Without Eve I Would Still Be A Glint
We had a good time away from T.O.
Upon return I checked out DC. Quite a few references to SIF, sif, 498-A, feminism, shoorpanakha.
I called Jawahara. She was away. Ams - missing. Suj - vacationing. Dee - packing. Called others. Finally managed to get hold of Kaveetaa. What follows is our IM conversation.
t: How are you
K: Kahaan ghayab thay?
t: Houston, Sugar Land - family commitments
K: How was the trip? Did you have anything to do with Congressman Tom DeLay's retirement?
t: No! - late nights-sleep deprived - did we miss anything?
K: Oh! nothing much, some spamming
t: Achcha, by whom?
K: By men
t: Woh tou hum bhee haiN
K: Not your kind of men
t: Oh!...We are puzzled and it is still early here
K: Check this out : http://www.saveindianfamily.com/
We did.
t: Since when divorce became a disease
K: Like HIV aids?
t: Yes
K: I don't know
t: What is 498A?
K: Don't be difficult. It is late here! Google!
t: Am being lazy
K: 498A is a section of the GoI Act of 1935 that has been incorporated in IPC to keep haraamis straight
t: You mean to keep gays straight?
K: Don't put words in my mouth?
t: Words? Mouth?
K: And don't even venture there -- I will mention this to M.
t: OK
K: (smiling)
t: I thought 498A was to prevent victimization of women. What is SIF crying about?
K: Ask them. They say the women are using 498A to get back at men with the complicity of authorities
t: That means the law is being abused.
K: Exactly
t: But aren't laws are being violated everywhere? Smart lawyers and loopholes?
K: It is like your Hudood Ordinance where the victims of rape are the guilty ones and have to prove their innocence
t: Why are they blaming globalization
K: They see in it an emancipatory force
t: What is wrong with making 498a bailable?
K: Nothing. But what does it have to do with men dying earlier than women? That is a lifestyle choice.
t: Lifestyle choice? Men dying earlier? Is that what Malimath Commission reported?
K: No. But they do say most injustices on men are perpetrated by women.
t: Yes?
K: Including giving birth to them.
t: Is that an injustice too?
K: They think the world is stacked against them.
t: Is it?
K: Ask M
t: What does M have anything to do with 498A
K: Ask M
t: Ah, I see! You are being wise
K: I have to go to sleep now. Give my love to M
t: Fine. So how should I behave if I am accosted by a SIF jehadi
K: You are the expert. You should know!
