Acharya Prashant responds to a question about a tragic incident where a man in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, slit open his pregnant wife's stomach to determine the gender of their child. He begins by stating that we only mourn when violence becomes overt and physically manifest. The underlying violence that was already present is often overlooked. The fact that the couple already had five daughters was a form of violence in itself. He questions how their marriage took place, suggesting it was likely not a love marriage. If the woman had been given the opportunity to use her own discretion to choose a partner, she would have chosen anyone but a butcher like him. This lack of choice is a form of violence that we refuse to acknowledge. Acharya Prashant explains that we only pay attention to such incidents when they become sensational news. He points out the low representation of women in the Indian Parliament, questioning how many tickets political parties give to women. When women are not present in parliament, who will raise their issues? The very men who exploit women themselves cannot be expected to raise issues in their favor. He notes a paradox: a husband who beats his wife is considered somewhat bad, but the one who comes to save women is considered much worse by the women themselves. This is because women are conditioned to accept their subjugation. He further elaborates that this is a war, a war of one gender against another, where one gender dominates the other, enslaves them, and tells them to die if they do not conform. He laments that women themselves are not their own well-wishers, so how can men be expected to care for their welfare? He highlights that women are the biggest proponents of superstition and patriarchy, which perpetuates their suffering. He points out that the sex ratio at birth in India, which was improving, has worsened again since 2019. This is a continuous process of genocide. He concludes by stating that we are not concerned with the crime itself, but with the spectacular nature of the crime. The real issue is the pervasive, everyday violence that goes unnoticed.
