Brotherhood saves Raja Choudhary from eviction
Abuse of men is unfortunately not taken seriously and it happened with Raja in Bigg Boss 2. Though Raja won the testimony and is now back, this has again given rise to the concept of men���s rights and their despicable position in society.
TRUE AND genuine victory, they say, comes often unheard, silent and unexpected, as it came to the thousands of those silent and not-so-silent warriors and commandos of the Save Indian Family Campaign as they saw their brother Raja Choudhary, defeat Sambhavna Seth. This is being referred to as the reality show ’ Bigg Boss 2’ on Colors channel, where the concept of people staying together and being eliminated for rude / bad behaviour is followed. They are constantly watched by an unknown person, referred to as Bigg Boss who monitors them and settles disputes, if a need arises.

What was most surprising and unbecoming of the watchdog was the gender bias in favour of abusive women. Sambhavna Seth is a feminist who had abused Rahul Mahajan earlier on the show and as well showered expletives on him and his family. But that matter was settled amicably. But when Raja Choudhary objected to Sambhavna’s male abuse, she started shedding crocodile tears and complained to Bigg Boss who without listening to Raja, nominated him for eviction.

It was then that the 3,000-odd warriors of the Save Indian Family jumped in and voted continuously for Raja – this was in addition to his other fans, which loved and adored him. Finally the verdict came on Friday (September 19, 2008) - when Raja was saved from eviction thanks to the tremendous support that he received not only from the Save Indian Family but his other fans as well.

Though Raja won this testimony and was back on the show, this again gives rise to the concept of men’s rights and their despicable position in society. Was the tension that Raja underwent plus the stigma of nomination for eviction that he carried, really worth it? The answer from a logical standpoint would a big ’no’ without attaching any significance to undue sentimental balance in favour of any gender. Moreover, for how long is the society going to put unnecessary pressure on men to accommodate bad and abusive women? For how long sexists like Bigg Boss are going to annihilate men’s rights to satiate their own personal desires?

One may argue Raja was abusive towards Sambhavna but so was Sambhavna towards other males. Abuse of a man by a woman is women empowerment and abuse of a woman by a man is crime? Is it not double standard at its best? The answer to the above again from a logical standpoint would be a very acceptable ’yes’. And such double standards may still be acceptable from a layman but not from someone like the Bigg Boss who is not only watched by millions around the world, but is also expected to be fair in his approach. Against this parameter, the Bigg Boss fails miserably having ignored material facts and failed in providing an opportunity to Raja to prove his innocence.

The need for such a requirement also arises from the fact that the Indian diaspora is heavily influenced by celebrity behaviour and showing abuses against men as acceptable sets an undesirable precedent and poisons the society. It jeopardises the social position of both men and women in society.

The Save Indian Family Foundation, Bangalore, is one of the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) strongly campaigning for the Save Indian Family. It urges the Bigg Boss not to repeat such incidences of sexism and gender bias to prevent further damage to an already-deteriorating society. This note ends with a feeling of relief at Raja’s victory.

.To Kareena below: You say that women are given more rights than men because they are, according to you, the weaker sex. First of all, are we in an equal society with equal rights and responsibilities to both men and women, OR are we in a society where women get more rights because of being physically weaker than men? Secondly, if women are the weaker sex, how can they ask for equal opportunities and entry into the army???? Can you answer that??? The problem with women is that they want to take the advantages of tradition and modernity. They claim to be weaker when it suits them and then claim for equality when it again suits them. Men are idiots to have allowed women to take this extreme advantage of tradition and modernity.
.i have been watching this show regularly and feel very strongly that most people are being really unfair and judgemental about raja choudary. every single person has a weakness or two and everyone in the house has a past and i don't understand how they are always pointing fingers at raja...he is the most genuine guy on the show...so what if he is an alcoholic, or is not with his wife...which male or female is perfect. people support rahul cause he is from a political background and turn a deaf ear and a blind to all the nonsense he says and does...in what way is he better than raja or sambhavna?
.96% of people who die in the line of duty, in the course of work, during wars and accidents are MEN. Men pay 82% of taxes, pay higher tax than women, higher rate of interest for loans availed, get lower interest on deposits, pay higher corporation/ municipality tax etc. With all this, they get no support from the govt. instead, men are gifted with draconian laws such as 498A and DV and a host of other pervert laws by perverts in the feminist congress govt.

Men being our first line of defense or paying more taxes does not give them a right to be abusive towards women. Contributing to the society has nothing to do with this issue. Neither does having extra society shields give any woman a right to abuse a man. The bottom line is men and women are part of this society and need to respect each others existence. Women are given extra rights because they are considered a weaker sex, but that does not give any woman a right to abuse a man. Back to Bigg Boss issue, I am glad that Raja was not evicted at that time, and I AM really glad that Sambhavna is now out. The fight that happened between them went way out of proportion than it needed to be only because Sambhavna took advantage of being a female, and I find that very insulting, being another female.
.MAn Well fare Society,,, Wat did you do for all those females getting harassed by you and your alikes... All those rape victims and domestic violence victims... If you can judge a situation and keep your mouth shut.

Kaya, what did you do to those millions of men who suffered domestic violence silently at the hands of women??? And in the name of gender equality, you abuse men and want to create a woman-oriented society where women rule and men are their slaves!!!! Hell with women empowerment!!!!
Unless you are a victim, Kaya u have no business to comment. Men are victims in this society. Your comment even smells of Men abuse.
Oh poor girl, are you even aware that there are 6 different laws to protect women, but none for men. Other than putting false allegations on males and bad mouthing them what have sick females like you done. You better keep your mouth shut if you don't know the reality. Do you know every year 80, 000 males are committing suicide as compared to 40, 000 females? So what have the females done? Do they not have any social responsibility? Just sit and feed them and pamper them? Sick females like you are detrimental to the very existence of the society. I will just pray that you get well soon
.This society is Sick.

Women consistently belive that Men cannot be victims. This is the mindset of most Indian society, hence this society is sick. The moment women are responsible for their actions, they cannot file false cases, can't make melodrama and allege allegations, this scoiety will improve from sick to better. So Meena you are right in a way but your assumption that men are always wrong is sickening,
.No more the abuse of men will be tolerated in this coutry. Let all put hand together and protest against abuse of men. NCW/WCD and all corporate think abuse of men is social service in thsi country. No more.. wake up indian men and demand men well fare minsitry.
