20,000 and your virginity restored??!!! Where are we heading to ??
Yeah its true.Just Rs 20,000 and women will have their hymens replaced by a small surgery.This surgery is called hymenoplasty.This has clandestinely started a few years back in Ahmedabad.The plastic surgeons have stated that even people from the west have started to make enquiries.Sooner rather than later they are bound to commercialize this for monetary gains.
Sociologists are up in arms against this and blame the doctors for keeping the people in the dark about sex.In India sex has never remained a taboo ,only talking about it has remained a taboo,otherwise how will you justify the rising number of cases of HIV+ patients .People who have tried to break free in this regard have meet opposition.For instance Kamalhaasan has several times stated on record that we need to be making films on sex to educate people,just by shirking away from it and not talking about it we are suffering .He has also stated in an column in the Chronicle dt.27-12-05 that the Government must consider lowering the marital age so that by the time they are inquisitive about sex they are married and needn't worry about contracting diseases.Another glorious example of resistance to people who have spoken out is the case of Kushbu&Suhasini.The so called protectors of Tamil culture PMK and DPI are now sitting in rival camps.The PMK which is part of the DPA must first exit it on the grounds that people like Karunanidhi are not helping their cause by having several wives.
In the first place absence of hymen does not indicate that the women is not a virgin.There are several other ways by which the hymen is broken,not only the first intercourse.
There are several issues which are thrown up.One is all this talk of virginity only with women.The government must immediately step in and ban this surgery forthright else.This further highlights the hypocratic attitude of the male community.While they want their wives to be untouched,they indulge in all sorts of pre-marital sexual practices.Not that extra marital or pre marital sex is uncommon in India,but the expectations of the males are unrealistic in todays society where almost every boy or girl would have had a pre marital affair of some sort.If you see most of the Hindu Gods are flanked by many wives be it Vishnu or his son-in-law Murugan.I'm not ridiculing them but we have worshipped those kind of people for ages.While Ahalya,Renuka,Sita...... were all punished by their husbands for not being chaste,never were Indra,Krishna,Arjuna,Bhima..... .This in a way says how we've treated our women and all the talk of women being held in high regard in the good old times is only humbug.
While more and more money is pumped into India in the name of IT along with it comes other western practices of exchanging partners,one night stands and what not.While we are ready to accept the money greedily we have to tackle these kinds of problems as well.Sex is cause for all misery ,as we know the story of Adam and Eve.Sex is also the reason why each one of us are here and there is no reason why young men and women must feel embarassed to discuss about it at appropriate forums.(That is one of the reasons I've spoken out on this issue.)The responsibility of this lies at the hands of the media which includes cinema.Cinema must play a very major role in these kinds of matters.People like Rajnikanth can maybe act as nice guys in movies and provide wholesome entertainment but they ought to fulfill their obligations to the society.By canvassing for causes such as AIDS he will only better the lives of so many young minds.
All this only re-iterates why we should have education about sex at high school and college.THIS is the only way we are going to overcome myths.Co-education must also be made a must.This also a major reason for all what is happening in the society right now rape,eve-teasing etc..,
As concluding remarks I would like to state the all this talk of virginity must go at once.All that matters is sincerity of partners and pure love.Ultimately ANBE SIVAM.

Taking higher education to masses-Really?
The move to introduce 49.5% reservation in all central universities(IITs,IIMs,DeemedUniversities etc..,) is totally attrocious. As such the country has been suffering from this evil since independnce and now this move seems to be only worsening this.
The argument of our HRD minister that the IIMs and IITs have been asked to increase their intake is totally baffling.In the first place will the universities raise their intake by almost 30%? Second most deemed universities are private instituitions and asking them to increase their intake at a time when there is already a huge contrversy between the deemed universities and a body of the stature of AICTE is totally absurdity at its height.
Reservation in various sectors ranging from education to jobs has been one of the primary reasons for the brain drain.Now that will only increase.As such most of the upper class is discontended with the existing reservation system.This rubs salt into their wounds.
Once the intake is increased further the standard of education will go down further.Haven't we seen in recent times people coming from very modest backgrounds making it to the top.Take for example the guy who once sold idlis -Sarath.The government is always taking the shortcut of reservation in higher education ,rather than increasing the standard of living of the oppressed classes and citing that as a move to increase their living.What needs to be done is better education at school levels so that they can make it to the elite instituitions by merit.As such this new scheme will cover up for most of the non Hindus.Of course many Hindu classes will also be benificiaries but most of the Christians and Muslims fall under the backward communities. No I'm not insinuating them.But is it not the truth?
The Govt. must rather create universites exclusively for its scheduled classes rather than tinker with the existing set up.The move comes as such from the Congress led Govt. ,and that too in the field of education ,so most sane individuals would agree that its not a move for the good.
Reservations , Reservations.

Promising the sun
While so much is being made of regarding the slew of promises being made by the DMK,the educated and the uneducated classes,both have questioned its possibility and feasibility.
If you would call giving television sets as absurd,how would you term giving away 2 acres of land to the landless and promising rice at Rs.2 a kg ,Rs300 a month for unemployed.................
The DMK President who is a vetran and is also considered a great master mind at evolving strategies pre elections seems to have got this one totally wrong.
The argument that TV is meant for educational and recreational purposes of women is one that'll he'll have to look at, as to how he was able to make such a comment when you have only sops playing all days in all channels.The move seems to aimed at enhancing their TV networks viewership and revenue most of which is allegedly unaccounted for.Shrewd that he is he might ultimately give people a 4 inch or 6 inch television made in China which will not cost more than a few hundred rupees.
2 acres of land to the landless..to this there are two baffling things that he'll have to answer.One is there enough land and two what is the exact definition of landless.Instead of defining what landless means at a later stage ,just in case he comes to power, he ought to clarify clearly rather than making such flirtatious promises.
Rice at Rs 2 a kg cannot be distributed without buying it at a lower rate from the farmers.There has to be a limit to his non pragmatism.Where will the money come from.Well it looks like he is trying to please himself that he has made very good promises to his people.Is he planning to use his private funds for this kind of a subsidy.He must remember that he made a similar promise of rice at Rs 1 a kg in a earlier election in the 60's but was not able to implement it after assuming power.
Promising Rs 300 a month for unemployed is yet another non pragmatic move.This 300 is going to be filled back into the Governments pockets and no prizes for guessing how .
Making a mockery of the judiciary has become a habit of our politicans.Even while our Honorable courts have struck down the religious reservations the DMK has promised reservation for the christians and muslims.
As a concluding note the manifesto seems to be lacking in idea rather the DMK's think tank has run out of ideas,and they have only promised the sun.
