I'LL NOT BE SILENT-2


Respect not in words but in action – II



"Ladki hai bahar mat niklo , Samay par Ghar Aaja , yeh mat Karo who mat karo,dhaang se bheto…" these are the things girls are taught from very teenage. Do you think the same is taught to boys?

As we say that Charity beings from home, the same way if we respect a mother, a sister, a daughter at home the same should be followed in society, as we have learned or heard that children learn from the surrounding, the way we behave in front of our kids they will behave the same.

Giving an example, once I was traveling in public transport where I saw a 6-year-old kid holding a book and reading it, I was very shocked and I asked the mother of a kid, in today’s century of technology kids don’t prefer books they love to play games on mobile, how come your kid is reading a book, the lady replied that children learn from the surrounding, so we never take mobiles or laptops in front of our kids we prefer reading books, playing outdoor games, this is the way he is not used to technology much.



Coming back to the point, India is the top country where crime rates against women are at high; especially the dowry death rates are high.


Nation Crime Report Bureau says that daily 5 women are tolerating the physical and mental abuse in the hands of the husband and relatives, out of 2 women are losing their lives daily.





In ancient times the law was oral so the punishments were simply limited up to fines. As soon as the law came in written form the punishments became stricter. 

Looking at the increasing rates of crime against married women, the Indian Constitution enacted the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, which came into force on 26th October 2006.

The act was made to empower and protect married women against unwanted demands of dowry and physical and mental abuse in the hands of husband and relatives.


Indian Penal Code has a separate section which deals with such offenses, Section 498A which says that husband or relatives of husband(Blood relations) who misbehave or mistreats the husband shall be punished with imprisonment of 3 years or fine or both. Whereas the section says there is no limitation for filing a case of 498a, but it should not be taken at ease that a wife can lodge a complaint anytime, she can file a complaint within 3 years of the incident that happened.

According to the report, 9 cases out of 10 are reported about dowry cases. Indian laws are too sensitive towards women, and therefore section 498A was enacted to protect married women to have a safe and equal place in the matrimonial home. Dowry process is very old in India but excess demands have created mental and physical harm to the woman.

 Section 498A says that the wife can go and launch a complaint against the husband and relatives in the nearest police station; she can also take the help of the women cell to file a complaint. If needed she can concern a learned lawyer and take his/her advice.

Indian constitution added section 498A to Indian Penal code to protect women from domestic violence.



 Remember women are the most beautiful creation of God, and respecting her is not only our duty but also our foremost responsibility towards God. Respect her at home and automatically she will be respected in society, in the nation and also in the world.

Criminal Defamation Law against right to freedom of speech.

“ Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body; it calls attention to the development of an unhealthy state of things'' -By Winston Churchill. Right to freedom of speech and expression is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Indian constitution part 3. Article 19 (1) states that “all citizens shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression” . Though fundamental rights are not absolute in nature they are exercised within reasonable restrictions. A human being has no standing in the real world if he can not exercise the right to freedom of speech and expression freely. He becomes utterly invisible in this world. The right to freedom of speech and expression fortifies our identities and it is of extreme importance to express one's view in a democratic country. Article 19 (1) does not only mean the right to freedom of speech but also freedom to criticize freely. Be it any person, politician or government. ...

Company Prospectus

                                                     The most basic benefit of company law incorporation is that it invites the general public to invest in them. A business with a rating of incorporation owes its establishment to either a special Act of Parliament or company legislation. A corporation is more than just a legal entity. It's more of a legal device for achieving a social and economic goal. As a result, it's a multi-faceted political, social, economic, and legal entity. As a result, the term "business" has been defined in a variety of ways. It is a method of cooperation and organization used in the functioning of a business. According to Lord Justice Lindley, an organization is "an association of several persons who contr...
