Include mother in the Identity of a child

Include mother in the Identity of a child
Every human person is a unique person. Physiologically, psychologically, or intellectually we might be different but ultimately we are a child to our parent; brother and sister to our siblings; nephews and nieces to our parents’ brothers and sisters; grandchildren to our grandparents and relatives to whom we have blood relation. In one way or the other we are all interconnected being in this universe.
Practically every day we read in news report about the ill fate of mothers. We hear that mothers committed suicide, raped, strangled to death, beaten up by husband because of dowry, forced to do abortion and prostitution. The Times of India on July 9, 2014 reported that One Stop Crisis Centre ‘Gauravi’, a centre in Bhopal where women victims can seek help by directly walking in or by calling a toll free number, has witnessed more than 500 calls and 41 walk-ins in just three weeks. India is a place where there are many female goddesses being worshipped, is this supposed to be the status of our mothers in India?
The question asked by the Supreme Court as to ‘why are mothers ignored?’ should not be just a question but should evoke immediate action from government and people. Government need to recognize that mothers are part and parcel of a child. The Hindu reported on July 17, 2014 that mothers hardly match the authority a father commands in official documents necessary to prove a person’s identity. Indeed mother’s connection with a child is much deeper and stronger than what patriarchal society sees it. From womb to tomb we always find that there is always a mother.
The mother figure is the most centric figure in a child’s life. From infancy to adulthood, a mother’s role in influencing and shaping her child’s life does not cease. She is seen to take on various roles in her lifetime for the sake of her children and her family. She adopts roles of a playmate, a teacher, a friend, a companion and support system to her family.
The mother is the one who accompanies during childhood-playing with them and teaching them various things, schooling days- teaching them how to read and write, youth days- how to cope up with peer pressures and other teenage problems, while searching job they would accompany the child to office or pray for them, and while working they would prepare food for the child.

Mothers have done so much for the growth of a child. Is it not her fundamental right to be part of the identity of the child just like the father? In agreement to Mr Madhav Kant Mishra from Allahabad, who filed the petition in court that ignoring the parenthood of the mother in government documents is in gross violation of the Fundamental Right to Equality under Article 14 of the Constitution, mothers should be acknowledged and given equal importance as the paternal figures.

Is Politics just a blame-game?

Is Politics just a blame-game?
Politics is an opportunity for politicians to lead, guide and bring development for people. Politics is to enhance democracy which is a government ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’. Politics and democracy aim at uniting people, transforming society, respecting people and provide equal rights and opportunities for citizens of a country. Politics and Indian democracy is in a pathetic stage in this present era because politicians instead of encouraging each other, working together for betterment of society are not fighting against one another and degrading the dignity of one another. Politicians are now intruding into private lives of individuals.
Narendra Modi is regarded as the ‘tea boy’, Rahul Gandhi as a ‘fraud Gandhi’ and Arvind Kejriwal ‘Mango man’. The election campaign of political parties for the General Election 2014 has become a campaign to degrade one another. BJP goes after Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Congress goes after BJP and AAP accuses Congress and BJP. Power, prestige and wealth have taken control over politics. Politicians no longer respect one another. Congress President Sonia Gandhi accused BJP of indulging in divisive politics by “sowing seeds of poison” (zeher ki kheti) and instigating violence. Mulayam Singh Yadav said that Narendra Modi presides over ‘mass murder’ of Muslims. Mr. Modi accused the Congress of being “high-class elitists with a feudal mindset,” and said that the Samajwadi Party, is a “Samaj-Virodhi (anti-social) Party”. Mr. Kejriwal accused that “Mukesh Ambani has Modi in one pocket and Rahul Gandhi in the other... He can allow Modi to have a five-year term and also give Rahul Gandhi five years to rule”. Gadkari claimed that Kejriwal had levelled “false, baseless, scandalous and defamatory statements” when   he was listed as one of the most corrupt politicians by Kerjriwal. Narendra Modi was remarked as “maut ka saudagar” (merchant of death) while Kejriwal is called as an “Anarchist” who is now a ‘Maoist without weapon’.   This cycle of blame - game has continued since the launch of the campaigns and doesn’t seem to stop. Is this kind of campaigning truly the best way to win the general public over? Where is the ethical responsibility and respect of human dignity in our so called political leaders?
Politicians need to realize that they are people’s representatives and need to set good example in words and deeds. Political parties need to campaign for election in order to win but they should not let power and position control their values as human beings. Politicians need to take political campaigns or rallies as an opportunity to spread values among people and not to degrade one another.
