Over the past couple of months, many women all over Bharat have been slayed and left abandoned to die, mostly by their love interests certainly most callously. The state of the country is under a constant flux with some children scoring gold at world level chess tournaments, while still others reeling under the soaring rates of sordid crime and punishment. These are women like you and me- they are everywhere but so are their predators and hunters and abusers most tragically.
Just yesterday, a 27 year old girl got acid thrown on her after she abandoned her husband’s home- she is now recovering in hospital fortunately.
Mahalaxmi Das died after her lover Mukti Ranjan Ray strangled her to death and chopped her into 59 pieces, stuffing them into his fridge to bury 2 months later! Her only mistake was that she wanted to be married to him but her lover didn’t reciprocate her feelings. This incident occurred in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra, a state that has Mumbai as its financial capital ironically.
Priti Keluskar, a 35 year old lab technician died after her ex-husband Sushant Govekar set her on fire after dousing her in petrol most savagely. Priti and Sushant got divorced within a year of their marriage but she moved on after their divorce and remarried for a 2nd time rejecting him resolutely.
Anna Sebastian Perayil, a 31 year old Kerala native, committed suicide, killing herself after what her family called several years of over-working and over-achieving constantly.
Somewhere in Pune, a 23 year old deranged electrician killed and murdered an 85 year old lady after raping her ruthlessly.
These are simply a few of the most severe cases that appear to be just the tip of the iceberg of crime and punishment over the feminine feminists of our unchanging and unfortunate country. Today an article in the TOI blew the lid off several prostitution rackets running inside luxury buses traversing all over the Southern states of the country. The most unnerving fact is that the police force out of Bangalore and Chennai refuse to take timely action to stop all this most ruinously. Crimes like these are a worrisome challenge to the working, effective and moral remaining police officers, no matter how small their number may be.
These incidents seem to be perpetrated by all those conformists who want to keep proving that our old traditions and belief systems are still relevant and also by our most rotten and misogynist citizens who don’t cease to reinforce their old standards of living without evolving or leaving or disassociating with the past in matters that are of prime importance globally. I try to grapple with this deathly despair endlessly through my books on religion and philosophy. It is only making me numb, heavy hearted and listless, because these incidents keep occurring despite the thumping victory of a primarily responsible and accountable majoritarian conservative political party.
It appears that the failed leftist losers left behind in the electoral race just can’t and won’t accept that they are never going to make it as big as the ruling party and its ministers nationally. When will things change, is there a solution, well, people seeking change need to know that they need other people and teams of likeminded literate feminists to unite to solve this festering wound of collective misogyny. The darker the force of eternal energy, the greater the Asuric element found in and around the world tragically.
