A case of sexual offender employer

After the Tejpal incident surfaced, once again the question that already did several rounds without getting resolved shows up. Are the laws for sexual crime against women at workplace sufficient to act as deterrent for the perpetuators?

We at this point are not talking about the women getting harassed the hand of their colleagues, but by their employers. Employers have influence over their employees for obvious reasons. Then it is very much possible that little advances undergo unobjected. This bolsters the confidence of the employer which eventually results in grave sexual offence.

Two measures are very important in this regard. Women should not let go smallest of the advancement go unobjected. Once the employer has an idea of the stand of the women, they will think again before getting further. Second, we have laws in place for the offenders. The pressing need of the hour is that the judgment should not be dragged too long that it become a punishment for the victim and get into oblivion from the public memory. Judgments should serve the dual purpose – justice done to the victim & serve as an example for the society. After all how the nation treats its women, old and children is the index of the consciousness of the nation.

New Low Everyday - Competition Among Indian Law Makers

Image
It seems that law makers in the country are in competition to edge each one out in protest in a most headlines grabbing way. Snatching of papers of the speaker, pepper sprayed and now to stripping, every single day our law makers are touching new low. By getting elected for, they consider they have the right to hijack the house and do whatever seems appropriate to their understanding. They shamed the people of the country and the country before the world. The house should take stringent disciplinary action to set an example & deter other. What’s worst is the comment of the UP minister Azam Khan on the issue of stripping of 2 RJD MLAs. He once again epitomized the arrogance of the UP government as they are voted in the full majority, they are free to make such sick comments. Days are not gone when another MLA declared that chilling cold of UP cannot killed anyone in the relief camp. It’s time that people should be given power to ‘Right to Call Back’ these law makers who lack m...

Malshej Ghat Accident - Case of Human Error

Image
Once again human error is said to be responsible for the death of 30 passengers in Malshej Ghat where a state transport bus collided head on with the tempo and fell into a deep gorge.  Driving in hilly areas is totally different from driving in plain areas. Drivers who have experience and skills in driving through plain may find it difficult and challenging to drive in hilly areas. The gravity at the inclined plane and sharp turns made it very difficult to control the vehicle. Also driving after sunset and before sunrise challenges further as drivers are unable to gauge the sharpness in the turns properly and driving is done purely on the assumptions. If the vehicle is slightly overloaded then it makes it further difficult in controlling the vehicle which is under the influence of gravity at inclined plane.  Further, the safety of vehicle do not depends upon the driving skills of the driver of that vehicle alone but also on the skills of other drivers. This accident ...

Desperation to win

Image
The desperation in BJP to win general election 2014 is evident. It is not shy away to strike an alliance with any regional potential political outfit. The closeness of BJP with MNS in Maharashtra has already raffled feathers in longtime ally Shiv Sena. The latest episode of inclusion and exclusion of Sri Rama Sena chief in Karnataka is another example. Earlier party cleared the ticket to those who were involved in Muzaffarnagar riots. The infighting of the party is known to all and sundry. Every senior leader is fighting their own prestige battle. It will be interesting to see in the coming election how this desperation of the party will responded by the people in the presence of more potential challenger like AAP which has already upset it to win Delhi state polls.   Disgruntled seniors  In & Out of BJP in 5 hours
