For Sale: Indian Woman for Rs. 1000 (US $20)!

[Guest guest]

It will be rather easy to comment from the cosy confines of our homes, but how

many are willing to come and face the kidnappers head-on and try to stop this !

(not me, sorry !!!)

 

Or, like a conservationist ad from Singapore to save sharks say to stop eating

shark-fin soup, cos when the eating stops the killing stops. Likewise for

prostitution, when the f...... stops the selling will ! Crude but true, as it

is on ground zero !

 

In my line of work, tourism, we come across instances of clients seeking

whores. I remember this rather pathetic case of this Indian settled in

California who came to India with his wife annd daughter. To get the

conversation on (his) track, he told me how booze and women are provided free

in Vegas provided one is an easy gambler. Someone in his family is a good

(easy) gambler and the casinos sends a private plane to pick up his likes. He

never had money to pay his bill (we let him go as he was a friend of our

directors nephew, and we recovered the money shortly after), but on his last

night in India he had tied up with some pimp, and spent the night in some seedy

hotel near Delhi airport while his wife and kids stayed on 'credit' in a decent

down-town hotel.

 

On a drive from Agra to Delhi, speaking of travel experiences, a very

'respectable' man from Singapore, recommended a penis massage in Bangkok, that

to while his wife was a seat away with her eyes closed.

 

The life styles in America, Canada, Japan, Singapore, many countries in Europe

are parasitical. People go there to have a good life, indulge ! I have lived

in London for six months and travelled a bit. Don't use plastic bags, the ads

are absent in the UK, one hears more of it her. And plastic bags in abundance

whether you go to Asda, Tescos, Spencers, where-ever. I have seen an Asian

gentleman, not stoop to bick up a bag of sugar he dropped from the shelf and

which had burst. If you are living in the so called "developed" nations, you

know what I am talking about.

 

I met an Indian heritage (just 2 generations old) Senator from Malaysia, who got

on my goat by continually speaking about corruption and the political system in

India. When I suggested that if he felt so strongly about it, based on his

experience and that he really cared, he should come too India and do something

about it. He shut up !

 

I say the West is out-sourcing it whores as demand and cost have exceeded supply

back home !

 

So as horrorfying and titillating as this tale is, it happens because of

unbrideled indulgence. Whether we turn to the gym or God, it is because the

doing has finally caught up with us. We turn to spirituality (help ! help !

Devi Maa !) when the going becomes too tough, and we are unable to carry those

'evil layers of fatty indulgence' any more.

 

India had a system of Devadasis. I think Caraf explains this quite nicely

Let us work on our-selves so that we can become fragrant for others, and show

the way.

 

In anguish,

 

Vir

 

 

 

 

Devi Bhakta <devi_bhakta wrote: New Delhi (January 20, 2006):

Trafficking in children and women to

and from India is now a booming business and, believe it or not, a

young woman can be 'bought' for as low as Rs.1,000 (about $20).

 

And in brazen violation of the law, even minor girls are being

trafficked, to places as far as the Middle East and the Philippines

for prostitution as well as pornography, with the Indian law

enforcing agencies looking the other way.

 

These are among the shocking facts revealed in a path-breaking survey

by the New Delhi-based Institute of Social Sciences on "Trafficking

in Women and Children in India".

 

The victims in the trade are from poor families, some of which are

forced to "sell" their women because of grinding poverty, or girls

lured to cities often with promises of finding them a place in

Bollywood.

 

"Trafficking is, without doubt, a very lucrative business," says the

748-page study, which was sponsored by the National Human Rights

Commission and funded by USAID. "It requires a low investment but

ensures a high profit."

 

Over a quarter of the 160 traffickers interviewed said they spent

less than Rs. 5,000 to procure a girl, and the cheapest price they

paid was just Rs. 1,000.

 

In some cases, however, women cost as high as Rs. 90,000 (US $2,038).

 

Women were sourced from within India and from Nepal and Bangladesh.

They were supplied within India to Rajasthan, Kerala, Tamil Nadu,

Pondicherry, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra,

Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Orissa, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir as

well as Thailand, Kenya, South Africa, Bahrain, Dubai and Oman.

 

The traffickers admitted even sending women to the Gulf, Britain,

South Korea and the Philippines for pornographic purposes.
