Scripted Protest

Scripted Protest
Surly many of you will agree with me, that during past few days a few Hindi News television channels have dedicated significant time slot for discussing live in relations this happen because congress party lead Maharashtra government recommended this, otherwise in our country still a discussion on a sex related topic is treated as social taboo by a considerable large population. The question is that why it become essential for government to make legal provision for the Live in relation? Will this law be capable of solving the problem or this going to be proved yet another weapon to use as tool for harassment? First of all let us look at situations which are underlining the need of recognition for Live in relations especially when we are living in a country, which since the ancient times has historic tradition for Gandharva Vivah a marriage without celebrations and rituals and even the Niyog [Woman seeking temporary sex relations for the pregnancy with the consent of her husband who being physically handicap to perform his part in the process of birth of children] was not looked as the action to be reason for hate and social isolation. The most significant and very distinctly known characteristic of time is its changing nature and forcing surroundings to cope with these changes. In the most parts of globes among the human population this is universal understanding and accepted fact that for becoming successful one need to be master in coping with and able to sustain changes generated by the time. Since the time of independence, in these sixty odd years our country has successfully tackled the changes posed by the time. In the time of sixty years of post independence, Indian women’s journey has covered miles and miles and presently she is marching shoulder to shoulder with her opposite sex partner on every walk of life. Today in the Indian cities and even in villages, baring some remote area of the country, women are coming out from the boundary walls of the home for the education and for the jobs, hence the interaction between the two human sexes is increasing at very vigorous rate, here by interaction I don’t mean necessarily about the lustful behavior, but surely also don’t deny the increased chances for the existence of physical relations between duo. In these situations Live in relations start to appear on the social platform because in our country bigamy is taken as breach of law. In most of the cases woman is on the side suffering most because still our society is male dominating one and all the blames become the share of woman. People opposing this recognition of Live in relations are taking this as bypass for the bigamy law and an effort to destroy several centuries old Indian tradition of marriage and family. On the other side supporters are arguing this as woman protecting law and essential for keeping the social environment having certain moral norms. I have started this with television channels and concluding with one more news of the television channels and this is related with one of reality show Bigg Boss. News reports lodging of F.I.R. against the show for spreading vulgarity. The amazing facts about this complain is that it is lodged by the President of Youth branch of the political party, which is supporting recognition to live in relations. Frankly speaking I am unable to write the script properly, on the moral ground which is more harmful for our social life, telecasting swim suit scenes and leg massage of girl by a boy or giving by law recognition to live in relations.
