I want to share one incident today, which happened with me.

One Brahmin uncle who is around 90 years old, was cheated by his relatives in real estate business. My friend told me to meet him.

So I had to meet him. He told me to come near his home. I reached there.
The moment he saw me I think he guessed that I don't belong to his caste.

While we were walking to his home, he first made me to sit in front of his house ( apparently on the steps to the some shop which he had given for rent!)

My friend had told me that he is a devotee of
Ramakrishna Ashram. So I started asking him about the books and his routine. He named very few books which he had read long back. Then I asked him how he was cheated. He narrated the story in 3 minutes. As I was feeling dust in my palms and pants I felt bit awkward & Humiliated.
I got up and said 'I think its time for me to leave, sir' He asked me about my degree.I told him about my alma mater & I started walking.He then said," come I will show you my home".

The moment I entered home,he made me to sit on chair in the hall(near door!)&Called his grandson
His grandson was preparing for NEET-UG. I gave him some tips about preparation. He offered me some biscuits and few roasted ground nuts. I took them. The plate was so small that it could accommodate only Four Marie biscuits!

Then he gave Chapati on the same plate!
He didn't even ask me to wash his hands! ( As Hand wash Basin was inside his house!)

He served me two Chapatis with 2 Tea spoon of the vegetables.

As I finished having it, he brought water from the kitchen and told me to wash my hands outside his house!

I took glass of water
And went outside to wash my hands. He then offered some old cloth to wipe and the moment I wiped off my wet hands he threw it on the floor ( may be because no one else in the home should use it later!)

He didn't even introduce his family members! I was really feeling humiliated
But I couldn't help much. I told him that I have prepared lunch at my place and I have to go now and I left the place.

None in the family except small children greeted me with smile and said 'Hi'. The family members treated me as if I came to their home for robbery!
And he is a crorepati and has factories in Bengaluru!

Imagine a Brahmin crorepati doesn't allow person like me to wash hands inside his home. He couldn't offer good sized plate to eat! He couldn't even offer cleaned towel for wiping!

He followed his 'Shuddhi'(ಮಡಿ) compromising
Man's respect and dignity!

Yet people say Dalit people are having upper hand in the society because of reservation.

Thanks to my education, that helped at least for me to enter his home (hall). Otherwise I would have sent off in few minutes only!

Jai Bheem

Marital rape. A small thread.

In India @Manekagandhibjp openly spoke about this. But unfortunately there is no law which can make spouses to go to station or court.
(Even if there will be law still it's of no use!)

I want to share 2 stories about this shared by my OBG friend.
1. Young female brought to Emergency triage with profuse bleeding from her private part.Her Mehandi was still there.Duty MO asked patient history. On asking She said this is her first night!

The husband had such a forceful intercourse that spouse has second degree perineal tear!
She was bleeding profusely and was shifted to OT immediately and her tear was repaired with transfusion.

2. Young female next morning of her first night noticed she is bleeding. In emergency triage on examination it revealed that she had genital tear!

Remember these tears are

Alright, thanks to Tweepie for giving 80 likes to this post.

The case was from remote village from Siddhapur Taluk, Karwar district.

The patient was my friend's mom.

She was 60 years old, diabetic and hypertensive. She had complaints of fever, dry cough, chest pain
She got the x-ray done and report was given by the nearby radiologist.

She wanted to visit the physician and unfortunately that day physician was infected with corona virus and she had no medical assistance nearby. She was all alone and she couldn't go to nearby cities.
Plus she was not privileged to opt private hospitals.

She was managing the mild pneumonia with home remedies!

When those home remedies never worked and she called her daughter to look after her.

She came all the way from Mysuru to her hometown to look after her mom.

2017 ರಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಹೋರಾಟದ ಜೀವನ ಮೊದಲಾಯಿತು..
ನಾನು ಹೋರಾಡಿದ ಹೋರಾಟಗಳು ಇಂತಿವೆ..
ಕಾಮೆಡ್-ಕೆ ಪಿಜಿ ವಿರುದ್ಧದ ಹೋರಾಟ
ಸೈಂಟ್ ಜಾನ್ಸ್ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಯ ಹೋರಾಟ
ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಸೀಟು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೆ ಸಿಗಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಹೋರಾಟ
ಜೆಎನ್ಎಂಸಿ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ಸೀಟು ಹಂಚಿಕೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧದ ಹೋರಾಟ

ನೀಟ್ ಪಿಜಿ ಅವ್ಯವಹಾರದ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಹೋರಾಟ
ಇವೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೋರಾಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ.

ಇನ್ನು ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿರುವಂತಹ ಹೋರಾಟ:

ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರದ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಅಣ್ಣಾ ಹಜಾರೆಯ ಹೋರಾಟ ಕಾಲೇಜಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು
ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರದ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಹೋರಾಟ

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಟೌನ್ ಹಾಲ್ ಮುಂದೆ ಸಿಎಎ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಹೋರಾಟ
ಶಾಹೀನ್ ಬಾಗ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಹೋರಾಟ
ಜಾಮಿಯಾ ಮಿಲಿಯಾ ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಹೋರಾಟ
ಉನ್ನಾವ್ ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರದ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ನಡೆದ ಹೋರಾಟ..

ಮೂರು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹೋರಾಟ ಜೀವನ ಹೀಗಿದೆ.
ಕೆಲವೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಸೋಲೂ ಉಂಟಾಗಿದೆ.

ದೆಹಲಿಯ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಲಯದ ಮುಂದೆ ಕುಳಿತು ಅತ್ತಿದ್ದು ತುಂಬಾ ಸಲ ಇದೆ.

ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿ ಮೊಕದ್ದಮೆ ಹೂಡುವಷ್ಟು ಹಣ ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಜನರ ಬಳಿ ಹಣ ಸಂಗ್ರಹಿಸಿ, ವಕೀಲರಿಗೆ ವಿನಂತಿಸಿ ಹೋರಾಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ.

ಉರ್ದು ಮೂಲದ ಈ ಕವಿತೆ ನಿಮಗಾಗಿ ಅರ್ಪಣೆ..

ನೀನು ರಾತ್ರಿ ಬರಿ ನಾವು ಚಂದಿರ ಗೀಚುವೆವು
ನೀನು ಜೈಲಿಗೆ ನೂಕು, ನಾವು ಗೋಡೆಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಬರೆಯುವೆವು

ನೀನು ಎಫ್ಐಆರ್ ಹಾಕು ನಾವು ಸದಾ ಸಿದ್ಧ ಎಂದು ಬರೆಯುವೆವು
ನೀನು ನಮಗೆ ಕೊಲೆ ಮಾಡು , ದೆವ್ವಗಳಾಗಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಕೊಲೆಗಳ ಒಂದೊಂದು ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ
ಬರೆಯುವೆವು
ನೀನು ನ್ಯಾಯಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಜೋಕುಗಳನು ಬರಿ,
ನಾವು ರಸ್ತೆಯಲಿ, ಗೋಡೆಯಲಿ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಬರೆಯುವೆವು
ಕಿವುಡ ಸಹ ಕೇಳುವ ಹಾಗೆ ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುವೆವು

ಕುರುಡನೂ ಸಹ ಓದುವಷ್ಟು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಬರೆಯುವೆವು
ನೀನು ಕರಿ ಕಮಲ ಬರಿ, ನಾವು ಕೆಂಗುಲಾಬಿ ಬಿಡಿಸುವೆವು
ನೀನು ಭೂಮಿ ಮೇಲೆ ದೌರ್ಜನ್ಯ ಬರಿ
ನಾವು ಆಗಸದಲಿ ಕ್ರಾಂತಿ ಬರೆಯುವೆವು
ಎಲ್ಲ ನೆನಪಿಡಲಾಗುವುದು‌ ಒಂದೂ ಬಿಡದೇ ನೆನಪಿಡಲಾಗುವುದು
ನಿನ್ನ ದುಬಾರಿ ಇಂಕಿನಿಂದ ಸುಳ್ಳಿನ ಕಂತೆ ಬರೆಯುವಿ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿದಿದೆ,
ಆದರೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಅಗ್ಗದ ರಕ್ತದಿಂದಾರೂ ಸರಿ ಸತ್ಯ ಖಂಡಿತ ಬರೆದೇ ಬರೆಯಲಾಗುವುದು.

ಎಲ್ಲ ನೆನಪಿಡಲಾಗುವುದು ಒಂದೂ ಬಿಡದೇ ನೆನಪಿಡಲಾಗುವುದು

The silence and inaction of @UN always made India to fetch heavy price!

In 1947 during Pakistan invasion into the Kashmir, @UN did nothing, we have lost part of the Kashmir!

In 1962 during Chinese invasion into the Aksai Cheen area @UN did Nothing, we have lost Aksai Cheen!
In 1965 during Pakistan invasion, @UN did nothing and we have lost so many soldiers in the battlefield.

From 1968-1971 during Pakistan atrocities on Bangladesh people, @UN did nothing, before 1971 Bangladesh witnessed mass murder by Butcher of Bengal Tikka Khan! Then Indian PM
Had to plea in front of the world to help Bangladesh people to get their land and rights back but got nothing. Eventually it led to war.India helped Bangladesh to get freedom.India lost brave soldiers!

In 1967,China again wanted to attack India, @UN did nothing and we have lost
