Shocking and Shameful, Indeed
The unearthing of 34 rapes at a Bihar shelter home for girls is a shocking and shameful incident in the country which is ruled by a government that has been running the campaign Beti Bachao – Save the Girl Child. The prime accused Brajesh Thakur known for getting support from top politicians of the state is the man behind this heinous act. Ironically when he was arrested and escorted by the police, he seemed smiling shamelessly that has wrecked havoc over the social media as we see people castigating his audacity and shamelessness before the media.
The charge sheet, which has statements of 32 victims, mentioned there were 67 types of drugs that were recovered from the shelter home along with syringes. There were epilepsy injections also found in the shelter home which was used to drug the girls and then rape them. When people with filthy minds get infinite power, they do not just misuse but abuse it, and this is the classic case of affluent people exploiting the poor and underprivileged section of the society under the garb of so-called human work like shelter homes. Is this the new India we want to see under the current government rule that promised Acche Din?

Shun Communal Politics
The BJP and the Congress party, or for that matter any other political party leaders should shun communal politics for the safety and safeguard of people’s lives. Since they are public servants elected to the people, by the people and for the people, they should work as their “representatives” to solve their basic needs and other problems while ensuring to protect their lives and properties. They should focus more on development of the States by sincere hard work with enthusiasm and zeal to benefit the people irrespective of caste and creed. It is a big shame on the part our greedy politicians that they are playing dirty politics on hateful communal lines by dividing the people to make them their vote bank just to grab the power to rule the country by hook and by crook.

Social Democracy
I have never met Vice-President, even though I am a graduate of AMU, but thoroughly enjoyed reading the commentary you have presented in your report, particularly what he says in paragraph 4. I read Samachar.Com every day, sometimes twice and I am disturbed to say much about what is going on in India today that had never happened while I was there until 1960. A person buys a couple of cows, because he sells milk, butter, etc., and while he is going back to his village he is surrounded by hoodlums who kill him because they assume he is going to kill these cows.
The family of the one who has lost life must be compensated by the Govt. for its failure to protect the life and property of this citizen, and those responsible should be dealt with the full force of law. They do not know that India is one of the largest exporters of meat in the world. These small poor villagers who sell milk and ghee, etc. to feed their family are not killing cows to feed their families. It is the milk and ghee they get from the cows that feed their families. The former Vice President has raised very interesting and important points in the book as I gather from the comment. May it reach to the people who are governing but not taking care of the country.

Homosexuality ‘Right To Love’ or ‘Right to Destroy
Girls learn from women how to be Mothers. Boys learn from men how to be Fathers. If man under the pretext of freedom of choice screws with that system, the potential exists that it could interfere with our ability/desire/instinct to reproduce. It is a potential dilemma. Studies do indicate that children of homosexual parents have an increased statistical likelihood of also becoming homosexual.
Because if you give homosexuals the right to marry like normal people, you are saying, “Hey, you’re normal.” You illustrate a point here when you say, “You want them to remain abnormal.” The fact is, they are abnormal. And even if we give them the right to marry would make them not “normal.”Homosexual marriages could have a negative impact on society. There is currently more than enough data collected by Dr. Javed Jamil that has determined what horrible impact and devastating potential is occurring due to this ignoble act. Therefore, it does not require a longer study to make that evil to be determined as evil.
