Teenage dad!

The news about teenage Dad has a lot to be analysed.

1. The heading in “The Hindu” is “Teenage dad not to be prosecuted.”
I don’t know why only the boy is singled out regarding the question of prosecution. The girl is also equally responsible for this act. Prosecution or no prosecution both are to be covered by the act. It shows the bias against masculine gender. It may be due to the fact though both the boy and girl are part of the act the girl only carried the baby for 10 months. This tendency of tilt towards motherhood is typical of Indian vales. In India we give more respect to mother than father. The saying ‘Thayir sirantha koilum illai, Thandhai sol mikka manthiram illai” meaning there is no better temple than mother and no better mantra (holy chant) than father’s words, brings out the preference we give to mother than father. So it is understandable why only the boy is singled out in the topic of the news column.

2 It is strange that it has become a news in India today. Just 50 years back in India child marriages were practiced. Our grand fathers and great grand fathers were all married at their teens only. But only after the we became British colony we started realizing that child marriage is not good for the society so it was banned. But the history is reversing. Now teen pregnancy is increasing now in Britain.

3 Is it a phenomenon? Definitely it is not. If a man is pregnant then it is a phenomenon. But what has happened is natural. Then why it is becoming an issue under debate? Because the society wants one to become a parent only if he is capable of managing his family financially. This would happen only if he attains a qualification which happens at the age18 or 20 years.


4. The other piece of information is the boys’ parent got divorced. This is also a point to be noticed. He does not have a family to monitor or bring him up properly.

5. He was brought up by a baby sitter. It is obvious that a babysitter is not a 100% substitute for a mother’s care. So naturally change in behavior of the boy is not corrected by the baby sitter at the right time.


6. It is also seen in the news that the boy and the girl were allowed to sleep in the same bed. In India the practice is different. A father avoids touching his daughter once she attains puberty. Similarly a mother also avoids touching his son after hen attains the age of puberty. Even in Mahabharatam our Great Epic it is pointed a mother should not sleep in the same room in which his grown up son is sleeping.

7. The lesson is the Indian tradition is the best to be practiced by each and every one.

Satyam

The story of Satyam computer is not shocking to me. I think what Mr. Raju did might be against laws but not against justice. After all he had groomed this company for about 20 years. It had grown into a giant IT company. But I feel that there was some move by some company to acquire Satyam. It may be legal. But after having given birth and groomed the baby if someone snatches her from one's arm it is quite natural to resist it. But at one point of time the inevitable had to be faced. So I think Mr. Raju could not do anything but to be a silent spectator which he did not want to be. So he must have made away with the balance money and left the company to be managed by others. His justification would be that the money suspected to be appropriated is for the work he had done all these years. This is only my imagination. This may or may not be wrong. But I think it is quite logical.

TERROR IN INDIA - NORTH & SOUTH

Tamilnadu Politicians are Clowns!

There is wide spread criticism against the uttering of Mr. Ponseka, Sri Lankan Army chief. He called Tamil Nadu politicians as Clowns. I do not know why he called them so. But I can compare the reactions of Indian politicians against terrorism, supposedly sponsored by Pakistan and Terrorism by LTTE, and come to some conclusions about the above uttering.

Lashkar- e-Toiba. The terror outfit functioning in Pakistan demonstrated their cowardism in Mumbai, recently. The Indian government ministers did not know any clue how to react to these acts.

So they first they said that it was sponsored by ISI, which is a Pakistan government agency. They also pointed links of Pakistan army in the execution of this act. But the ministers immediately retracted their statement by saying that ISI and Pak army are not under the control of Pak Government. The ministers also want Pak government to handover the suspected terrorist acting from Pakistan. But Pak is saying even if proved, Pak will not handover the militants. There is also a talk of attacking the hide out of militants in Pakistan which is also suggested by Mr. Obama.

On the other hand the Sri Lankan government is fighting against LTTE. LTTE is linked to Mr. Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination which took place in Tamil nadu. LTTE is also a banned outfit in India. The leader of LTTE Prabhakaran is a person wanted by Indian government. But Sri Lanka could not catch him. But assures that if he is caught they will hand over him to India. But it is possible for India to catch Prabhakaran for which Sri Lanka government would give all support. But India is not taking any step in that direction.

There is a clear contradiction in the actions of Indian politicians in the two issues.

Terrorism By Lashkar e Toiba

Operating from Pakistan
Fights for separate Kashmir
Executed terror actions India
Lashkar e Toiba do not kill fellow militants of various groups fighting for separate Kashmir
Believed to have support of Pak government
Pakistan could lay its hand on these terrorists.
India wants the terrorists to be handed over to India, But Pakistan refuses to do so.
India talks of war or attack in militant hide out in Pakistan But fears escalation of tension between countries.
The Tamil nadu politicians who met Prime minister recently pressurized him to stop war against LTTE.
All politicians support Muslims

Terrorism by LTTE.
Operating from Sri Lanka.
Fights for separate Elam
Executed terror actions in India
LTTE killed all fellow militant groups and also non militants of Tamils.
Sri Lanka government is against LTTE’s terror actions.
Sri Lankan government could not do so.
India wants LTTE leader Prabhakaran to be caught, Sri Lanka assures to hand him over if he is caught.
No such talk, but India can easily catch Prabhakaran and Sri Lanka government is also willing to extend help.
The same parties hold cabinet posts in the present government and want Pak to take actions against militants in Pak.
All politicians support Tamils

But the politicians’ action against Muslim terrorist is different from the Tamil militants. They support muslims but oppose muslim militants. They support Tamils and also support Tamil militants. Probably this could have made Mr. Ponseka to call the Tamil nadu politicians Clowns

Bombay Terror Attack

There is no heroic act in these terrorist acts. They are only cowards. That is why they kill unarmed humans. No public should discuss about their skill in carrying out the strikes, the well planned attack etc. But everyone who discusses this attack should loudly say that the terrorists are cowards. It is also clearly known to all,that mighty US could not eliminate attacks. So our Security system need not be blamed for this. But this is not the case with the present government. It is evident from the reported speech of our internal security? minister’sstatement that no time frame can be fixed for the execution of the persons involved in Parliament attack even after the Supreme court cnfirmed the death sentence twice. But the present government needs alround appreciation since it has ordered our forces to storm the places of terrorist attacks. Anyhow my condolences to those killed but they died for a cause. A stern warning by India that we will not negotiate with terrorists. Keep it up India!

sorry!
