The new ads by Tata Sky, clearly show the kind of mental torture that wives do on husbands and go unpunished. Given the social conditioning, even the men could not do anything about the torture but tolerate it. It speaks of reality - Domestic Violence on men by their wives.
See the ads and know the reality and rectify your perceptions.

Better the less said about the misuse (read intended use) of Section 498A IPC, the most draconian law ever formed to infringe upon the civil liberties of individuals and rip-apart the family system of India. This one law wreaks so much havoc on Indian men and their families that it drives them to suicide. Every year close to 58000 husbands commit suicide, every nine minutes a married man ends his life and in the last 12 years 170,000 husbands have ended their life unable to bear the domestic violence from their wives and in-laws and the apathy of the Government and Society towards them.
Added to that, the Government has formulated Weapons of Male Destruction (WMD) like Section 498A which mandates arrest of innocent persons merely on the basis of complaints without any need to investigate into the complaint or corroborate it with evidence. Not only that, even the judiciary uses the Section to abuse men. Often when the complaint is received, husband and his family are not given bail unless they accede to the financially extortionary demands of wife and her parents.
The U.S. Govt. is planning to table a bill in its Senate and the Lower House named the iVAWA which stands for "International Violence against Women Act". Not to be surprised at all, it will be completely anti-male and in the name of Women Empowerment, Male Entrapment would be passed off as a social service. The U.S. Govt. is planning to release $ 1 billion, which works out to Rs. 4500 Crore for creating awareness about iVAWA and Indian feminists would easily get $ 200 million which works out to Rs. 900 crores for implementing iVAWA. Such an amount of money is sufficiently enough to ruin Indian men's lives.
Apart from being gender biased, the iVAWA is actually "A Ticking Social Bomb" which will be covered shortly, but before that I will share certain bare facts.
Sub: Result of online poll conducted by Bhavya Foundation on implementation of I-VAWA
Bhavya Foundation is a registered NGO works for the welfare of child in general and children caught in a matrimonial dispute of their parents in particular. Foundation specially creates awareness in matters of Fatherless Children. Bhavya Foundation is headquartered at Rai-Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was founded on 10th August 2009. Its launch was aptly covered by the media as shown here.
Responding to media reports about the proposed law, "International Violence against Women Act (I-VAWA)" to be introduced soon in the U.S. senate and the cabinet, Bhavya Foundation, carried out an online poll. The U.S. Govt. is said to release $ 1 Billion for implementing the law in various countries including India. This will give Indian feminists a couple of million dollars to spread more anti-male agenda in order to justify the existence of the law.
Sub: 90% of common citizens say NO to “Women Reservation Bill’ in NDTV Poll as it is undemocratic and unconstitutional.
We, Save Indian Family Foundation, are an organization dedicated and committed to the cause of spreading awareness about the misuse of existing gender biased laws. We consider it as our moral duty to inform all who are in imminent danger of passage of any similar gender biased laws and are doing it selflessly.
90% of common citizens also say NO to “Women Reservation Bill’ in the NDTV poll as it is undemocratic and unconstitutional. The link of the poll can be found at
As you are very much aware, the bill for reservation for Women in Parliament and State Legislatures, called, ”The Constitution (One Hundred And Eighth Amendment) Bill, 2008” will deal a death blow to the health of Indian democracy and will permanently change the nature and character of Indian polity. Besides, it can signal the end for most male MPs who will be restricted to contest from 67% of the seats in Lok Sabha and State Legislatures.
Well today, 24th Feb 2010, Sachin Tendulkar - the living cricket legend made history. He scored the first double century in One Day International (ODI) cricket. No one has ever created such a record in cricketing history so far.
But one day before that, Sachin did something more remarkable. He made a statement that is going to create more problems for men in the society. He promoted "Legal Terrorism".
The title says, "Sachin bats for campaign against Domestic Violence" but in reality it ignores the male victims of domestic violence and men falsely accused of domestic violence by their wives. I would like to bring forth certain facts here.
Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF) is a non-funded non-profit NGO fighting for men's rights, Gender Equality and Family Harmony by creating awareness against the misuse of gender obsessed laws like Section 498A, the Domestic Violence Act, and the various Maintenance laws etc. which are systematically breaking down the family system of India.
SIFF representatives in the U.S. have met the US Senate and House staffers, around 30 of them and expressed their displeasure over the implementation of iVAWA - International Violence against Women Act and the proposed funding of $ 1 Billion (Rs. 4500 crores) being approved.
SIFF representatives apprised the U.S. officials about the ground realities of the Indian Domestic Violence scenario, some of the highlights of which are as follows:-
The International Violence against Women (i-VAWA) bill is proposed to be tabled in Senate in next couple of months. There are serious controversies in India due to misuse of the laws meant for protection of women. It is appropriate for US to allow Govt of India to deal with these issues.
So, US Senate must exclude India in i-VAWA bill.
President of India, Mrs. Pratibha Devisingh Patil on 26th Dec 2007, referring to misuse of VAW legislation in India:
""Let me put in a word of caution and sage counsel. Empowerment does not mean setting women against men. Gender injustice cannot and should not be perceived as war or rivalry between the two sexes."
"Instances exist whereby protective legal provisions for the benefit of women have been subjected to distortion and misuse to wreak petty vengeance and to settle scores. It is unfortunate if laws meant to protect women get abused as instruments of oppression." Click here to read more.
As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"
Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.
As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc.by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.
And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.
To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
