Feminism in 2G Spectrum

This scandal spectral view has me dumbfounded. It takes a sharp turn in each corner. While main conspirator is lurking in Tihar, the “co-conspirator” is still on loose. Probably, they are waiting for the results of Tamil Nadu elections. Dayalu Ammal, 60% stake holder in Kalaingar TV is let off the hook because the poor woman does not know any language other than Tamil. One of the main benefits Karunanidhi has reaped with his “Tamil only” campaign. Anyway… Kanimozhi, 20% stake holder is saying that she does not even know the operations of Kalaingar TV. She is also a “mere” stake holder. It is always people who hold big money does not know the operations in this big case. Fair enough? I can even forgive this… but “Kanimozhi is just a woman”… What kind of bull $#!% is that? I still trust and believe in Law that does not discriminate based on gender, status, and other bias. “Treat Kani compassionately as she is a woman” – Great statement… Don’t we have women prisons in India? Don’t all the allegedly accused go there? It is worse than a kinder garden girl saying “boo hoo… I’m Daddy’s little girl… you can’t hurt me…” Kushboo has lent her support to Kanimozhi as a “women and a mother”. Wow!! Now that Kushboo supports let us change IPC like this “if the accused know only Tamil, reports ill-health, and/or is a woman, no charges can be reported”. Jayalalitha never had played “woman” card even after being sexually harassed right inside the State Legislature of Tamil Nadu. She stood up for herself and avenged like Kannagi… I’m not saying she is 100% perfect… just that she never wanted someone to rescue her. If you know how to pitch for a central minister seat and get it, have some nerve to stand up and fight. Even if you don’t have any pride for yourself, don’t kill women’s.
