A Village in Gujarat banned the use of mobile phones by unmarried women
According to the new development took place at Suraj village in Mehsana district Gujarat, the use of mobile phones by the young girls and unmarried women has been strictly banned. The resolution in this regards has been passed by the panchayat of that village which will come in force from immediate effect. Further, if a single woman found using the mobile phone, she will be liable to pay the fine of Rs. 2000/- says the report.
Nothing is impossible in India, the
most amazing things take place right here. Crime against a woman is highest in
India and despite such kind of statistics, the government has hardly done
anything much to stop the crime against women. But instead, they are trying to
impose more restrictions on the women. According to the news published in the
national daily, Suraj village in Mehsana district in Gujarat has passed the
resolution according to which the use of mobile phones are banned for teenage
girls and young women.
This barbaric resolution is enforced
on the young women perhaps for snatching the remaining freedom from them. The
resolution does not end only with restriction, in the event of any young woman
found using the mobile phone she is liable to pay a penalty of Rs. 2000/- every
time.
The most surprising fact here is
that this development took place in the hometown state of our Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. The head of the village (MUKHIYA) Devshi Vankar has told the
media that the consumption of liquor by young women is strictly banned. The use
of mobile phone by young women leads to spreading of a nuisance in society.
“However the young women can make the limited use of mobile phones which
belongs to their parents or relatives,” said the sources. Vankar further added
that the similar ban for the school boys will be announced soon.
According to Vankar, the mobile
phone becomes the distraction for the unmarried young women. “It takes them
away from their regular household duties they suppose to perform as a female
and it also creates the negative impact on their studies. If any unmarried
young women found owning or speaking on a phone, she will face the fine of Rs.
2000,” said Venkar. He further added that the informer will be offered 10%
commission for tip-offs.
This ban has come on the backdrop of
earlier ban implementation by another called ‘Aligarh’ village in the similar
district that has managed to implement a complete ban on the use of mobile
phones for the young girls from the age group of 18 and less. The sources also
quoted that the mobile devices are corrupting their minds.
According to the sources, besides
the young girls, their families also have to face the punishments by sweeping
the roads. This was announced by the panchayat of Basauli village in the
similar district.
According to me, this could turn out
to be the inception of new policies which will emerge from the villages of
Gujarat and soon it will spread to the other parts of India. looking at this
new developments it makes me think deeply about the kind of mentality some
people has and they also try to force the same on others regardless of one
likes it or not. How different the Taliban’s were compared this? Perhaps they
were little more severe? How long will it take for us to become that serious?
We really need to think twice about these kinds of issues and if possible, stop
the spark before it catches the fire.
