Project Great Indian Bastard

On the 4th of March, 2015, the Project Great Indian Bastard was popularized by the BBC. The Government made visible attempts to hide its execution, however, banning the information related to it won't stop people from seeing the sensitive information, including the part instructing how to be the Great Indian Bastard:

1. Say, "Girl is a soft flower and we should protect it. Girl is a precious diamond and it can't be kept on road." Undoubtedly imply that girls are weak and can't protect themselves, bleating for the protection of oh-so-protective-and-kind men.

2. Be irritatingly condescending and say: "A girl should go with her uncle, father and grandfather.
She should not go out at night with her boyfriends." Assert that girls don't know what's right for them. Assert that men know what's right for them, because they can the see the future and the girls can't, right?

3. Say that it's the fault of the girl that she went out at night. Say that it happened because she was     wearing short clothes. Don't even think of those particular men who analyze that situation with their eyes. Don't even think of saying they were wearing their eyes (out).

4. Get educated and make generalizations like 'our society doesn't allow this' and 'our society doesn't allow that'. Oh yes! Blame the society! Don't change it! Simmer down and just let the damn thing happen!

5. Say the girl shouldn't fight back. Because if she doesn't, they would take pity on her. Because if she doesn't, wrong will continue to happen. Because if she doesn't, she'll die. And how pathetic is dying as a symbol for change?

6. Assertively speak that you would pour petrol and burn your daughter in front of all the people if she gets caught going out at night or losing her face and dignity. Don't think about who is the obstacle in roaming around freely at night. Just be a damn old hypocrite.

But, oh no! It isn't over yet. You see, bastards are everywhere, from the mountain to the molehill. And with this was launched, Project Great Bastard from Outside. What does that state, I wonder?

1. Generalize and defame all the men of a country for a crime which was committed by a handful of men. Bind the tourism of a country in shackles, paint their people's face with red paint, reading, 'falsely accused of rape'.

2. Be a hypocrite. Slam other people for defaming girls, and then defame the men, that too of another country. In this process, ignore the problems of your own country.

3. Already defamed the country's men? Next step: defame the country's culture. Defame the society. Without even talking to us girls, announce that we don't go out at all. Defamation is the key!

4. Above all that, don't do such things for the 'betterment of the masses', but make money with that   information, because people only care about the rapes that happen India!

5. Say that knowing about these situations will enlighten people. On top of that, make the proclamation in English. The message doesn't reach those to whom it needs to reach. Instead, air it to that section of the society which already knows about it and stands up against it.

6. Ignore the fact that India has the largest variety of cultures, largest variety of religions. That spiritual people comprise most of the part of the population. More spirituality leads to more rapes, right?

7. Don't give a damn as to what effect your work really is creating. Don't give a damn that Indian men are losing their internships, their jobs. That they are being thought of as demons all over the world.

Meanwhile, we are sitting here, in front of our laptops, thinking of how these Bastards are as big a problem as the rapists.

Who Am I?

Image result for who am i?



Who am I?
A human or some being beyond?
Or not a being at all?

They say I am an Indian.
They say I'm born for my country,
They say I'm a Hindu, my religion,
They say I'm what I was meant to be...

A servant? A bird caged?
Bound by the bars of rules.
Submissive? A follower?
Held by the chains of society.

But that's not what I think I am,
My thoughts roam much beyond.
To the edges of this universe
To the beginning of this time.

Am I my mind?
Am I my soul?
Or just my body all along?
I wonder, is it just me,
Singing this song?

Am I alive? Or, am I lost
In a dream of my own?
Is this all my mind's creation?
If not, whose then?

Sure, in this world
Just a speck of sand in the desert.
But what power does my heart hold?
What magic does it wield?

Am I a real earthling?
In this boundless universe?
If not, I pray, I wonder,
Where is my real home?

Yes, home I seek
In many wanderings
To far, far away.
The abode, where my answer rests.
I close my eyes,
And seek even
To the edge of this world.
