There was this one post by a doctor that's been doing the rounds on Instagram. This one. And when I re-shared it - the OB-GYNs spoke up on what happens to women in 2021 that give birth to baby girls.
2/n
3/n
4/n
This is 2021 India. Where the birth of girls is abhorred. The women who give birth to girls harassed.

Someday girls in India will wake to a better society until then - we suffer.
More Doctors / Interns speak.

A lyricist, Padma Awardee, Sangeet Natak Akademi Winner, Multiple National award winner is my molester. He was named by 3 women, including me, in front of the media. He gets platformed, protected by major Tamilnadu parties - Something I have repeated for 6 years. I told others over the years that I had been molested by Vairamuthu.
Silverscreen did an in-depth interview about his Predatory ways then. Given below. It is long form.

Majority Tamil society, my own music fraternity shamed, abused me in an orchestrated manner.

Yet - despite being an open secret and what he is - Tamil Cinema Industry banned me from working in retaliation by the foul mouthed President of the Dubbing Union, Mr Radha Ravi - who was then in the DMK and is now in the BJP. That brings us to Radha Ravi.

This case is still ongoing.

silverscreenindia.com/music/features…
Mr. Radha Ravi belongs to one of the most influential film families in Tamilnadu, has held various offices across different Unions under the FEFSI, which controls all the Unions in Tamilnadu for Film related work.
He has been the Nirandhara Thalaivar (Permanent President) of the Dubbing Union, Banning anyone he feels like when he feels like.
Women have been forever unsafe and they have been subjected to vulgar abuse.

One woman wrote in a Facebook post on why Radha Ravi is calling her to his residence - She was banned promptly.

She tried to fight, but gave an apology letter and rejoined the Union for her survival.

Mr. Radha Ravi also flaunts the Dato Title, the highest state title conferred to most deserving recipients who have contributed greatly to Malaysia.

A Malaysian Govt official confirmed he was never given that title - YET despite proving it, every Film that he has acted in carries the 'Dato' title.

Financial irregularities to misuse of Union funds, to the Corporation of Chennai razing the Dubbing Union building to the ground - The Film Industry refuses to even let out a pip against him leave alone condemn.

Nothing has happened to his life or career
The man is now 72 years old - has lived out his entire life.

thenewsminute.com/flix/radha-rav…
Singer Karthik has had a pattern of harassing and misbehaving with women, and really young girls.

Many of whom I have personally known.

The music industry continues to platform him.

He sits as Judge on Indian Idol (not surprising because they also platform Anu Malik)

Nothing has happened to his career.

The women who named him, however, many have retreated from sharing stage, projects, with him, losing opportunities and money.

Even more stunning has been the collective support seniors in my own fraternity and 'aware' colleagues have been giving him.

They continue to give out the message to women that you can report, but we will only platform the molester because we need each other for mutual benefits.

I am confused with people who say
Outing molesters who use Holi s an excuse is an attack on Hinduism.
Outing Vairamuthu is an attack on Tamil.
Outing MJAkbar is an attack on Journalism.
Outing Karthik is an attack on music.
Outing Carnatic Musicians an attack on Carnatic Music
The bigger question - why do communities shamelessly come together to protect their molesters. Are you all in it together? I mean what else do you all gain from protecting someone that’s identified as a molester?
I mean - Singer Karthik, Radha Ravi and Vairamuthu have a larger support system in the industry and in 5 years since 2018’s 2nd wave of MeToo, not a small percentage of that support has been taken to set up an ICC / POCSO unit in any channel, union even as they employ children.

We were discussing dowry stories on Instagram and this is the doctor edition.
Most lady doctors are forced by their parents to marry into families that order them to stay home.
If the groom has been unable to bag a PG seat the bride's parents need to pay for it as dowry.
If the bride is "just an MBBS" then she is allowed to do PG *only* in streams that the groom and his family *allow* her to do. She is also allowed to work only a few hours and told her degree is useless vis-a-vis her husband's.
Common Doctor dowry demands are
1. Building a Hospital for the groom and his family (if they are a family of doctors)
2. Extending an existing hospital
3. Paying for the PG seat of the groom

Lands, money, luxury cars are extra fittings along with a grand wedding.

Trigger Warning - CSA, incitement to suicide
Four 10th Standard boys in a Chennai, Ashok Nagar school have bullied, sexually harassed their classmate continually over the past few months.
Including physical violence, they have taken the boy to the school bathroom,
..made him kneel, forced him to masturbate, tried to sodomize him, beaten him up took a knife to him and asked him to kill himself or threatened to kill him and said they'll push him off the terrace (since there are no cameras) and say it was a suicide. ...
These boys have gone on to threaten saying if he reported, they are powerful / connected and they can murder the parents and him. (Remains to be seen if it is even true or if they just lied through the teeth).

The boy's mother seems to have begged them to let her son go.

Thread alert: Actor Radha Ravi.
This small team that has been constantly been buried under cases by the Dubbing Union under the guidance of Actor Radha Ravi has finally been able to prove the charges vide a Labour Commission Order.
The Labour Commission granted an Order against the Actor Radharavi and his Office bearers in the Dubbing Union to follow the principles of Natural justice when taking action against its own members and democratically respect the right of members to air their grievances.
As of today over a dozen cases are at various stages against the Dubbing Union, leading to dissipation of several lakhs from Union funds, which in principle is meant for member welfare.

Is it possible for a girl to share call recordings and evidences of dowry demands to the police without revealing her identity? Her parents won't allow her to file a case but she wants to.
How does one go about this?
For those who don't understand the language - 'Aadapaduchu Katnam" Or Sister-In-Law dowry is very peculiar to the Telugu States (correct me if wrong) There is a dowry rate card followed based on status; plus a dowry demand is made separately for the sister / cousin of groom.
If the Groom has no 'own' sister - the 'Aadapaduchu Dowry' is anyway collected and given to even a 5th cousin who stands in for the collection, which is again pocketed by the groom's family.
