Festivals and protection

 

Death of a young female doctor in Kolkata, India working in under-resourced environment where only medics can save people , suffered in most despicable way due to men who commit such crimes. The Central Bureau of Investigation's psychological analysis of Sanjay Roy, the only person to be arrested so far in the RG Kar Medical College rape-murder case, has found him to be a sexual pervert.

The 35-year-old had an “animal-like instinct”. When questioned, he exhibited no remorse for the heinous rape and murder. The man showed no repentance and narrated the entire episode giving every minute detail without hiccups. It appeared he had no remorse and he shared the details without a trace of emotion.

 

The safty of women of Nepal is as bad. For example women  are always forced into two days of fasting and also fasting on the third day in front of Five Rishis / Sapta Panchami ( seven  Rishis ) during extensive Puja rituals of TEEZ festival. Pregnant women are mostly forced to do extensive physical activity and are underfed as per the information provided by the doctors. Health services are also poor. As per the hospital records many women give birth to STILL baby birth during pregnancy period due to long two and half days of fasting during BARTA (fasting ritual) of TEEZ festival time. Many of these Rishis are not safe people and have track record being rapists. These saffron clad  imposters are the most harmful elements for the development of a productive society. Most of them with ashes all over bodies and covered with special dresses calling themselves as gods.

I do recall a drama being played by the group of girls rescued from the brothels of Bombay by NGO called Maitnepal. The real life story of the drama highlighted on how girls from the vulnerable families were whisked away through their dancing program during TEEZ  programme by the gangsters. We, a group of women members Computer Association Nepal (CAN) had gone there to provide them training on Computer. I still recall and can never ever forget those  traumatized young girls crying over our shoulders when we had farewell programs after the end of the training program.

 

Most of the areas of Nepal are unprotected where children, young girls and women are stolen, gang raped and sold into brothels. Most of the senior citizen women from rural villages  of Nepal narrate such unfortunate stories. This is where we rational thinkers should intervene using the powerful social media. IT players can play key role in bringing out right data and solutions in this “age of Algorithms”. We should muster courage to effectively communicate with the ignorant mass to free them with all irrational and wrong beliefs. The  brains of the innocent masses are being hypnotized  making them capable of internalizing more of fear mongering stories and engaging them more in wasting their hard earned money into unproductive rituals in the names of going to the heaven.

Nepalese people face several natural disasters like earthquakes, flood, land slides. Rape cases spiral during such natural disaster times. Instead of establishing Natural disaster management centers at local levels, government is promoting construction of temples . The worst disaster in Nepal is that the country is filled with Narcissistic characters who promote illusion and suck money in the name of  ASTHA dragging people into becoming resourceless communities.

Film industry should do extensive research on above issue, collect evidences by engaging youth and create films in order to expose the truth behind the underdevelopment of Nepalese society.
