Male Victims in India, always doomed

Via Marc A. Article here. Excerpt:

'RECENTLY, THE Aarushi murder case made quite a sensational headline With all the major news channels running bizzare with their never ending assumptions and stories. Minister of Women and Child Development, Renuka Choudhary also took the police force to task for not handling the case properly and using derogatory language for Aarushi and demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the same. But what everyone conveniently forgot here is the fact that there were two murder victims, the second one being the male servant, Hemraj. But barely do we hear any news of the unfortunate male victim in the twin murder episode in Noida.

But whilst there has been a lot of gung-ho about delivering justice to a 14-year-old Aarushi, which is fairly acceptable as well, but such a provision does not mandate depriving a male victim his share of justice as well. People, society, authorities, government, media, all the sundry involved, have conveniently forgotten the male victim in the whole episode. Also, the father has been made the easily sell-able scapegoat accused as per the convenient male victim theory. Even the CBI taking custody of the father Rajesh Talwar for about close to two weeks now, has failed to find any evidence against him and he has spent two weeks in jail.

Every year, on an average 75, 000 men are ending their lives as opposed to 35,000 women. Yet these figures never make their way to the public. The fourth pillar of democracy, the media has to take this responsibility to highlight the plight of men in this country who are living in a very delirious situation at the point of being target to injustice any moment.

Men need to understand the scenario and they need to highlight their woes to the government to get their grievances redressed.'
