स्वच्छ, स्वस्थ व सकारात्मक नागरिक पत्रकारिता: इस समय की बड़ी आवश्यकता

भारतवर्ष में पुरातन काल से ही तथ्य आधारित सामाजिक संवाद की एक सुनियोजित व्यवस्था रही है। प्रथम पत्रकार माने जाने वाले देवर्षि नारद ने भी समाचार संप्रेषण में नये-नये आयामों को स्थापित करते हुए सामाजिक हितों की अवधारणा का प्रतिपादन किया।

सामाजिक संवाद की ही एक विधा नागरिक पत्रकारिता है, जिससे अभिप्राय पत्रकारिता के एक ऐसे आयाम से है जिसमें सामान्य नागरिक अपने मानस के अनुसार सूचना समाचार का संकलन, विश्लेषण एवं विभिन्न माध्यमों से प्रकाशन एवं प्रसारण में अपनी सक्रियता रखकर एक पत्रकार के रूप में अपनी सशक्त भूमिका निभाता है। जनसामान्य की इस भूमिका का लक्ष्य संपूर्ण समाज को स्वतंत्रतापूर्वक एक विश्वसनीय व तथ्य पूर्ण सूचनाएं उपलब्ध कराना होता है जोकि एक स्वस्थ लोकतंत्र की मांग होती है। नागरिक पत्रकारिता लोकतांत्रिक अभिव्यक्ति का वह मंच है जिसके माध्यम से पत्रकारिता के विभिन्न मूल्यों को दृष्टिगत रखते हुए उपलब्ध संसाधनों का प्रयोग करके किसी भी विषय को अधिकाधिक लोगों तक पहुंचाया जाता है।

चूंकि नागरिक पत्रकारिता एक ऐसी विविधतापूर्ण विधा है जो उन लोगों द्वारा संचालित की जाती है जो व्यावसायिक रूप से पत्रकार नहीं है लेकिन सोशल मीडिया एवं अन्य ब्लॉग पोस्ट इत्यादि के माध्यम से जानकारी देते हैं और इन्हीं विषयों के आधार पर जनमानस परिवर्तित होता है इसलिए आज के वातावरण के अनुसार किस प्रकार के विषय को चुनना यह समझ लेना आवश्यक है। इस विधा के माध्यम से हमारा उद्देश्य ऐसे विचार को बढ़ाना होना चाहिए जो कि देश का विकास करें एवं सभी वर्गों तक पहुंच कर देश को एक सूत्र में पिरोने का प्रयास करें। आज कोरोना के इस विकट संकट के समय हर व्यक्ति कहीं ना कहीं समस्याओं से जूझ रहा है कई परिवार ऐसे हैं जिन्होंने अपने और सपने दोनों को खोया है और इस स्थिति में एक मानसिक बोझ उसके ऊपर हावी है जिसके कारण वह सोशल मीडिया के मंच पर नकारात्मक विचारों को जल्दी पकड़ रहा है एवं उसके प्रसार होने के कारण कई बार सकारात्मक एवं राष्ट्रीय हितों के विचार का प्रसार नहीं होता जो कि अभी की जरूरत है।

लोकतंत्र का चौथा स्तंभ मीडिया आज समाज को किसी भी विषय पर जागरूक करने का अचूक साधन है और उसी के नाते आज उसे समाज का प्रबोधन एक ऐसी दिशा में करना चाहिए जहां पर प्रत्येक व्यक्ति के सामाजिक कार्य का अंतिम उद्देश्य राष्ट्रहित पर केंद्रित हो, आज इस विधा का उपयोग संपूर्ण समाज के विकास में किस प्रकार किया जाए इस पर चिंतन करने एवं तथ्य पूर्ण विचार अधिकाधिक प्रसारित हो इस पर कार्य करने की आवश्यकता है। नागरिक पत्रकारिता समाज के प्रति हमारे कर्तव्यों का निर्वहन है और जनसामान्य की मीडिया में सहभागिता बढे, इसका अवसर भी है। अतः मजबूत लोकतंत्र के निर्माण एवं जनकल्याण को ध्यान में रखते हुये, राष्ट्र विकास के मार्ग पर अग्रसित हो इस हेतु सकारात्मकता के साथ स्व का हित त्याग कर, देशहित में व्यवस्था परिवर्तन की संवाहक बनने वाली वाली नागरिक पत्रकारिता की आवश्यकता है।

Dust if you ‘MUST’: It is our collective duty to fight COVID

While we continued our life after the first wave, with little or no use of masks, the imp (virus) made an even harder comeback, pushing us against the wall. A more virulent form overwhelming our healthcare infrastructure, an apocalypse in making of colossal proportions. What is happening around us is soul crushing. Scenes of bodies burning in overwhelmed crematoriums have become the face of our nation. Complacency among us ignoring all scientific warnings, fear of making wrong decisions, delayed actions and downplaying the threat has created a domino’s effect. The demon has once again caught us with our pants down. Pretty wild.. how we used to eat cake after someone had blown on it, that paradise is lost!! We… have to weather the storm…

Doctors’ duty is to ‘serve’. Whether we are showered with petals from sky, or promised jobs or honoured with badges or ‘national samman’. Be it pandemic or no pandemic, the ministrations of our healthcare frontline workers are unparalleled.There is no Munna Bhai MBBS with “Jadoo Ki Jhappi (magical hug”) or Dr Strange with time stone (one of the infinity stones) to go back in time to set things right. It is sad that, at this point of time, instead of pitching in, we are expending energy in pulling ourselves down. Don’t beat the warring soldier,………the buck does not stop here!

Some countries had scaled up testing and containment measures after detecting new cases or mutants,bringing down fatalities not letting the grass grow under their feet. A dynamic problem needs a dynamic solution and a dynamic personality. When one public servant’s (doctor-turned IAS officer Dr Rajendra Bharud) forethought and strategy could keep an entire community out of this storm(salute), why wasn’t the same done everywhere.? Fickle, sluggish and opaque attitudes has pushed us into an abyss.

However the ship has sailed… Strategic planning, implementation and a strong leadership with forethought at multitude levels of bureaucracy and communities is the order of the day, Yes!! Where can I place the order please? Swiggy…..Zomato or Dunzo…….I am working from home!!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. It is time everybody including communities should look within. Find a strong leader with greater transparency in implementing a public health response. It is time, every house, every street, every community, every city should have contingency plans. There are lessons to be learned ……relearned, look back at our own  nation wide pulse polio immunization. History always has some answers.Paramount action is the need of the hour. Identify our fault lines,take responsibility and focus on solving the problems. Have a strategy in place in communities, devise policies, form systems, use the existing infrastructure and plan to quickly respond to any resurgence including a socio economic fallout. COVID is here to stay. Constant updating with forethought about the future and devising strategies for strengthening the resilience, effectiveness and responsiveness of the communities so as to be prepared for the future will surely be in the game. If this is a race, we are hares napping on the course.

Success of any effort depends on owning up to mistakes, and having science at its heart. Only a thoughtful,  compassionate and transparent leadership can provide this. As rightly quoted by the Iron man of India, Sardar Patel “These people (leaders-bureaucrats) are the instruments. Remove them and I see nothing but a picture of chaos all over the country.” Currently there are too many chiefs, not many “Indians”; too much red tape and not enough get-up and go… there is work that needs to be done…..

Watch out!! The clock is ticking… ‘chal yaar… doctor hai na…sub kuch tekh karengi’……will not work this time………… as the imp(virus) continues its destruction.. ‘Aye Circuit…yeah corona ka kya ilaaj hai?’… ..Samjho………its not what you think….. “Aye Mamu…jadoo ki jhappi de daal aur baat khatam” …will have to wait…..…. so get vaccinated, stay home, stay safe and practice social distancing. Now even more than before, mask up or ‘hush bush’ we alllll.. WILL…….. go down…

News media is instrumental in creating a panic situation in India


The world is helping India and from all over oxygen concentrators are shipped to India. It’s sad to see that even during the Pandemic the people of India – New Delhi under the CM Of AAP Mr. Kejriwal hasn’t been able to control this.

Many have lost their near and dear ones and it’s a heart breaking situation.

People have been blaming the government for the same, but did the people stop partying/marriages? The people of India don’t want to wear mask. Why blame PM MODI and call him a failure? He has done the best and because of PM Modi the world has come forward to give aid to India. There is NO country which hasn’t helped India during this time of pandemic.

Also it’s sad to see the hospitals  n India spending crores of rupees to build multi speciality hospitals all ove India did not have the foresight to have a oxygen and nitrogen plant in their premises. All the so called hospitals have qualified teams on all fronts be it the Infrastructure layout or the day to day operations of the hospital.

How did the hospitals get the permission to be operational without the basic necessity.

Half the population of India is sick Because of the media non stop showing on COVID 19 situation in the country. News Media is also instrumental in creating a panic situation and causing fear and stress.

Lastly instead of media showing COVID 19 news should show how alternate therapy or some sort of entertainment to reduce stress and fear. Get a Panel to heal the people of India. Today india needs positive news not fear.

Religion vs entertainment

Religion vs entertainment

If the question is that, should religion be mixed with entertainment? Then, the answer is that the role of religion in any entertainment show should prevail as long as it doesn’t hurt religious sentiments of any of the community.

Ours is a secular country. Don’t just let it be a word! Inculcate it in yourself. Learn to respect each other’s religion. It’s not about should we take jokes about religion seriously or not because it is not something we do on purpose. If you are a theist and someone is making fun of your religion, then you’ll get offended for sure! Expressing it or not is upto you.

And it is definitely not fine to tolerate derogatory comments and why should one tolerate?

The Only solution regarding the same is to avoid such things which might disrupt harmony of the public. But as public, it is our responsibility to see which things are actually anti-religion and which are not. We shouldn’t make issue of everything we see or hear. It’s not something to exaggerate things about as it will only aggravate the situation.

I will end up here with these lines…..
“You don’t have to hate you religion to be a secular.
You don’t have to hate other religions to prove your love to you own.”

RSS: Perspective with unbiased lenses

RSS: Perspective with unbiased lenses

Every business or organization looks for managers capable of managing task/project to take it to the desired goal with available resources, in time. The ability of a manager is not judged during normal course of work but when he/she faces challenges and critical situations. A great manager with his stable mind and broad outlook manages the situation effectively and makes the project successful. Businesses/organisations have these constant challenges to develop great managers.

Let me bring your attention to a social organization, which is well – known worldwide as “Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh” (RSS). Few ideological and political distractors bash to represent RSS as Hindu fanatics or wing of BJP. Let us put the facts straight sequentially.

Swayamsevaks (Volunteers) are developed through Shakhas, different courses and training programs. They are moulded and inspired to serve society as though every individual is a family member without looking into caste and religion. The Principles of Hindutva or Sanatana Dharma “Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam” and “Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu” is completely soaked into each Swayamsevak and hence you will find lakhs of Swayamsevaks are continuously working during Corona Phase I & II even when everyone else fears for their life. However, Swayamsevaks are not bothered about their life and few even lost their lives. Door to door testing, providing help for vaccination drive, Plasma, oxygen facility, Covid centres, Medical equipment, Blood donation camps, food, awareness camps, counselling, Yoga sessions, phone calls to patients and relatives. Each activity is carried out using the management principles, planning, organising, execution, coordination, communication, directing and controlling. Businesses and various organisations can seek guidance and help from RSS to train their employees through various courses to learn life skills and to bring glory to organisation or business.

Even during natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, Tsunami, Swayamsevaks will jump into action without waiting for anyone’s instruction, reason is belongingness for the society and country. Should we call RSS Swayamsevaks as religious fanatics if they are following the principles of Sanatana Dharma and serving society without any prejudice, rich or poor, black or white, no religious and caste discrimination?

We need to appreciate Swayamsevak’s even though they never do any social work for appreciation. Segment of media, few organisations working at the behest of foreign organisations always show RSS in bad light to create negative perception in the minds of Indians, however to their frustration, RSS is expanding its wings all over the world to serve the society and unite people for the better world. Haters need to introspect and be vigilant about the work RSS and associated organisations have undertaken.

It is accused that RSS works only for Hindutva. When Hindutva or Sanatana Dharma teaches to bring good practices for the welfare of society and nurturing environment without harming any other religion. What is wrong in inculcating ideology that helps everyone to grow as a part of society spiritually and materially and taking care of environment at the same time?

RSS has never forced anyone to get converted into Hinduism. It has never forced a girl from other religion to marry a Hindu boy using wrong tactics. RSS schools are not meant for creating religious extremist by just teaching one religious subject by a religion obsessed teacher. They teach ancient as well as modern education comprising Maths, Science, languages with life changing moral values.

Regarding Ram Mandir issue, Yes, RSS fought for the place where Bhagwan Shri Ram was born. Every religion has faith in their god and has big place of worship across world. Is it not a duty and social responsibility of every individual to respect the sentiments of Hindus based on their faith? Hindus always believe in social and religious harmony. Therefore, RSS did not battle against any religion but for faith of more than 100 crore hindus.

RSS has many sections/departments as per the need to improve on various social and national aspects.
Request to every Indian from any background especially youngsters to be part of RSS and associated wings to grow and learn life skills/management and do something for society, environment and nation as we are indebted to Mother Nature and this great country.

The snapshots you can’t ignore: Take from WB election results for India’s tomorrow

The snapshots you can’t ignore: Take from WB election results for India’s tomorrow
  1. What West Bengal thinks today, India thinks never.
  2. Secular and Marxist Bongs blame Hindu Mahasabha for creation of Islamic East Pakistan. Similarly, they will blame RSS when West Bengal will be Islamized. They don’t see that they are the cause.
  3. Saudi Arabia has incorporated Ramayana and Mahabharata in its school curricula. This must have made Indian Left-Liberal-Islamist cabal confused, clueless and angry.
  4. BJP lost West Bengal election 2021 as Congress and Communist Parties became ‘vote katua’ of non-Muslim votes in the state.
  5. Secularism for Islamists (and by extension all Muslims) is a tactical move.  As per Islam, secularism can’t be their ideology or conviction.
  6. Indian Left-Liberal-Secular cabal eats beef to show solidarity with one minority community. When will they start marrying first cousin to strengthen that solidarity?
  7. Before 2 May 2021 TMC supremo of West Bengal publicly promised to purchase Covid 19 vaccine to launch free vaccination for the people of her state. But now she has gone to Supreme Court demanding free vaccine from Central government.
  8. Pakistan was not created by people of Pakistan. It was created mainly by Muslims of UP, Bihar and Bengal. After truncation of Bengal, Islamism persisted in West Bengal. Then Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana and Tamil Nadu have added with West Bengal. We are square back to 1940.
  9. Secular, Liberal and Islamist journalists of India are behaving like vultures on Covid 19 situation in India. They have intentionally failed to understand that the quantum of Covid 19 problem in India is equal to the sum total of same in whole of Europe, USA, Brazil and Russia. As on date, the number of cases and deaths per million populations in India is far better than all developed countries. But anti-Indians are always anti-Indians.
  10. During recent West Bengal election Bengali Hindus have got a new God named “Vishnu Maata”.
  11. The Muslim Takeover of West Bengal:

अक्षय फलदायक पर्व है अक्षय तृतीया

वैशाख मास में शुक्ल पक्ष की तृतीया तिथि को बसंत ऋतु का समापन होकर ग्रीष्म ऋतु प्रारम्भ  होती है और इसी दिन को हम सनातनी अक्षय तृतीया या आखा तीज कहते हैं। यह दिन अबूझ या सर्वसिद्ध या स्वयंसिद्ध मुहूर्तो में माना गया है, इसलिये  सनातन धर्म में अक्षय तृतीया का दिन बेहद शुभ माना जाता है। इस दिन अबूझ मुहूर्त होने के कारण किसी भी तरह के शुभ कार्य किये जा सकते हैं यानि बिना कोई पंचांग देखे हरप्रकार का शुभ व मांगलिक कार्य जैसे विवाह, गृह-प्रवेश, किसी भी प्रकार के नए काम की शुरुआत से लेकर महत्वपूर्ण चीजों की खरीदारी वगैरह काम भी बिना किसी शंका के किए जाते हैं। यही कारण है  इस दिन किया गया जप, तप, हवन, स्वाध्याय और दान भी अक्षय हो जाता है। जिसका अर्थ है कि इस दिन किया गया आचरण और सत्कर्म अक्षय रहता है। माना तो यहाँ तक जाता है कि इस दिन यदि  हम जाने-अनजाने अपराधों की सच्चे मन से ईश्वर से क्षमा प्रार्थना करें तो भगवान उन अपराधों को क्षमा ही नहीं करते बल्कि सदगुण भी प्रदान कर देते हैं। यही कारण है कि आज भी अपने दुर्गुणों को भगवान के चरणों में हमेशा हमेशा के लिए समर्पित कर उनसे सदगुणों का वरदान माँगने की परंपरा है।

अब आपके ध्यान्नार्थ प्रस्तुत करता हूँ अक्षय तृतीया से जुड़े, अनेकों में से कुछ रोचक पौराणिक घटनाएं जो इतिहास के पन्नों में अपना विशेष स्थान बना चुके हैं-

1] भविष्य पुराण के अनुसार इस तिथि की युगादि तिथियों में गणना होती है यानि सतयुग और त्रेता युग का प्रारम्भ आज ही के दिन हुआ था।
2] अक्षय तृतीया के दिन प्रभु विष्णु के 3 अवतारों की पूजा की जाती है। एक भगवान परशुराम, दूसरा नर नारायण और तीसरा हयग्रीव क्योंकि इन सभी  का जन्म आज ही के दिन हुआ था।
3] एक रोचक तथ्य यह भी जान लें कि प्रभु विष्णु के छठे अवतार भगवान परशुराम उन आठ पौराणिक पात्रों में से एक हैं जिन्हें अमरता का वरदान प्राप्त है और इसी अमरता के चलते ही यह तिथि अक्षय मानी गयी है।
 4] ऐसी मान्यता है कि माता लक्ष्मी और प्रभु श्री विष्णु का विवाह इसी दिन हुआ था।  
5] आज  ही के दिन माँ गंगा का अवतरण धरती पर हुआ था यानि भगीरथ जी तपस्या के बाद गंगा जी को इसी दिन धरती पर लाए थे।
6] ब्रह्मा जी के पुत्र अक्षय कुमार का अवतरण भी आज ही के दिन हुआ था।
7] मान्यता है कि भंडार और रसोई की देवी माता अन्नपूर्णा जिनका दूसरा नाम ‘अन्नदा’ है, का जन्म भी अक्षय तृतीया के दिन हुआ था।
8] आज ही के दिन प्रभु महादेव कुबेर की तपस्या से खुश हो ऐश्वर्य का आशीर्वाद दिया जिससे उन्हें माता लक्ष्मी की प्राप्ति हुई।
9] कुबेरजी ने भी तुरन्त ही माता लक्ष्मीजी की पूजा इसी दिन से ही प्रारम्भ कर दी, कुबेरजी द्वारा प्रारम्भ की गयी इसी  मां लक्ष्मीजी की पूजा की परंपरा के आधार पर ही भारत में अक्षय तृतीया वाले दिन लाल कपड़े में नए बही खाते शुरू किए जाते हैं।
10] द्वापर युग में प्रभु श्रीकृष्ण के परम बाल सखा सुदामा अक्षय तृतीया के दिन ही प्रभु श्रीकृष्ण से मुलाकात कर उपहार में उन्हें बड़े ही संकोच के साथ सूखे चावल भेंट किए थे जिसके चलते उनके भौतिक जीवन का उद्धार हुआ।
11] महर्षि वेदव्यासजी और श्री गणेशजी द्वारा इस शुभ दिन से  ही महाकाव्य महाभारत के लेखन का प्रारंभ हुआ था।  
12] चीरहरण के वक्त द्रौपदी की पुकार पर प्रभु श्रीकृष्ण ने आज ही के दिन उसे चीरहरण से बचा कर उसकी इज्जत की रक्षा करी।
13] अक्षय तृतीया के दिन ही पाण्डव ज्येष्ठ युधिष्ठिर को वरदान स्वरुप वह अक्षय पात्र मिला जिसमें रखी हुई भोजन सामग्रियां तब तक अक्षय रहेंगीं, जब तक द्रौपदी परोसती रहेगी।    
14] अक्षय तृतीया के पावन अवसर पर ही द्वापर युग के साथ  महाभारत युद्ध का भी  समापन  हुआ था 
15] प्रसिद्ध पवित्र तीर्थस्थल श्री बद्री नारायण जी के कपाट भी अक्षय तृतीया वाली तिथि से ही दर्शनार्थ खोले जाते हैं। 
16] साल में एक ही बार अक्षय तृतीया के पावन अवसर पर वृंदावन के श्रीबांकेबिहारी जी मंदिर में भक्तों को श्री विग्रह चरण के दर्शन होते हैं अन्यथा बाकी दिनों में पूरे साल चरण वस्त्रों से ढके रहते हैं।
17] बसन्त पंचमी से प्रारम्भ हुए लकड़ी के चयन पश्चात अक्षय तृतीया वाले दिन से ही  जगन्नाथ पूरी में आयोजित होने वाली रथयात्रा  की तैयारी बलराम, सुभद्रा और श्रीकृष्‍ण के रथों के न‍िर्माण के साथ आरम्भ होती है।   
18] अक्षय तृतीया जैन धर्मावलम्बियों के महान धार्मिक पर्वों में से एक है। इस दिन जैन धर्म के प्रथम तीर्थंकर श्री ऋषभदेव भगवान, जिन्हें भगवान आदिनाथ भी कहा जाता है, ने एक वर्ष की पूर्ण तपस्या करने के पश्चात इक्षु (शोरडी-गन्ने) रस से पारायण किया था। इसी कारण से जैन धर्म में इस दिन को अक्षय तृतीया के साथ साथ इक्षु तृतीया भी कहते हैं। इसलिये अक्षय तृतीया कहिये या इक्षु तृतीया वाला यह दिन भगवान आदिनाथ, जैनों के पहले भगवान की स्मृति में मनाया जाता है।

लेकिन इस बार बीकानेरवासी कोरोना महामारी के प्रकोप के चलते अपने नगर का 534वाँ स्थापना दिवस, बीते साल के माफिक  सरकार द्वारा जारी लॉकडाउन के नियमों  के तहत अपने अपने घरों में ही मना रहे हैं। इसलिये स्थापित परम्परा को निभाते हूये मटकी का पूूूजन कर, सर्वेषां मंगलं भूयात् सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः। सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद् दुःख भागभवेत्।। [– ग. पु. अ. 35.51] के सिद्धान्त अनुसार जहाँ घर, परिवार, कुटुम्ब, बिरादरी, शहर, प्रदेश, भारत देश व विश्व की खुशहाली की प्रार्थना की जा रही है, वहीं खीचड़े, इमलाणी वगैरह का ठाकुरजी को अरोगा कर प्रसाद लिया जायेगा।

Pak FM under huge pressure back offs from his “India’s Internal matters” remark

Under huge pressure from opposition parties and radical Islamist group, Pak FM takes a sharp U-turn from his recent statement on Kashmir issue.

Few days back while giving an interview, when asked about Article 370 and 35A topic FM responded that “This is a internal matter of India. There is also a case pending in Indian Supreme court related to this issue”.

But as soon as this was telecasted not only Pak FM but also whole of Imran Khan govt receives lashes from their people and opposition.

In order to counter this Qureshi tweeted “Let me be clear: Jammu & Kashmir is an internationally recognised dispute on the @UN Security Council agenda. Final settlement of the dispute lies in #UNSC resolution calling for free and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices,” the foreign minister said in a tweet.

There are also strong rumors that Pakistan is trying too hard to settle all the issue with India including Kashmir issue because of its financial situation. Pak is in urgent need of loan to lift up their economy. There are also chance of backstage talks going on between Ind-Pak and this can be the reason for the changed stance of Pak minister on Kashmir issue.

Rape: Crime or culture?

“Rape” today this is the most common and east to do crime. After 73 years of Independence we are failed to instill fear in criminal’s mind. As per NCRB 2019 report India is facing “every 16 minutes, a woman is raped somewhere in India, and every four minutes woman experiences cruelty at the hands of her in-laws”. In 2019, the country had recorded 88 rape cases every day.

Rape is one of the most horrible crime and stigma on society. From pre to post independence of “Bharat” cruelty against women never stops. Even till now this is the most challenging situation for Indian Government to stop this heinous crime. Question arises that why we this is still a big failure for us. Many debates goes on from past till now but answers and solution is still zero. Crime against Nirbhaya boils everyone’s blood. That’s actually not crime, it is beyond crime. Many rallies and protest goes on and she got justice after 7 years in which one of the 17 year old minor criminal name Mohmmad Afroz got bail. Days past and rape still goes on with time non-stop. In the recent case of Balrampur Uttar Pradesh where a minor college girl is gang raped. Now, the progress is rape are done in gangs more. Even there are many cases come after Nirbhaya rape case where baby girl child is raped by their family members or by her father. Culture is something that we practice in our day to day life in various forms but crime is born with different scenarios. Looking at the records the question arises is doing rape a part of culture or it is a crime.

If we look at the graph of Nation capital Delhi the situation is worst. As per news source Nation capital experienced rape in every five hours. NCRB report states that Rajasthan have the highest number of rape cases. Uttar pradesh comes after Rajasthan having 3000 cases in a year. These are the situation which raises same question is doing rape is a symbol of pride. Is this is the cultural part. If it is a crime than why are constitution failed to stop this horrendous crime. As per our Indian Constitution Rape Punishments are different for various types of rapes in which minimum imprisonment of 7 years or may be extended to 10 years. After the Anti Rape Bill of April 2013, culprits are liable to life imprisonment (which is actually 14 years), imprisonment for entire life and even the death sentence in the rarest of rare cases. Further, in April 2018, it allows Capital Punishment for anyone convicted of raping children under the age of 12.Here we look about punishment across globe which are as follows:

1. China: China has the law of punishing the rapist straight away with a death sentence. In some scenarios, rapists are also punished by the mutilation of their genitals.

2. Iran: In Iran, it is said that a rapist is either hanged or shot to death in public. Sometimes, the guilty escape the death penalty by the permission from the victim but is still liable for 100 lashes or life imprisonment.

3. Netherlands: Any kind of sexual assault, even including a kiss without the consent is considered a rape in Netherlands. The rapist is punished with imprisonment ranging from 4 to 15 years depending on the age of convict.Even a sexual assault on a prostitute will lead to an imprisonment of 4 years in Netherlands.

4. France: In France, the rapist is punished with 15 years of jail time with torture which can be extended to 30 years or a life imprisonment depending upon the extent of damage caused to the victim.

5. Aghanistan: Justice is given to the victim in Afghanistan in just four days by shooting the rapist in the head.

6. North Korea: North Korea has no leniency for the crime, like rape. Instant justice is given to the rape victim by shooting the rapist in the head by a squad.

7. Russia: In Russia, the convict has to serve a term of imprisonment for over 3 years, which can go up to 30 years depending on the harm done to the victim.

8. Saudi Arabia: If a person is convicted of rape in Saudi Arabia, then he is executed in public within days of the trial.

9. UAE: In UAE, the punishment of sexual assault or rape is death by hanging. There is no compensation, if you commit rape, you die within 7 days.

10. Greece: In Greece, if the convict of the crime is found guilty of rape, he is punished with incarceration.

11. Egypt: In Egypt, the rapist is hanged at public places so that people may become aware of the consequence of this heinous crime.

12. USA: The USA has two kinds of law – state law and federal law. If a rape case falls under the category of federal law, then the rapist can be fined or awarded life imprisonment. Though state laws of rape punishments differ from state to state.

13. Norway: In Norway, the rapist is punished with the detainment of 4 to 15 years, depending upon the degree of damage to the victim.

14. Pakistan: Gang rape, child molestation and rape are punishable by death. An assault on a woman and intentional display of her body in public view is punishable by death in Pakistan. Statutory rape by a man of a girl under sixteen, especially a gang rape, is punishable by death.

15. Japan: Twenty years for the crime of rape. If it is rape or fatal rape at the scene of any other crime like robbery, then death penalty.

Now if we look rape graph across the globe here is 10 countries recorded highest rape case:

1. South Affrica: South Affrica has the highest rape case 132.4.66,196 incidents in per 100,000 people.

2. Botswana: Botswana is the second with a rate of rape – 92.90 and 1,865 incidents in per 100,000 people

3. Lesotho: Lesotho has 82.70 rape rate and around 1,777 incidents in per 100,000 people.

4. Swaziland: Swaziland recorded 849 incidents in per 100,000 people with 77.50 rape rate .

5. Bermuda: is the fifth country with 67.30 rate of rape and 43 incidents in per 100,000 people.

6. Sweden: Sweden has 63.50 rape rate and around 5,960 incidents in per 100,000 people, according to World Population Review data.

7. Suriname: Suriname recorded 223 incidents in per 100,000 people with 45.20 rate of rape.

10. Grenada: Grenada with 30.60 rate of rape, has 32 incidents in per 100,000 people.

Rape is such a heinous and horrendous crime that no definition would justify it. It is above the mindset,above the physical cover, above anything.Looking for current situation of India should take strong amendment in rape punishment that should be more horrendous and bizarre. The amendment should be as follows:

If a criminal found to be guilty in rape then their private part should be chopped off. If it is a gang rape then all the criminals any body part should be chopped off. If a criminal found to be guilty in raping minor then their body should be burned with boiled water. Also if rape is done by a minor boy than he should be in jail for 30 years with no facilities. On the other side, if the rape case is false and it is found that a female did this intentionally to take revenge then the female should pay a huge punishment amount or their should be lifetime imprisonment depending upon the seriousness of the case. The rape cases should be solve within one month with a team of male and female officers in the ratio of 4:3. It is a brutal and cruel crime so that need to be stop with a strong law. We should not make it a culture it should remain a crime.

We cannot make it a daily practice it should be stopped and women’s should feel safe in her country. We are bound to this responsibility as we did female worship with pride.

The division among Sanatani Hindus today

Bengal has been burning since May 2nd 2021. After TMC supremo Ms. Mamata Bannerjee was sworn in as Chief Minister of West Bengal, the state in India has been burning. Countless homes has been torched by her supporters, innocent women and young girls have been molested, gang raped and murdered, opposition supporters have been hounded out of their homes by her supporters, and armed jehadi goons, who form a part and parcel of her support base has been roaming villages and small town in Bengal in large groups, armed with melee weapons, baying for the blood of ordinary folks who voted for the opposition. Independent India over the last 70 years hasn’t seen this kind of violence in an election. It reminds people of our forgotten history. Of India under Mughal rule. Of India under British rule which saw the abomination of Direct Action Day when innocent Hindu Citizenry where butchered and raped by roving Jihadi gangs on the streets of Kolkata and Noakhali (currently part of Bangladesh). Barely anyone knows of the continuous genocide of Hindus in their own country for over a 1000 years. But to see this repeated in this age and time is an eye opener for the current populace.

The current Hindus haven’t gone through ‘on the face’ genocidal attacks by desert cults in their living memory, except sporadic incidences in the last century. Hence many young Hindus are justifiably angry that this is happening in the only Hindu majority country in the world with a supposedly Hindu favoring dispensation in power at the Centre. The angry outbursts are finding place in social media, as the mostly left controlled mainstream media maintains a stoic silence on the genocide happening in their own backyard. As it doesn’t conform to their oft repeated narrative that all parties apart from BJP are secular in nature and it’s only BJP which is against maintaining the harmony of the nation. Now, they don’t want to accept that the fabric of the nation state is under threat, and to voice the reality will be to go against their political masters, whose only agenda is to loot the country and sell it to the highest bidder.

However it makes me sad to see the Hindus getting divided and fighting against each other and unwittingly fall victim to the overall sinister agenda to divide Hindus and break up the nation. Some are against Modiji for his apparent inaction in West Bengal against the mass Hindu Genocide happening in West Bengal today, and other die hard BJP fans trolling the former because of the same reason. Incidentally both groups of Bhakts are part of my social media friends, and therefore I have a ring side view of what is happening in the virtual world. In my opinion, majority of us Sanatani Hindus, tend to be overly emotional and unfortunately lack social maturity to give a studied response.

Modi ji is a political leader, albeit the best we have had since independence. He has done great deeds for Indians irrespective of caste, creed or religion, including removal of Article 370, solving the impossible situation in Kashmir, initiated clean India movement, initiated self dependency in production / atmanirbhar, removal regressive acts like triple talaq for women and liberating them from religious tyranny forever, institutionalized DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) which is a game changer for the poor, rural folks and farmers, etc. However he still remains the Prime Minister of the country, and no. 1 representative of not only Hindus but of all Indians. Therefore people do have a right to question him when there is a genuine cause to question (not the hate campaign questions continuously bombarded by the left and Sickular brigade done daily on vested interest).

Common Hindus are raising questions because either they are directly affected by what is happening in Bengal today in the unprecedented post poll violence unleashed on the poor hapless and marginalized Hindus, or indirectly affected because they feel themselves akin to the sufferers on realizing that the Bengali reality will be their own reality in the near future. They don’t want to break India like the anti national bunch of traitors. They are aggrieved and have genuine questions to the Government of India. But yes, it should be raised with decency and logic and not just an emotional outburst. But questioning isn’t hate is something the ill-informed trollers needs to understand.

Remember ‘tarka’ / debate has always been core to Sanatana Dharma. That’s how our faith has evolved over centuries. Hinduism isn’t an Abrahaminic religion where people are expected to be dumb and not question what is told to them, where questioning can mean even a death sentence. Sanatan Dharma is of scientific temperament. Like in any scientific field, every hypothesis can and has to be questioned till it’s proven true. Similarly our Dharma has been distilled over centuries to bring the amrit (purified nectar) of Hindutva to us today.

I will therefore question my PM. and I will remain a Modi Bhakt as well. Because bhakti doesn’t teaches me to be blind, it empowers me to question and strengthen my beliefs.
Jai Bhavani, Jai Shri Ram, Har Har Mahadev.

In West Bengal, freedom of expression and freedom of suppression are the exclusive fundamental rights of TMC workers and supposrters only
