A recent article in the Times of India titled, “Steadily falling infant deaths show a sudden rise in ’09” talked of rising infant deaths in the Mumbai city for the year 2009. The article had some interesting observations to offer. The figures that came out in the article are given below for ready reference.

To,
Hon’ble MP,
Rajya Sabha.
Ref: SIFF/032010/01
Respected Sir/Madam,
Sub: 90% of common citizens say NO to “Women Reservation Bill’ in NDTV Poll as it is undemocratic and unconstitutional.
We, Save Indian Family Foundation, are an organization dedicated and committed to the cause of spreading awareness about the misuse of existing gender biased laws. We consider it as our moral duty to inform all who are in imminent danger of passage of any similar gender biased laws and are doing it selflessly.
90% of common citizens also say NO to “Women Reservation Bill’ in the NDTV poll as it is undemocratic and unconstitutional. The link of the poll can be found at
NDTV Poll Result
As you are very much aware, the bill for reservation for Women in Parliament and State Legislatures, called, ”The Constitution (One Hundred And Eighth Amendment) Bill, 2008” will deal a death blow to the health of Indian democracy and will permanently change the nature and character of Indian polity. Besides, it can signal the end for most male MPs who will be restricted to contest from 67% of the seats in Lok Sabha and State Legislatures.

Better the less said about the misuse (read intended use) of Section 498A IPC, the most draconian law ever formed to infringe upon the civil liberties of individuals and rip-apart the family system of India. This one law wreaks so much havoc on Indian men and their families that it drives them to suicide. Every year close to 58000 husbands commit suicide, every nine minutes a married man ends his life and in the last 12 years 170,000 husbands have ended their life unable to bear the domestic violence from their wives and in-laws and the apathy of the Government and Society towards them.
Added to that, the Government has formulated Weapons of Male Destruction (WMD) like Section 498A which mandates arrest of innocent persons merely on the basis of complaints without any need to investigate into the complaint or corroborate it with evidence. Not only that, even the judiciary uses the Section to abuse men. Often when the complaint is received, husband and his family are not given bail unless they accede to the financially extortionary demands of wife and her parents.

Well today, 24th Feb 2010, Sachin Tendulkar - the living cricket legend made history. He scored the first double century in One Day International (ODI) cricket. No one has ever created such a record in cricketing history so far.
But one day before that, Sachin did something more remarkable. He made a statement that is going to create more problems for men in the society. He promoted "Legal Terrorism".
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Sachin-bats-for-campaign-against-domestic-violence/articleshow/5605016.cms
The title says, "Sachin bats for campaign against Domestic Violence" but in reality it ignores the male victims of domestic violence and men falsely accused of domestic violence by their wives. I would like to bring forth certain facts here.
