Today there are various laws
against rapists in our country. Also there are a number of family laws. In
addition to catching and punishing the rapists these laws also gives an
authority to the Govt. of India enter and interfere in each and every place of
Indian citizen’s freedom and his human rights. These
laws were devised with the objective to protect the human right of a woman
giving her liberty to maintain her sexual relationship with a man of her
choice. Any person who ignores her right of choice and forcefully compels her
by any means for sexual intercourse is called a rapist. Also there are
provisions made in these laws giving a female liberty to say that the
intercourse done with her is rape or not rape. If she has a malicious intention
and falsely says that it is a rape and falsely imposes it on a innocent male,
the male is arrested without warrant and sent to jail. This is the main
loophole of these laws by which the corrupt machinery with the help of any
woman can blackmail an innocent man and earn lot of money as a bribe to free
him of the charge. This clearly shows that these laws are made to divide
a man and a woman and protect one gender and harm the other gender to the
maximum. This also shows that the Indian laws are made not to give justice to
each and every section of the society, but just to leave no scope at any place
from where politicians can get their larger part of bread. In true sense the
concept of democracy where every citizen has freedom of speech, expression and
freedom to live without hurting the interest of the other citizen is completely
killed. A common man following all the norms and laws of the society is not
allowed to live peacefully without fear. Broadly speaking there is no democracy
in our India. Government of India has the legal power to interfere in each and
every action of a citizen of India from his eating of food, sexual relationships,
his feeding of family, his walking on the street, his going to the public
toilet, even in his religion and his earning of money etc. The Govt. of India
through its law enforcing machinery keeps eye on each breathe of a common
citizen of India. Each time you breathe your life, you will have to remember
that have you not broken the Govt. law while breathing. A common man doesn’t lives his free life, but he lives a life
of mercy granted to him by the Govt. of India to serve the goals and missions to
exploit the common man set by the ruling politicians of India. There are
conflicting laws made senselessly, one will grant you your human rights and the
other law will suppress your human rights.
Emphasizing the Indian rape law; the
corrupt politicians take full advantage of it to make money, through bribes
indirectly procured from their hidden agents incorporated in the law enforcing
agencies, thus making the life of a common man a hell struggling and fighting
corruption throughout the lifetime and paying his hard earned money to these
unofficial corrupt agents as a bribe and in this way finishing his life of slavery,
awarded to him by these corrupt politicians, in the graveyards of corruption.
What is the meaning of rape
according to the Indian law?
The concept of rape by Indian law
IPC 375 and 376 is physical sexual pleasure enjoyed by a male by forcefully
touching the physical body of a woman (except wife) without her wish. It means
that if that woman wishfully allows a man to have intercourse with her, it is
not called rape. The meaning of rape is limited to this only. There is no such
law in India, which agrees to punish a woman, if a group of women or a woman
physically stronger than a man does intercourse with the man forcefully. The
law doesn’t agrees that a woman can do rape. This means that the Indian law
gives a clear verdict that a man of India must always submit to the wishes of a
woman and satisfy her if she wishes to have sex with that man. Otherwise the
woman has a clear option to blackmail the man for falsely charging him of being
rape done to her. But the same is not
allowed to a man. Though the law says that thorough investigation must be done
before arresting that man, but law enforcing agencies doesn’t do that and
simply arrest that man with the support of false evidences to cook the bread
for their masters, who have appointed them.
Now we will divert our mind
towards social and theoretical meaning of rape. In real life what is rape? What
is sex? What is intercourse? What relation of intercourse has with the mind and
soul of a person? What impact rape and intercourse throws on emotional part of
a human being? Why a man or a woman does rape?
These questions if answered can
solve the problem of rape when broadly understood.
Before answering questions about
rape, I will try to tell you about the man and woman relationship. In olden
days, there was only one relationship between man and a woman and that was a
sexual relationship. Slowly the man started realizing that there are other
types of relationships also which can be shared between a male and a female.
Like 1. Father and daughter, 2. Mother and son, 3. Brother and sister, 4. Uncle
and niece, 5. Aunty and nephew, 6. Mother-in-law and son-in-law, 7. Father–in-law
and Daughter-in-law etc. All these relationships from 1 to 8 have no sexual
relationships. These relationships are maintained by heart and are
relationships of sacrifice. In all these one is male and the other is female.
Then afterwards various religions came into being and they restricted the
sexual relationships to only husband and wife. These religions realized that
the relationship between wife and a husband is of love and expectation. That is
a physical expectation. It means that there is some selfishness involved
between the relationship of a husband and a wife.
The religions realized that sex
is not everything. It realized that we are not animals, but we have brain to
think too. The true relationship between a male and female can be free of sex
involvement. That means the relationship of sacrifice. Just to love the other
without expecting anything from the other. Thus such kind of relationship came
into being and today we are enjoying these relationships due to the invention
of these relationships by those religions.
These relationships of sacrifice
invented the true meaning of love. Now love was widely understood. Now man
understood that love is only sacrifice and not an expectation. He realized that
expectation is involved along with love only in the relationship between a wife
and a husband; where both expect sexual intercourse. When these sexual
intercourse stops the relationship between wife and husband starts
deteriorating.
Now I will try to explain the
sexual relationship between a man and a woman. Like hunger and thirst, which
are natural physical phenomena, similarly sex is also a natural physical phenomenon
which nature has associated it with a man. When a man sees a beautiful woman, a
desire arises in the mind of a man to have sex with that woman. Sex is enjoyed
between a man and a woman in an unlimited number of ways. Many saints and
intellectuals have described this beautiful phenomena in various beautiful
forms. But the most common thing in all these forms of sexual behaviours is
that there is liberty given by the nature to a man and a woman to enjoy it with
their own way. Sometimes, it is done by requesting each other to execute it to ones
desire. Sometimes, it is done by using some force. Some men and ladies get
satisfied only when it is done to them by using force. The sex is unexplainable
because it has unending forms of taste.
But the Govt. of India has
limited our sex to be used in a limited form by making wrong laws. The natural law
by which nature gives us liberty is betrayed by Govt. of India. There are
similar wrong laws throughout the world in various countries, but we will only
talk about Govt. of India because we live in India.
Now the spiritual concept.
According to the Indian law, when a force is used to have sex to a woman other
than wife, it is called rape and when the same is done to a wife, it is not rape.
Why forceful sex with the wife can’t be called rape, when it is done against
the wishes of her. The answer is that the meaning of rape is not well
understood by the society till now. Rape according to the society means
involvement of force. When a man uses force in sex, it pains a woman’s body and
the soul. But when someone’s wife doesn’t allows her husband to have sex and
blackmails him to go to the court to charge him falsely in the court, in this
situation, the pains which a man gets to hold himself from not doing sex, why
it can’t be called rape. Holding one’s mind and soul from not doing it, when
his body is demanding gives more pain to a man than the pain which a woman
bears while having a sex against her wishes. When a beautiful woman only loves
a rich man and starts hating her financially poor boy friend after she gets a
richer man, the feelings of a poor boy friend gets hurt to such an extent that
his thinking capacity stops, he gets frustrated and his life ends in a
destitute. His life becomes hell. His desires of life are killed. His soul is
killed. I think his pain is much higher than a forceful sex done to a woman. Why
this can’t be called rape and its punishment allotted must be as equal to the
punishment given to a rapist. When a husband works very hard for about 12 to 14
hours a day to earn for the wife and children and as wife remains at home and
establishes a sexual relationship with a neighbour and gets ran away with him
along with her children, without realizing that the sweat and pain which her
husband exerted throughout the life for them is his love towards them, why this
behaviour of a woman can’t be called a rape? Can anybody imagine that the
children for whom the father has taken pains throughout the life are hundred
times more than the woman who was forced for sex for a little time. Can anybody
imagine that the lifetime contribution of hard work by a husband is more
painful than the pain a woman gets while giving birth to a child and keep her
in her stomach for nine months. Nobody wants to think this, but exploit such man
for receiving a bribe from his hard earned money.
The case of rape usually happens
when a man is avoided by women due to his low society status like poverty,
position, physical fitness, colour etc. No woman gets interested to have
relationship if a man is having second position status in the society due to the
above reasons. Where that man will go, can the law think? How that man will
enjoy sex with a woman? No woman thinks that. No Govt. thinks. So rapes are
frustrations of a deprived man who is bearing pains to hold his sex. Society
has done injustice by not liking him and accepting him as a human being. His
requirement of sex is not met. His human right to have sex is taken away by
selfish women. After rape he is severely punished and thus another additional
injustice is done to him. So the rape is the result of selfishness of females. But
only the men are blamed for that.
So the meaning of rape is hurt
done to someone’s soul and heart and not the body of someone.
