Value of Life? A pub goer in mangalore VS cyclist at bangalore

 I am just watching a debate on ban on the pub on Times Now.  Some states in India have already banned PUB and some other are planning to ban it. Recently activist of Ram Sena are arrested for beating up some girls at Mangalore pub. I strongly condemn the violence. Violence at any form is not acceptable.

   Our media was busy in showing how inhuman we are.  Why should not we ban pub and allow people to go and drink. A woman has equal rights to drink as man. Even the anchor told Rig Veda has 16 verses about sura pana. One of the participants was telling how ban on drinking is equivalent to ban on education. Media must be forward thinking and is concerned about the people who want to drink and dance whole night. Let us look at what their contribution towards our society is.

 Last week a drunken driver killed 4 cyclists while driving his car in Bangalore. He may get 7 years jail for drunken driving.  Last week Bangalore police fined 30000 drivers for drunken driving in the late night and one third of them are women.  And the story goes on.

 In our village, I have seen people who have lost everything they possess to alcohol.  I have seen lots of domestic violence under the influence of alcohol.

What is the solution? Ram Sena way is a big no. We don’t need to think hard. Look at Gandhiji. Do picketing against alcohol in peaceful way. Adult people have the rights to drink and others have the right to do picketing.

    I have a question is the life of the cyclist cost less than abusing the girls? Who cares for the cyclists? What about the life of families where somebody spends money on alcohol without the basic minimum requirement of his family? Probable media thinks so. They have reported about the death of four people in some page which is not searchable and runs fronts pages for days about mangalore pub attack. 

AIDS Awareness or attack on Indian Culture?

I was traveling to my office in Bangalore. Some volunteer stopped me and wanted to know what my ring tone was. I have kept one of the all time odiya best song suna sagadi re   rupa kaniya. When I wanted to know the reason behind it, I heard they are promoting safe sex and providing surprise gifts for the people who have condom condom .., as their ring tone. You may have found many such spending of money to prevent AIDS and promote safe sex.  Do they promote AIDS awareness or attack our culture covertly?

 

   To me, AIDS is not a big threat as it is not contagious.  I don’t need to worry about it, as long I am honest with my wife. Virtually it won’t spread if people will only have sexual relationship with their wife/husband.

 

 I understand all the people might not think to have only one relationship. And they may be victim of the AIDS. However most of the Indians believe and practice only one relationship and are safe from AIDS. One who wants to prevent AIDS can go for advertising be faithful to your partner and prevent AIDS. It matches our culture, tradition education etc. We can promote our culture and prevent AIDS and tell people about the law on adultery at the same time. However they don’t so. Covertly they are promoting to have multiple sexual relationships and look beyond ones wife/husband.

 

 

  I told the same to the volunteer who checked my caller tune. He said they are advertising to prevent AIDS both for people the people who have sex with their partner and those who have pre-marital or extra-marital relationship. People who might have done adultery because of age, or any other need should not die because of AIDS. I have to agree with him.  No civilized society awards death penalty for adultery.  So they have every right to be alive.

 

 

 I was paused for a minute. And their group leader was approaching me. I have asked her a simple question.  What about the blood donated or injection given to somebody? People might need better awareness to use a fresh one instead of reusing injection syringe.  Or blood needs to be tested before transferring to somebody else. Do you care for them? Wouldn’t it be better to have awareness campaign at hospital than at a crowded road?

 

    If India has millions of AIDS patient then there must be thousands of people dying of AIDS. Where are the figures? How do they have the figure that India has millions of AIDS patient?  She did not have answers to any and promised to get back to me. In case we have millions of patients why can’t we promote our value and culture to prevent it? Why don’t we say it can’t we prevent it by using proper syringes, blood etc at hospital?

Why do we need to promote the so called safe (adultery??) sex and condom? It is coveted attack on our culture and it is a promotion of adultery than prevention of AIDS.
