Not all men are the same

I believe time for everything comes, a little unannounced and abrupt mostly. Same I think when issue of gender equality comes to mind; that its time is also coming, and more and more people are getting sensitised about the issue.

May be I am right as well in having this opinion, but some incidents push that hope on the back seat.

The post contains some explicitly offensive words so please excuse for them.

a. One fine day ajit was going to Delhi through a shared autorickshaw. As is usual, it was jam packed except for one seat on which a woman in her 40s, wearing a little dirty and old dress, apparently from a lower class came and sat. The space was less so her hips were squeezed between ajit and another man.

The man was already in disgust seeing that woman. And when out of necessity and no choice, the woman sat and pressed with the adjecentpassengers, the man said "ye g*nd lagaake baith gayi"... it was unbearable to the woman and she stood up and the sat on the floor of the already occupied autorickshaw. Ajit wanted to say the woman to not sit down and let the man tolerate whatever he has in mind. The man was succesful in displacing the woman from an equal status. And the woman, she accepted her situation, even if she had anger about theincident. She did not say a word to that man.
Ajit felt bad, but did not do anything because the woman would not come up and sit, he assumed.

b. Its a story of a region majorly containing middle class families, mostly associated and remaining in touch with their ancestral villages.
One night, rahman was having a party with his college friends and while returning from the party Venue, it got late and stretched to midnight. Rahman and his friends hired an auto to the college.
On the way, a woman in western dress appeared along with a man. The auto driver immediately exulted by saying "ye dekho sir chikni ch**t ja rahi hai"
It got rahman puzzled at what the driver meant and afterhe understood, wanted to slap the auto driver and abandon the ride.

These stories are,even if not true(but they're) baffling to imagine in a society which aspires for gender equality.

It is agreeable to consider the difference, only in some aspects, and that too not universally. But inspite of differences, why not be sensitive to a fellow person and let the environment be of all round peace and tolerance.

Dinanagar Incident

The basic highlights of the incident were like this:
1. Unidentified gunmen in army's uniform appeared out of no where and started shooting at a bus first, and then at a car, then went to a police station and started firing at the constables and inspector.
2. Pujab police rapidly came into action and surrounded the police station and was involved in fire exchange with the three gunmen(now deserving to be called terrorists) for 12 hours, till none of them was alive.
Story ended.

The government starts saying that the terrorists came from Pakistan's territory from Gurdaspur district in Punjab, crossing the Ravi river.
The statements, even with a substantial proof are not sufficient, as we have seen in Lakhvi case, for Pakistan to accept the accusations pointed by India.  Even the trend of faking like army men has been observed in previous two-three terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. But that is still not a sufficient proof. Without an agreeable proof, an accusation will make the relations sour. This is what is actually happening. In sour mood, there will be more ceasefire violations, more blames and lesser chances of peace.
I believe India had a better chance to get the proof of whee the terrorists had come from, had the three not been killed, but tranquilized, which could have been a very easy task as they were in a compound heavily surrounded by police personnel. In the interrogation, everything could have been extracted from the fake army men.

The government is appreciating the work done single handedly by Punjab Police in neutralising the terrorists, but it is not a great achievement in my view, as the task is only half done, and the rest half will be done in a negative exponential trend, as all the recent issues with Pakistan have been observed to take shape, positive or negative. All that is required is a small infiltration by terrorists or the government raising Kashmir issue as the mandatory condition for any future progress.

I can't imagine that the idea of tranquilizer did not hit the government. There must be some greater reason for neutralizing the terrorists. Chances of having bomb with them was also there. But the risk was equal while aiming for their lives. In my opinion it (tranquilizing) would have been a better way to handle the situation.
