Folks,

I am disgusted with what is going on in our country. I was reading through the whole Pooja Chauhan Episode. Looks like the country is losing it.

Pooja Chauhan needs a lot of help and support, the psychiatric kind. In the meantime, there is Ranjana Kumari, who is obliquely suggesting that women should start stripping in public to further their goals.

”Shame on everyone who stood there to mock her but did nothing to help her. A woman who is sinking will do anything to keep afloat. Today you are responding, the police is responding, we are responding. I think now women need to dare,” said women’s activist Ranjana Kumari.

Great idea. I think they should. Maybe they can walk around with sign posts advertising what they are protesting about. Best way to draw attention to their cause.

Here is Girija Vyas, chiming in with silly arguments as usual. ” “I am asking my department to write a letter to the concerning officers that they should immediately take action – action regarding her mental health, her protection and speedy action by police on the FIR. The victim should be given relief as soon as possible. There should be awareness programmes and awareness training programmes for the police also, right from the constable to the DG. Sensitisation training and training regarding the new laws also is a must – especially the right of any woman to file an FIR,” Vyas told TIMES NOW on Thursday (July 5). “

The part about “The right of any woman to file an FIR” takes the cake.

I would say “Shame on Ranjana Kumari for condoning indecency”. There are many women in India and abroad who have overcome worse things by not resorting to indecency.

Who is Ranjana Kumari? She can be characterized as a radical feminist. You can read about her here: “Dr. Ranjana Kumari is a prominent activist and widely regarded as a leading force in the women’s movement in India. Dr. Ranjana Kumari is Director of the Centre for Social Research (CSR), President of Women Power Connect (WPC) India’s only lobbying organization focused on gender issues, National General Secretary of the Mahila Dakshata Samiti, an all India Women’s organization, Coordinator of Joint Action Front for Women (JAFW) consisting of 97 organizations, has been senior advisor to the Ministry of Labor, Government of India and Coordinator of South Asian Forum for Women’s Political Empowerment. Dr. Ranjana Kumari has also been a member of the Task Force on Industrial Relations for The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva. A doctorate in Political Science from Jawaharlal Nehru University, Dr. Ranjana Kumari is an author of 9 books, including the world famous, “Brides are not for burning” and “Women in Decision Making”. As an activist in the women’s movement, and ardent supporter of reservation of seats for women in parliament, Dr. Ranjana Kumari has actively campaigned for the issue for over a decade. She is also involved in the research, advocacy, lobbying, mobilizing campaign and training for the protection of women’s human rights.”

A few months ago, a magistrate issued a warrant against Richard Gere for a harmless peck on the cheek of Shilpa Shetty. The charge was indecency. We have a young mother walking the streets of city in her undies with kids ogling at her, and the establishment doesn’t want to press charges against her ?

I have a sickening feeling that we’ll become a nation of Paris Hiltons if we don’t stop this kind of a nonsense.

Just one thing though, once this lunacy wears off, and the woman comes to her senses, how does she go about pulling all these pics of her off the internet ?

How will she prevent her kids from being taunted ? I am sure that they will hear things like “I have seen your mom in her underwear”.

I wish Ranjana Kumari can answer these questions before making such idiotic statements.

Here are the links to the news items.

  3. Times Of India : This article has a pic of this idiot in her undies. Read at your discretion.
