This article has been inspired from “Trapped in a confined space, the human mind begins to unravel”

Today’s Bangalore edition of the DNA carried an article titled – Trapped in a confined space, the human mind begins to unravel on page 6. The article talked about the psychological implications on individuals kept in solitary confinement either knowingly or unknowingly. While I won’t go into the minute details of the article, I would take some quoted texts,

“A couple of years ago, the BBC aired a special show called Total Isolation. Six people were shut inside a cell in a nuclear bunker, quite in the dark. After, 48 hours, the volunteers experienced auditory and visual hallucinations, visions and an inability to sense time. Tests proved that their ability to complete the simplest tasks had deteriorated. One subject's memory capacity fell 36 per cent and all the subjects had trouble thinking of words beginning with the letter 'F'.

This was the psychological impact of 48 hours of isolation from the world on subjects who knew they were taking part in an experiment, and were assured of physical safety.”

I had predicted long back in my article, More and more Baazigars in Formation that if men are not given their due space in relationships, marriage and society, they will turn Baazigars - one who just sets his own rules for his justice and does not care about consequences.

Amit Buddhiraja of Infosys did it in April 2008, followed by Sathish Kumar Gupta in July 2010, again from Infosys. The common link between the two - both killed their wives unable to bear the harassment from their wives and after their wives threatened to book them under false dowry cases.

Such deep is the male hatred in the society that these men knew, once their wives complained no one would listen to them and treat them worse than a criminal. Hence, they took the obvious choice, they became criminals clearly proving the adage correct - "The society creates the crime, the criminal commits it."

Now, the choice belies with the society, allow the male hatred to spread and be responsible for the skyrocketing crime or take responsibility for the same and address it.

PRESS RELEASE

Sub: SIFF announces 3^rd Annual Men’s Right Conference on 15^th August 2010

About SIFF:

Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), Bangalore, a men’s rights organization fighting against misuse of dowry laws, domestic violence act and other anti-male and unconstitutional laws, comprises of around 30,000 people all over the country and abroad. SIFF came into existence in 2005 and since then it has been aggressively fighting misandry (male hatred) by creating awareness about men’s issues in the society.

About Annual Men’s Rights Conference:

SIFF, under the aegis of the Save Indian Family movement has been participating in men’s rights conference since 2008. This year, SIFF is organizing the 3^rd Men’s Rights Conference at Yercaud in Tamil Nadu, a small hill station 32 Kms, from Salem on the 15^th of August, 2010. Over 100 men’s rights activists from all over India, representing about 15 different NGOs working for men’s rights, will be participating in the conference to intensify the movement of men’s rights in India.

Theme of the Conference:

SIFF and its allied NGOs, under the aegis of the Save Indian Family movement, are calling for a “Sugarless Independence Day”, this year. Men’s rights activists attending the conference have decided to have sugarless tea/coffee on observance of the 15^th of August, 2010 and also not to have any other sweets. This is an exhibition of epitome of the bitterness caused in the lives of men who are living in a society where there are only expectations from them and no acceptance for them.

It reminds me of Honorable Justice G Raghuram’s statement in a seminar, “Too much audio-visual input jeopardizes the cognitive ability of the brain” when I see the overwhelming amount of anti-male news and misandry in the media, perpetrated by women’s rights activists, popularly known as “Feminists” – though I prefer to call them as feminazis.

Ever since I grew up, I have been overfed with a feeling that women have always had a raw deal and thus never challenged the rampant misandry in the society – until I realized truth the hard way – by falling victim to the same misandry. However, it led to me an ultimate realization – that in actuality it’s the men who have always had a raw deal in the name of women having it.

One of the foremost social institutions where men get a raw deal and that too, a visible one, is MARRIAGE – wherein men have only responsibilities and punishments to deal with; no peace, no rights.
