Hats off to the movie – “Jail”
The recent bollywood flick “Jail” by Madhur Bhandarkar deserves an applaud. It not only exposes the real truth behind the so glorified dowry cases (all of which are false) and how Section 498A is being misused by women to extort men, but also exposes the truth of Indian Judiciary. Treat your eyes,

The tip of the iceberg melts
That, marriage has become tumultuous, for Indian men, is no longer a hidden fact as evident from the huge media coverage given to men’s rights activists recently. And the myth about marriage, as projected in Indian context – “Blissful for men and torturous for women” – is coming to its logical end with the rise of men’s rights organizations like the Save Indian Family Foundation, the All India Men’s Welfare Association, etc.
A lot of false propaganda had been done by radical gender based extremists about women facing problems in marriage to the tune that unconstitutional and anti-male laws have been framed to finish off men systematically. And because male-disposability comes natural to the society these whimsical stories about men as oppressors and women as oppressed were never challenged.
This led to severe problems of men and they were under-reported as well because the society was not ready to accept men as weak otherwise who would risk their lives to protect the society. Every man on earth has faced this bias at some point of his life and he is trained to accept it as a way of life.

A cop all over, cooks up evidence
Bengaluru, Nov. 20: When a city police inspector claims that he was in two different places at a given time on the same day, something seems to have gone terribly wrong.
The officer is A. Manjunath, currently serving as police inspector with city special branch. He was inspector at Yeshwanthpur police station when the incident happened in 2007.
According to the station diary, Manjunath was at the station and with an accused, writing a panchnama at the same time. On another day, he claims he was busy recording the statement of five witnesses, while his official papers say he was on leave, sanctioned by none other than his DGP!
The police also seems to have duped the court by submitting a dead man’s witness statement, which made the court even issue summons asking the deceased to be present for the hearing.
Mr R. Kumar (name changed) was accused of dowry harassment by his wife who visited the station on July 26, 2007. “She filed a complaint at 1.45 pm. Inspector Manjunath claims he visited my residence between 2 pm and four pm on the same day for panchanama. But his station diary shows he was present in the station till 4 pm”, claimed Kumar.

Mard ko bhi dard hota hain
By: With Alisha Coelho, Kranti Vibhute and Urvashi Seth
‘Harassed’ by female colleagues, MiD DAY reporter Varun Singh finds nobody is willing to help a man in distress. P.S. it’s International men’s day
When a woman complains to a bystander that she has been molested or someone is following her, the guy is at the receiving end of abuse or a few punches, knocking the air from his lusty sails.
On International Men’s Day, today, we witnessed that the same treatment is not meted out to men who are harassed.

| Bachao! Urvashi, Alisha and Kranti pretend to harass Varun, but none of these men came to his aid. |

Men of the World Unite

The “dominant sex”— male — is not so dominant after all. Forming solidarity on the eve of International Men’s Day (IMD) on Thursday, pro-men activists in Bangalore are set to launch an All India Men’s Welfare Association and demand creation of a Men’s Welfare Ministry, among other things.
The Association has drafted a charter that asks for a holiday on IMD, paternity leave, and a study on the treatment men get in different spheres of socio-economic life. The Association has asked all male employees in Bangalore to take mass leave on Thursday and “declare their independence and celebrate their freedom”.
“Man is depicted as a fiend who is out to exploit women. It’s reflected in the societal attitude, right from the mother’s lap and lasts till the grave,” bemoans Virag Dhulia, a researcher for the Save Indian Family Foundation that was formed a few years ago to provide legal succour to men fighting marital cases.

Celebrate International Men’s Day – the Allen Solly way
| November 19 is the International Men’s Day and Allen Solly is bringing it to prominence. This is the best chance to prove how much you love and care for him on his special day. For the first time, an apparel brand is taking an initiative to celebrate International Men’s Day in an exceptional way.Through this promotion, Allen Solly targets women and urges them to gift their men things which are extremely important to them, which however are met with disapproval from their partners. Things like TV time, time to hang out with Friends, the freedom to have a few drinks and time to play sports / games!!
Allen Solly has introduced collectible kits which have permission cards for all these items which give a man freedom to pursue these activities for three hours after presenting these cards. This is treated in a humorous and funny manner and is in line with one of the Allen Solly values of freedom. |

International Men’s Day
November 19, 1999 marked a serious steer in the HISTORY and FUTURE of the world for ever. For the first time ever someone thought about the “Invisibly Abandoned Diaspora” aka the men of the world and marked November 19th as the INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY and later on the concept was picked up by many countries including India.
Save Indian Family Foundation and its allied NGOs observed International Men’s Day in 2007 and 2008 by conducting bike rallies and other awareness events. This year, the Bangalore Chapter of the All India Men’s Welfare Association is being launched on 18th November, a day prior to November 19th, the International Men’s Day.
Before talking of what International Men’s Day is and why we should celebrate it, let’s look at some obviously invisible facts of the society,

International Men’s Day – A Festival
See the video below, this is a just a tip of the iceberg of the issues faced by men. However, International Men’s Day is not only about problems of men. It is about recognizing men for what they and not for the crap spread about them by male haters aka the feminists who have succeeded in shielding all men’s virtues with their bogus rhetoric false statistics.
November 19th has been celebrated as International Men’s Day since 1999 started in Trinidad and Tobago and is slowly being picked up by many countries including India. This year the Bangalore chapter of the All India Men’s Welfare Association (AIMWA) is being launched. AIMWA was launched in Hyderabad as an initiative.

Press Release – Launching All India Men’s Welfare Association
PRESS RELEASE
Sub: Launching the Bangalore Chapter of the All India Men’s Welfare Association (AIMWA)
About AIMWA:
All India Men’s Welfare Association (AIMWA) was launched in Hyderabad on the 11th October 2009 to work in the area of elimination of all kinds of discrimination against boys and men. Today, this press conference is being conducted to launch the Bangalore Chapter of the same.
Why Men’s Welfare:
Ask someone about the problems of women and a list would emerge that would never seem to end. Ask about men’s problems and all one sees is blank faces. Does that mean that men do not have any problems? Or is it that there is no awareness for the same, as mirrored in the statement – “Absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence.”?
- If we look back, in the last 62 years of Indian Independence not a single rupee has ever been allocated for men’s welfare from the Union Budget.
- Not a single constitutional or quasi-constitutional body ever been formed to study men’s issues.
- Not a single study otherwise also ever been conducted targeted to study men’s issues.
- Not a single scheme ever been envisaged for men’s welfare.
