THE RECENT EXODUS ||| SIR & IFA-25

  THE RECENT EXODUS SIR & IFA-25 SARASIJ MAJUMDER Large amount of Misinformation are spreading around ‘SIR’—particularly in West Bengal, by TMC Cadres, Leaders, Supporters, and Sympathisers. ‘GHUS-PETIA” – the illegal Muslim immigrants are backbone of TMC Votes, apart from ‘A-B-C-D-… Shree’ benefit holders, Clubs, and Harmads. I keep  aside the TERROR part. In Bihar—in recent assembly election—nobody died, no re-voting required for     any BOOTH—and no Vote Loot! What a shame for West Bengal! Kerala also playing same game like West Bengal, but more silently! For posterity—I prepared this BLOG, and sharing for honest but un-informed citizens of India. SIR ( Special Intensive Revision): The SIR's aim and   effort is to " Ensure That No Eligible Citizen Is Left Out While No Ineligible Person Is Included In The Electoral Roll ." As per the notification, the new electoral roll will only be released after claims and objections have been resolved. “SI...

Romeo-Juliet law & Underage sex

: NEED TO FILL A VACUUM:
SARASIJ MAJUMDER

The Supreme Court recently sought the Centre's response on application of the Romeo-Juliet law to India to decriminalise consensual teenage sex as a PIL claimed millions of under-18 girls and over-18 boys engage in consensual sex but a boy gets arrested for statutory rape if the girl gets pregnant and her parents lodge a complaint with the police.

What POCSO says: -

  • Under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, 2012, consent of a child below 18 years of age is immaterial and any person who attempts sexual activity with such an underage person would be guilty of sexual assault.
  • Under Section 375 of Indian Penal Code, there is a condition when   “… sex with a girl below the age of 16 is rape even if she had given her consent”.

The Romeo-Juliet law: -
Prior to the Romeo-Juliet law which is in force in many foreign countries, statutory rape charges would apply in cases of teen sex only if the boy was an adult.

Since 2007, many countries have adopted the Romeo-Juliet law which protects the boy from arrest if his age was not more than four years from that of the girl who is not an adult.

The plea:

  • Petitioner-advocate Harsh Vibhore Singhal pleaded with a bench headed by CJI D Y Chandrachud that many boys, who were just over 18 years of age, were stigmatised on being arrested for indulging in consensual sex with girls in the 16-18 age group.
  • "This grey area of law, a legislative vacuum, needs to be filled by guidelines on how statutory rape laws would operate by assessment of consent of 16+ to 18-year-olds before indicting the consenting adults," he said.
  • The petitioner quoted a study conducted for the health ministry, according to which 10% of women in the age group of 25-49 years had their first sexual intercourse before the age of 15, and 39% had before the age of 18 years.

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

OPERATION SINDOOR ||| ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

  UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In a poem titled   ‘ বিদায় অভিশাপ ’—(FAREWELL CURSE)--, Tagore wrote: ........ রমণীর   মন   সহস্র বর্ষেরই   সখা সাধনার ধন । । [ ( To understand) Mind of a woman, my dear, ||You need a devotion of thousand years. ]—- Translation is mine. In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas. When the darkness of evening started falling upon us, he told me: “….Mate—I understand Machines, Horses, Dogs…...
