Your video, my video

 As they play tera video mera video, the basic issues remain as murky as ever. To be sure the Indian political scene is hitting newer depths every passing hour. The primary issue is the safety of women at all levels: be it riots, crisis, strife, workplace, household, public places. Do they even have any shame left when the union ministers start tagging the ghastly videos of women being disrobed and beaten in an opposition ruled state? This is done to silence the critics of governance failure in Manipur? Can it be compared at all? When a Tribal woman is disrobed and beaten by some women at a market place over allegations of stealing, don't you think it's a social tragedy, a joint failure of our value system? Where is Mamta Banerjee in this? If the police and administration fails to punish the guilty then it turns an administrative failure. Or to take it even further, why wasn't a police personnel available within the seconds this happened to stop it. That much blame we can put on the Bengal government.  

To counter Manipur horror, the ruling party is citing soul chilling murder and mutilation in Rajasthan. It was a family feud. Long before the government fails to avoid such incidences, it's we as a society that have failed. Gahlaut government turns guilty the moment there is a proof of inaction subsequent to the crime. How can you even compare crimes falling in the category of abstract, sudden social failure at the level of a few people, driven to the act by a strictly personal reaction, to systematic, collective governmental failure as in Manipur. The main point of criticism in the devilish Manipur incidence is about the government not taking action for almost three months. There are proofs of it. The delay in lodging FIR and the subsequent police inaction. That's where you fail as a government. Whatever happened was unpardonable but had the BJP government been sensitive and considerate, impartial and honest, the matter should have been brought to justice. If justice had'n been delayed it won't have shaken the national conscience like it has done now. It's not only about what happens, it's also about what did the government do after the crime had been committed. And the saddest part is the tweat by the union minister about the Bengal video. Does it serve any purpose about a woman's dignity? What purpose did it serve? Did it undo the horrors of Manipur? Look at the gloat in their eyes as they share the nasty videos of naked helplessness. Just to counter the criticism over Manipur. So vindictive. Just to score political counter punch you become a facilitator of a video that tatters the modesty of a woman with the passage of each second of its going live. Stinking, mucking, horrifying sludge game. And this is the India they promised us! Just imagine their capacity and efficiency to find solutions for crimes against women: They just facilitate naked videos of women and then compare.
