Dr. DPS Toor is a surgeon friend of mine who always says that he practices in ‘Bharat’ and not in ‘India’. He provides all surgeries @ Rs. 6,000/- .
His concept was appreciated by me and I also started dividing my society into ‘India’ and ‘Bharat’. For me, Indians are the ones who live a western lifestyle and the Bhartiya are the ones who follow the traditional Bhartiya lifestyle observing all customs and rituals.
There are diseases linked to western life style and culture and were absent in our mythology era. The examples are heart attack, diabetes, blood pressure etc. People who observe traditional mythological fasts and do not eat cereals on the fast days do not or suffer less from lifestyle disorders.
Statement of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat that ‘rapes happen inIndiaand no in Bharat’ is not acceptable to the society and, therefore, became a controversy of the country. The collective consciousness of the people rejected this statement.
Even in our mythological era, we had cases of abduction (not rape) both in Mahabharata and Ramayana.
In the era, when India was ruled by Emperors, in some cases, cases of a newly married women forcibly spending her first night with the emperor has been described in the history.
Medically, sexual urges have nothing to do with poverty or westernization. Sexual urges are universal phenomenon.
If you see the statistics ofDelhi, maximum cases of pending sexual assault are seen in North East Delhi (152) and North West Delhi (154). Out of 1034 cases pending inDelhi, 25% belong to these two areas. In both these areas, we have a large number of JJ Clusters.
Also over 70% cases of sexual assault cases are reported from JJ clusters.
Whether ‘Indian’ or ‘Bharatiya’, every girl in the society has a right and has the freedom to live the way she wants and with a right to be safe.
