Moral responsibility, primarily lies with those heroes (men), story writers (men), producers (men), directors (men) and the actresses who invariably 'accept'' the story to fall for the stalkers.
That is not the end.
We too are responsible by making the stories blockbuster hits thereby becoming part of the vicious loop that keeps conditioning all in it.
So_ when the narrative doesn't follow the script in real life, men kill.
What? Is it also part of the scripts of those hit movies???
Oh my ww are screwed! No wonder we don't ever do anything to put deterrents in place.
Funny and sad that men go to any extent to protect their lands but not the Manushis of the Land whom we extoll as Ma.
A humble request; worst case, please declare something equivalent to 'National Dry days' when alcohol sale is banned. Declare some days as 'No Rape / No Abuse / No heinous crimes against women Day' with capital punishment for sinners and slowly include all days of the year.
Meanwhile, pl ask the bloody censor boards of our airwaves to not just refuse 'right of show' but also to initiate a Suo Motu 'Contempt of Ma' case against the violators.
And the Education Board, to re-introduce Ethics and Morals into the "Corporate currcicula" being pushed down the throats of our future Leaders, Thinkers and Nation Builders!
Remember Chanakya? To destroy a thorny bush he stepped on, he poured sugar water on it so that ants can do the work!
We hail all things ancient and glorious these days. Chanakya is old but relevant.
P.S: A movie review in a National Daily glorifying stalker lover, by a woman journalist:
"
Anupama Chopra's review: Raanjhanaa
Raanjhanaa
Direction: Aanand L Rai
Actors: Dhanush, Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol
Rating: ***1/2
Let me begin with an honest confession. As I drove to the preview theatre to watch Raanjhanaa, I wondered how I would spend over two hours gazing at a hero as plain as Dhanush.
Until this film, I had only seen the National Award-winning actor in his blockbuster Kolaveri Di video. But my fears vanished almost as soon as the film started because in the first few minutes, Dhanush’s character Kundan jokingly acknowledges his lack of good looks.
And after the first 10 minutes, I was utterly bowled over by Dhanush’s energy and charm. He’s outstanding as the spirited, street-smart son of a pundit in Benares who is a little boy when he embarks on his epic love story.
The object of his passion is the local Muslim beauty, Zoya played by Sonam Kapoor. This is a love so ferocious that eventually it consumes everything in its path.
But for the first half, it’s also superbly entertaining. Kundan chases Zoya with the ardour of a true devotee. She is artfully careless with his emotions but he doesn’t miss a beat.
The pursuit continues for years. So much so that at one point, Kundan’s closest friend Murari, played by the terrific Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, remarks: ‘Pyaar na hua, UPSC ka imtihan ho gaya. Dus saal se paas hi nahi ho raha'
...
My nation of dreamers view cinema as the biggest dream. If a Hero of their dreams tonsures his head, a million tonsured heads it is. So is the case when he grows a beard or stalks a woman relentlessly.
But then, Mayiru vera Maanam vera!
