The consequence of gender imbalance

The consequence of gender imbalance – The Third World War

There have been many prophecies about the Third World War and its probable causes. From Oil to Water, from Nuclear Weapons to Intercontinental Missiles, from Afghanistan to Iran, we have concocted many tales of the next world war. But the next world war would be because of the gender imbalance.

Gender imbalance around the world has been on the rise. The developing countries are seeing a decline in their sex ratio. We have gravely undermined the importance of the other sex in the sustenance of human life on this planet. A male dominated society is has its foundations in discrimination and inequity. Such foundations of a society or nation are detrimental to the world.

A nation lacking the humbleness, politeness, and grace of the feminine gender would be aggressive and intolerant. The bigotry of the world's extremists has been on the rise in tandem with the decreasing sex ratio. The suppression of the female gender bolsters the ego of the male counterparts. This leads to the inward spiral of increasing violence at home and away. With the decreasing sex ratios, people will look towards usurping the females of other nations.

Some of the most deadly wars in the past have been fought over females. From the Ramayana to Mahabharata, the deadliest battles were fought over women. If the disparity in the numbers of males and females grows, the frustration within the society will increase and more wars will result. With each girl child killed, we near our dooms day.

The God Delusion

People all over the world create delusions around themselves, a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidences. In India alone we have 33 crore Gods to choose from, for the 100 crore population; a sort of personalised delusion for everyone. In addition to that there are crores of God men. The social structure is so formed that it makes us oblivious to the delusion. We continously doubt our own abilities, and associate results to the blessings of some higher beings. The degraded self-esteem is what pushes you deeper into the delusion. To quote Douglas Adams - "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The belief that the world was created by some God and that everything in this world is His creation is fundamentally flawed. If he created everything than who created Him. Putting the creation of everything under the ambit of one entity was to simplify the exp...

The Goa Travelogue : Trip of a Lifetime

Our group of friends shifted hostels in the second year and took rooms close to each other and the friendship grew stronger from there with each passing day. Thus was born x0x-ers (3, 4 – 0 – 1, 3) i.e. rooms 301,303,401 and 403. We spent countless hours planning trips, parties, discovering music and other random shit. Goa is a destination every college group plans to visit during their college days. This was one trip we just had to make. After hundreds of hours spent on planning the trip, many last minute changes and one person pulling out we finally managed to make the trip with a bunch of our European friends joining us there for what would be the most memorable trip of my life. I as a writer am incapable of putting in words the sheer fun we had on this trip so most of you would not realise how beautiful some of the moments were. Day 1 I arrived before everyone else travelling from Mumbai. Riding 30 km on a scooter solo from Madgaon to Calungute was a sign o...

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l...
