In a perfect India demanding one’s rights should be appreciated but when such demands start to interfere with the rights of others that is when not just distinction be drawn but such flimsy demands be exposed. For feminists in India boundaries must be pushed and sky is the limit but pushing boundaries too hard may result into chaos and fall from the sky can be dangerous resulting in obliteration.
Recent turn of events may shed some light on convoluted demands of feminists, sozzled in power, and if not called out may have potential to challenge constitution of India, turn criminal jurisprudence upside down and possibly another step towards colonizing India. Recently, in IIT Guwahati an alleged crime of sexual assault, in the month of March 2021, came to light. As per standard procedure of criminal jurisprudence, imbibing constitution of India, alleged accused – student of IIT Guwahati, already in jail almost for four (4) months, was granted bail in August 2021 by an order of Hon’ble High Court of Guahati – a constitutional court. While deciding on the grant of bail to student, innocent till proven guilty, Hon’ble High Court delved into investigation being complete, charge-sheet being filed, prima facie no scope of student tampering with evidence or even influencing witnesses and academic credentials of student. Anyone with iota of knowledge of law would subscribe to the order and if not order can be challenged in superior court. However, as is always the case feminists and affiliated organizations are up in arms against Hon’ble Justice who granted the bail and why not because they believe in pushing boundaries. There are calls against disciplinary action against the Hon’ble Justice doubting his credibility. A famous T.V. anchor/journalist, a vocal feminist, ran a show demanding stern action against Hon’ble Justice by bringing in various feminists on the panel. Student was shamed on the show by calling him perpetrator of crime or rapist without the word “allegedly” and so called seasoned journalist allowed this to happen intentionally. An attempt was made to create a narrative that Hon’ble Justice has committed a sin by granting bail and must be punished like a Asura (demon) in Hindu scriptures. It is interesting, from another perspective it can be said real demons are feminists and Hon’ble Justice did his Karma. In their demand to keep student behind bars, feminists even taught India a lesson in inhumanity that student, innocent till proven guilty, must remain behind bars and he should not get fair chance to defend himself.
Much less is said about the management of IIT Guwahati – alma mater of student - better it is. As soon as bail was granted to student a new narrative was created that alleged victim is being slut-shamed, threatened and so her father. And then came decision to expel student, dashing all hopes of student, indicating management clearly bowed down to the pressure of feminists. Though Hon’ble High Court kept academic credentials of student in mind while granting bail but management had no such prudence.
A bright young student, still innocent, has been snatched of his life and liberty and been convicted already. No one, especially management of IIT Guwahati, can answer who will be responsible if student gets acquitted?
