How the Bhartiya Janta Party has destroyed the concept and hopes of Ram Rajya

From Kathua to Unnao, girls being brutally raped like they are every other day but these two cases, taking the nation by the storm have one thing common. The rapes have open sanction from the ruling political party of the day and the populace of the regions. And the Bhartiya Janta Party stands a common factor, the common support system for rapists from any part of the country.

Indeed, the silence of the top power guns, especially the entire women leadership from the party is deafening and shocking.  External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, the Women  & Child Minister Maneka Gandhi, the always quick to respond Smriti Irani, all such respected leaders of our country are silently standing beside the rape accused. Their silence is a consent for potential rapists that they can rape the country's women, as long as the votes keep pouring in. The entire Modi Cabinet has killed any hope we had for a Ram Rajya, Atal Bihari Vajpayee so promised us.



People might say that religion does not matter in such cases, but I say it does. When the ruling party, the Chief Minister and even our Prime Minister seems okay to have 8-year-old children raped in a Temple, so much so that their minions come out on streets to support the rapists, our religion matters.
What kind of Hindus are we, to allow girls to be drugged, raped and killed in our Temples?  What kind of Hindus are we to shout Jai Shri Ram to show solidarity to rape accused? 

As I read about Unnao, where a BJP lawmaker is accused to rape a girl, I can easily connect the threads to distant Kathua. Same lust for power, the Bhartiya Janta Party is so hung over on. But how does it justify raping of little girls? When I wrote my second book Avenging Act, I read someplace how rape is about power. Yes, the macho image of our Prime Minister and his trusted confidante in Uttar Pradesh will certainly get a good boost. Let me remind you about the Ram Rahim Case where the BJP government in Haryana supported a crowd, a cavalcade to glorify the rape accused. Or have you forgotten the Chandigarh DJ who was stalked by a son of a BJP leader?

Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Lal Krishna Advani, the leaders who laid the foundations of the Bhartiya Janta Party would never have imagined that their party would be a shield for the rapists. That the ideology of a Ram Rajya will become an excuse to abuse and rape.

We Indians have let so many Asifas happen. We have been the crowd that supported Unnao and Kathua. We choose these people to represent us again and again. But it is not those girls who stand naked today. Yes, we tore their clothes down but it is we the society that stands naked today our core exposed to the World.As to how we let these things happen and how rape is a normal stuff for us.

An 8 year old girl was drugged, raped, murdered and then raped again to satisfy the lust of a few men. It has had happened in India since times forever, nothing new to it. But the way police and the politicians are baying for more lustful adventures, it is high time we stop this beti bachao non-sense. 

It seems that the Narendra Modi government wants us to save the girl child only so that their supporters can rape them while the leadership stands in silence and let them do any heinous act as they seem fit. As long as the votes keep coming. As long as the power and comfort of the throne is within their reach.

Strength in Kindness: The Quiet Strength of Lubna

Meet Lubna, a woman with a soul of warmth and resilience, who is no stranger to life’s brutal storms. Amid a charming town with moody weather and unpredictable tides, she proves that kindness doesn’t mean fragility. Her story, threaded with love, and quiet strength, is an invitation to question the courage behind kindness and the strength in calm. When Lubna first arrived in the windswept town of Doverby, the townsfolk were charmed by her gentle warmth. But little did they know, her kindness wasn’t born from softness; it was honed in the fires of past trials. As Doverby’s quiet days are threatened by hidden turmoil, Lubna’s strength and resolve rise, surprising everyone who ever mistook her kindness for weakness. I can still remember the day I first saw her. It was the kind of day that forces you to question everything, including why the weather is so stubbornly dramatic in this part of the world. The clouds rolled in like they had a vendetta, yet the sun broke through in patches, cast

An epidemic of loneliness: Why are we lonely in a World so full?

In the town of Havenwood, an unusual epidemic takes over—not one of physical illness, but an outbreak of loneliness. When Lina, a fiery yet secretly tender-hearted skeptic of romance, meets Quinn, a free-spirited artist questioning the same ideas, they are forced to confront whether real connection lies beyond romantic love or if they are truly doomed to solitude. It was a crisp day in Havenwood, and the sky was brooding—dark clouds laced with impatient energy before a thunderstorm, as if even the heavens felt the town’s growing melancholy. It wasn’t the kind of town you would expect to be cloaked in loneliness. Quaint stone cottages lined the narrow, winding roads, and the trees had that sage-like stillness that you only see in stories and dreams. I hadn’t been here long when the problem struck me like a slap in the face: everyone was obsessed with finding The One, as if every single person was but half a person, wandering through life like a lost sock in search of its pair. How did a

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would
