 In this era of people (here, women) facing harassment, eve-teasing, rape by men, post their issues anywhere socially always are reverted by the statement, not all men or say #NotAllMen. Social media is seeing this hashtag for the past 10 yrs. and this phrase is older than your great grandfather. How? Miss Wardle: Men are such deceivers. Mr. Tupman: They are, but not all men. This is the scrape from the popular novel 'Pickwick Papers' (1836)  by Charles Dickens. Whenever any crime against women takes place anywhere in the world, men, who do not get involved tend to be a 'good man' impose the same hashtag also abbreviated as NAMALT. They consider this as their defense mechanism. Feminism has always focused on equality among everyone despite gender. Even feminists initially found it worthy and this phrase was also part of 'The Feminist Movement'.  Whether it is about the 2015 Bengaluru mass gathering and molestation, murder of a woman police officer in America by ...

T ransgender people are also known as  'Hijras' . They've always been subject to mockery and are objectified. Most of them spend their life by begging or being a sex slave. Transpersons aren't successful in gaining respect and recognition from other people.  Koovagam Village  of  Ullndurpettai , Tamil Nadu, celebrates India's biggest transgender festival that is the  Koovagam Festival.   This  village is also the abode of deity  Aravana. Aravana  or  Iravan  is the God of transgenders who was born before marriage to its parents   Arjuna  and   Ulupi.  He was the one who sacrificed himself to Lordess Kali on the 18th day of the Mahabharata war to make Pandavas conquer the battle. Aravana desired not to die unmarried and since he was about to die the next day, women refused to marry him. They were scared of widowhood and the post-life turmoils from the next day of marriage. However, Krishna in  ...

Recently the world “observed” WORLD MEN’S DAY on 19th November. Similar to every occasion the men’s day followed the same trend where people rather update their stories than wishing their special ones personally. The question we should ask ourselves is do men really get what they deserve? Does the pseudo feminism presiding over the minds of most of the people around us have served the “patriarchal society” their fair share of the pie? We know the answers, right? I’m not going deep into the minds of the over passionate feminine promoters, rather I’ll be sticking more on the surface of what men got on their day. I saw posts with sad taglines, quotes, or slogans for men. Yes! I want to ask such people; are men around you reduced just to their sorrows? Or they don’t mean anything else than their sad phases, their struggles, and their pain? Some of them updated their stories saying “we are with you in your depression, your mental health issues (not going to blabber about this either), etc....

Menstruation is still considered taboo among Hindu (many other) cultures. However, Hindu Literature or Vedas has no mention of anything bad about this biological process.  Women are barred from entering public places, touch food, and are also not allowed to see any man during periods. History says that seeing a man on the day of menses may make her pregnant.  This Navratri, are you willing to hear an astonishing story?  A long long time ago in the Satayuga , when Raja Daksha  was unwilling to accept the Shiv-Sati love, then Sati on wrath, burnt herself to death. Shiva with the loss of her beloved, filled with both rage and grief. With no other option left, his yearn made him lift the perishable body of goddess Sati and do his ' Tandava'. And pledged not to stop until the body decays.  On the other hand, Vishnu was terrified because the rage of Shiva was gonna destroy the universe. He then used his Sudarshan Chakra and split the corpse into 51. This resulted in ...

Non-binary gender is a phenomenon of the existence of more than two genders. This concept of enbyism is going for millions of years. Hindu mythology to consists of such postulation. There were traces of 'ayoni'  or non-vaginal sex, gods taking avatar in different sex or gender, the transformation of  Amba  to  Shikhandi.   Furthermore , Krutivasa Ramayan  also involves a tale where 2 queens conceives a child together then name him  Bhagirath. If we move back to the millennial period of India, conviction, and conception of gender neutrality are highly unacceptable. Due to the occurrence of social media, human interaction, and awareness, now it is legal for whomever we want to marry despite their gender. There is a fine line difference between sex and gender. Sex is anatomical, whereas gender is abstract. Scrolling Instagram feed and seeing an individual's bio, you may find pronouns which are mainly preferable gender pronouns (PGP) or 'used' gender ...
