Eunuchs!! Aren't we unfair to them??

Last week, When I was travelling from Chennai to Bombay I got the chance to see many eunuchs begging for money! My mom was like "Why should we give money to them? ". I could see the hatred in many eyes that were staring at them in my compartment. My dad went to the extent of saying"How and why does the Indian Railways allow people like this to get into trains? They don't beg for money. Instead, they claim money as if they have the right to ask money to us!" I could see the irritation in him.

When I returned from Bombay, myself and my sister were sitting,when an eunuch came and asked for money.She even blessed us before asking that. My sister immediately took a 10 rupees note and gave her. She was very happy and blessed us saying my family will be happy forever! My mom asked her why did she have to give 10 for her if just 5 rupees would have been enough! I loved my sister's answer. She said " We don't provide any job opportunities to them.People don't even treat them like human beings! What else would they do other than begging for money?"
It' s a point which should be considered, thought about and something has to be done about it.

Who are eunuchs actually? I had so many misconceptions about them and it took these much years for me to know about them exactly. Eunuchs are those who are born that way!Males who are born without the male sex organ.Such natural eunuchs are very rare .The truth is that there are eunuchs who become so, forcibly and wantedly.Wantedly?? This is a news for you! Is it?
But, it's true!

There are many homosexuals in the country who are not allowed to be homosexuals. They don't get the recognition and respect. Homosexuals are considered like criminals in India.Being a homosexual is considered to be against the Indian culture. It's considered to be against the morals. So, many homosexuals transform themselves into eunuchs by operations! This is how they became a huge part of the Indian Population.It's said that they are about a million in India.

Those naturally, wantedly or forcibly formed eunuchs are not even treated as human beings. They are even denied their basic rights of living. They are not allowed to do anything they wish to do. Be it watching a movie in theatre, travelling in a bus/train, getting a visa and many more. Even in public toilets they are not allowed to enter because they are neither men nor women!And they are denied even the right to vote!! The most shameful part is that all the eunuchs are considered as prostitutes. Many men go to them for prostitution since they don't have to spend much on them when compared to the money they have to spend on women!! It's true that many have chosen that as a profession because they don't have anything else to do for their living.

Eunuchs generally have become something to be feared about. Even I heard my dad saying it. The same person, who was scolding them for begging, gave some 5 rs when she asked for money.The answer he gave was he was feared that she ll do something to him! Eunuchs are not to be feared about. They too are human beings denied their right to live! There is no guarantee that our family will not have someone like that in future.

At the same time of understanding their feelings,I found some eunuchs in the same train who behaved in an indecent way to get money from people. I strongly condemn such acts even though the fact is that We made them behave so!! A comforting news is that recently eunuchs have contested in elections and have won the same! I hope this blog would create some awareness about eunuchs at least among my friends who read it and it's high time We started treating eunuchs as humans!!

My humble request is even if We are not in a position to help for their upliftment, please let them live a dignified life!! That would be the greatest help from our side to them!

Thank you!!

Abdul Kalam!!-Did the Nation betray him???

Hello all!! This is my first blog!! And, I would request all of you to pour in your comments which I would really appreciate.Thanks!!

There were many articles in magazines,many blogs and many comments by eminent leaders(??) about the second term as The President for Dr.Abdul Kalam. Dr.Jayalalitha went to the extent of calling Prathibha Patil's candidature " A Joke played on the Nation!! "And, She called Karunanithi a betrayer! He betrayed TamilNadu people not supporting a Tamil Candidate!! All these talks just made me laugh and laugh.. I just started thinking what has this Dr.Kalam done specially for the improvement of India?? I'm very sure that I'll definitely get oppositions from many readers after I finish this article. Yet, I always have the responsibility to answer them all.

And We humans, possess the ability to think. We obviously get a question.. Why should Abdul Kalam be made the President again? What special qualities does he possess to become the President for the second time while there was only one man in the Indian history who had enjoyed it twice? Dr. Rajendra prasad.

Dr.Kalam,the so called well wisher of children of India, the so called well wisher of Indian Youth has miserably failed in giving his opinion on many issues which involved Education and Children. He had always talked in support of Children's welfare in public meetings and whenever he met students. " The Reservation for OBC's" issue which really made many students fast and do strikes.. The same Kalam didn't even give his opinion on this. The same happened with the entrance examination case. He didn't give his opinion about abolition of the Entrance Examinations for students entering into Engineering after 12 th Standard,which was an important issue then.. But, still he remains the HERO of many young people of India,which really surprises me..

He was more of a rubber stamp president except few cases like the return of OOP(Office Of Profit) bill,with some suggestions . No one can forget that he was in Russia while giving the order for dismissal of Nitesh Kumar's Govt in Bihar!! I read a article in "Ananda Vikadan" by Mr.Gnani. A very nice article questioning the same. I really appreciate his boldness for writing such an article in one of the most popular weeklies in TamilNadu.

Above all, Dr.Kalam didn't want the second term at all, initially. Later, When some parties like UNPA and NDA extended support he said he would contest if there is certainty!!Isn't it a joke played on nation?? How would a president say I'll contest if it's sure that I'll win!?? Didn't he degrade himself by saying so?? I still don't find answers to these questions.. Please help me find the answers!
