Please disregard the prior post. OR the subject need to be changed to "Vishy Washy's stand on Rape".
Response: This is the strangest apologetic response I have ever read. Is the following what you will tell the girl you just raped? Is this what you will tell her parents and brothers and elders and the law? Here is another suggestion. Go over the post you made on "Rape" with your Mother and your father. Perhaps they will enlighten you - better late than never!!!. I do not feel like sending you my regards. GL ----------------------------------------- You guys are turning out Vishwanath into Pepsi and Coca-cola. Things are blown out of proportion. Regards Vishwanath ---------------- Well said Gilbert! Remember now, these are the people who are the public faces of the Right Wing Hindutva movement ( just as wicked as the Rt Wing Nuts among Muslims and alleged Christians ). I would have excused this vile comment from Mr. Shirwaikar if 1. He made a slip 2. He was being glib or 3. He was not conversant in the English language >From his own statement, he is quite au fait with English.....and he shows NO regret at that horrendous statement he made. And of course, came Staju Jacob to Vishy Washy's defence with total nonsense like "if the woman agrees that the person who has raped her, has a full right to do so" Can you believe these NUTTY statements! This must be a new Goa! ( soon to be Bihar ...with NUTS like this roaming around there ) Wow! jose ===== My views on Uniform Civil code- Who cares!!!! Hi Vishwanath, Before you go into long philosophical discussion on any subject; And after you have tried to give a cop out excuse of your poor English; You owe the readers of the Goan Forum an apology for your Totally absurd, tasteless and vile posting on rape and your ritual. You should be man enough to accept your lapse in judgment. You just don't seem to have gotten how bad your post was!!! Dr. Gilbert Lawrence ========================== Vishwanath Shirwaikar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: [Dear Staju, I fully support your views on UCC. UCC is being opposed by the conservatives among the religious communities who fear losing their religious identity on implementation of the UCC. This is not true but is assumed to be true. I think that Hindu and Christian religious leaders have no problem with the UCC as both are open to reforms in their respective religions. Also, Goa is a good example before India where Hindus and Christians maintain their religious identity inspite of UCC being in force. In a TV show being beamed on a private channel, Father Dominic of Delhi Catholic Association asserted the implementation of UCC provided there are no communal riots in the country. Surprisingly, VHP, RSS leaders supported the stand taken by the Father. But, the greatest opposition came from the Muslim leaders of AIMPLB (All India Muslim Personal Law Board) who felt that UCC would wipe out Shariat (a law applicable for the Muslims) and its Islamic identity. Their stand was secularly supported by the Samajwadi Party and the Left parties who justified AIMPLB on this issue. There lies the problem. When certain political parties are hell bent on opposition to the UCC, it is quite impossible to bring such a bill in Parliament by any group. The condition of UCC is similar to the Women's reservation bill which is pending in the parliament for a long time due to political opposition by certain groups.
