairly targetted for being a Hindu male. :)
Peace
Incidentaly Vinayak Bhai you might want to take a look at this
http://indiatogether.org/2004/mar/law-sect498a.htm
Red ; If we stick to facts, then there are simply two questions here
1) Red : Did Ramdev illegally retrench workers. He violated a
tripartite agreement and labor laws. Its not a made up thing.
Answer : The legality or illegality of this has to be dealt with in court or a labor court. You cannot malign a man his name and products with your own samples, because of another case. Two wrongs don't make a right (even IF we FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT agree that there MIGHT BE SOME RETRENCHING that may be illegal) So your logic is IN THE OPEN now. It's clear Feminist, CPM tactics. Bullying plain and simple...
2)Red : Are his products conforming to basic consumer laws. That has
to be established pending inquiry.
Answer : This again is left to his consumers and the relevant authorities.
Answer : Are all products coming out of West Bengal the bastion of communism or Soviet Russia the mother load of Commies conforming to standards ?? why are we jumping from one Issie - the so called retrenchment to another issue, what should or should NOT be in ayurvedic products ?
Red : Perhaps, the reason a seemingly disproportionate Hindu men are
hauled up in public is because statistically they are the
largest group in the country and also the best represented in
positions of power, wealth and authority which is usually
required for some sort of wrongdoing.
Answer : Statistics does not mean people get hauled up ! In Many parts of Uttar Pradesh, Muslims are the majority. They still don't get hauled up. In Delhi Muslims are a majority in many parts. Still what happens to the arrest orders on the top Imam ? So this is clear case of the CPM wagging the dog - rather hitting the weak ...
Red : By your logic I could argue that Laloo Prasad Yadav is unfairly
targeted for being a Hindu male. :)
Answer : People like Lallu are Hindus for name sake. So is Mani Shankar Iyer and co who have a convenient Iyer tag while they are far from being practicing Iyers. when I said Hindu, I mean hindu Ikons and those who are identified as Hindus

"Ramdev for sacking his employees, Narayan Murthy for his statements, Kanchi mutt for something else... the list goes on.

Vinayak, I agree with you. Hindu man or woman for that matter is a soft target. In UK also, Muslims did 7/7 but backlash (hate attacks) are faced much more by Hindus (who look darker than Paki Muslims...thats how one can identity them) rather than Muslims....even the Whites know that Hindus wont bomb us or resort to some or the other rowdyism, if we attack them...so they and their religion is fair game !
Next, see how issues concerning Hindus are made a BIG deal (for small and/ or YET UNPROVEN things like the accusations on Ramdev or Jayendra Saraswati). While I remember, around the same time as the Kanchi acharya another issue came up (much more serious...national security) when a Muslim religious leader in Hyderabad was wanted for questioning (or wanted for terrorism related crimes, I am not sure) @ terrorist related stuff, when a lot of protests and morchas were held by the Hyd Muslims. I think finally that guy was not taken into custody at all...correct me if I am wrong.
Where was Karat and gang then ? Or any of the so-called liberal Muslims like Javed Akhtar & Azmi ?
These people are just following the Colonial method of behavior...hit the weak, kiss the strong, hide the bad done by Muslims, hound Hindus--even for a small wrong...proven or unproven (the fact that they decide it is wrong, is for them a proof of a Hindu's guilt !)
India is independent since 1947. But mentally many are still Colonial slaves. Hindus being the worst...because of the double whammy...first Mughals then British. It is heartning to see now we are getting our bearings together...good to see blogs like yours...I also write about such stuff...any injustice for that matter, which bothers me.Came here after reading your comment on my blog.
You are out and out confused. If one does a wrong thing, he has to be punished -- it is useless to know his religion.
Read my blog Ramdev Controversy and know what is what.
Hi Generic Superhero !
I never said that wrongs should not be punished
Nor do we know for sure at this stage if in fact Shri Ramdev is wrong
In the balance of things this yogi has done immense good to ailing patients by his yoga and ayurvedic therapies
Now all that is being trashed by Brinda and company quite possibly because of a different agenda
Do they have the guts to do this to non Hindus ?
Have they attacked non Hindu with such ferocity ? ever ?
So I see this as a pattern
As I have already mentioned in my blog, the jury is out on the Ramdev case and he should not be lampooned in public by the Left and left centered media

Hi Susan
Thanks for visiting and commenting
Your points were worth noting

Vinayak
Vinayak - Guidya's story is really shocking. hmmm very sad.
I am still digging on Ramdev's story.
Yes. These sad stories of commen men and women are stranger than fiction....
But what do the feminist leaders care ?
vinayak
... and dubukku,
I'd like your viewpoints on Ramdev's story, after your gained insights
Thanks
vinayak
Aapkee baat mein dum hai Vinayak bhai...too misplaced priorities. Gudia Gudia.....and now the child even he is the centre of media attention...jeene hi nahin denge....ek baar kisi ki jaan ke peechhe pad gaye to bas.....
indscribe bhai
humko jeene nahi dheenge yeh lOg !! and not the other way around
by the way, indscribe bhai why don't to you tell me little more about this bachcha !! poor kid
Vinayak
Hi Vinayak - you've brought out a glaring point in the Indian scene today.
But I'm afraid that very less people will agree with you. But that's not reason enough for us to keep shut.
A CLARIFICATION-
I said, If one does a wrong thing, he has to be punished -- it is useless to know his religion.
You said, I never said that wrongs should not be punished.... Nor do we know for sure at this stage if in fact Shri Ramdev is wrong
Well I was referring to Kanchi Sankaracharya (whom u have mentioned in ur post)who did a wrong thing (police says so, not me) and MUST be punished. And I fully admit that we dont know for sure at this stage if in fact Shri Ramdev is wrong.
NOW BACK TO THE MAIN DISCUSSION...
If I am to be convinced by your idea, then I should think there should be a 'Hindu Male Protection Act' which will
1. forbid any kind of statement in public against any Hindu male.
2. the police will cease to have powers to arrest any hindu male.... so the police ll no longer be able to arrest Kanchi Sankaracharya
3. even the judiciary won't have the right to say anything against a Hindu male since the Supreme Court has criticised
Narendra Modi (whom u hav mentioned in this post) more than once
...of course the law should not be applicable to all Hindus like Iyer (since u dont consider him to be a Hindu) but to the ones like Modi, Advani and others like them (whom u consider to be the true hindus)
In India Hindus are soft target, no one is worried if an hindu is attached, when Kanchi Seer was arrested, it was welcomed in Tamil Nadu assembly with huge round of applause by all the party men, which is very rare in indian politics.
Do you think the same would have happened if police had arrested an muslim religious leader, entire country would have been on fire,
All these so called secular party would have support saying minorty community is being targeted.
Its very easy to target an Hindu in India
Hinduism is in danger and day by day going down in population. Our own hindu bastards like Nangaa Chatterji(CIIS Berkely), Ravan Puniyani, A-rund-hati Roy, Rangila Thappad, Pat-war-dhan are anti-hindu and creating bombs with pens in media and throwing on Hinduism. What has made them to be pseudo-secular ? Ar ethey really born to illegitimates.
If you look at indina muslims, who are fighting hindus are from the families of bastards to born by rapes and assult on hindus by barbarians. Their blood is flowing in a direction of anti-hindu trance.
After all what a human being can achieve by demeaning Hinduism and its great spirituality. Soem of the organizations(BD, VHP, RSS) which are always accused are just vice makers and so far have they planted any bomb, killed people, slmmed planes into towers. Look around the world terrorism, all by peace loving ISLAM.
There is a huge list which goes pages and these people are working and sympathising muslim terrorist and Jihad organizations. These people are called scholars, think tanks by westerners, as they sympethise christian missionaries and get funds for all expenses from condoms to mc pads. The day will come, these people will be in Guntanamo bay with stinking people
Brinda Karat is an anti-hindu, anti-india bitch. She is a leftist comrade deserves a ass chop
I myself benefited from the great teachings of Babaji
Sleeping Hindus wake !!! and fight these anti-social, anti-hindu and anti-indians
