Inda has the highest rate of violence against women. As far the cases were registered here is always high. According to the NCRB, there was increase in rape cases from 1971. It is estimated that a new rape case is reported in India every 30 minutes.
This is not just a matter of our country. More than two million women are sexually assaulted in the United States each year. Elsewhere, this is a big problem. Now there are 5 times as many attacks as 10 lakhs.
Some say that this increase is due to the fact that women in our country are increasingly open about what is happening to them and the media is giving it a lot of publicity. But that is not true. A study conducted by universities in the United States found that 88% of girls who were raped did not disclose it. If this is the case even in the United States, what about our country?
In the History of Female Cinema
The film plays a role in this attack. Telugu cinema has portrayed women the worst in India. It is no coincidence that Andhra Pradesh is the leading state in violence against women. Other states are behind them. So, it would be good to analyze the history of a film that portrays women.
Early Movies
The film is a sequel to the play. The themes were myths and social, family and love issues. Their stories, based on the same equation, were that good triumphs over evil. The female characters were like that. In those stories, we can see whether a virtuous woman succeeds by defeating bad women or a bad woman becomes good. They were all like religious doctrine or doctrine.
Family Pictures
Like drama, cinema was intended for family audiences. Many of the older members of the family were politely told and shown in the film that day in a manner that was not disturbing. Such a film, which is full of emotional events, ends by upholding the orthodox individual values, family values and society values of the time. In it, the female characters, who appear as mother, sister, girlfriend and wife, are portrayed as accepting the orthodox values that have prevailed until then. Those who are not will be defeated.
Holy Love and Masala Dance
As the number of cities and colleges increased, so did the number of theaters there. There was a new category of films that focused on college girls and boys. Innovative Holy Love equations broke profit records. There was also no significant change in the concept of woman. Their acting was a bit more natural than the female characters like the old puppets. It was common for them to dress in polite costumes in the western world during Valentine’s Day, to dance and so on. The stories become complicated and many girlfriends become matches trying to get a hero. The tragic story of getting the best heroine or she or he dies also made a profit.
In addition to presenting social and family issues, a group of half-naked dancing women appeared in the villain’s castle. There will be a lot of violence and rape scenes in these to make it clear that the villain is evil. In fact, they are intended for viewers. The villain and the bad woman are sometimes seen together. Half-naked appear only occasionally in between movies. The so-called extra actresses have little to do with the story. Moreover, they had no dignity in the society. The only reason why such a person acted in a film aimed at a family audience was that a Malayalam film failed financially.
New Generation Heroines / Prostitutes
As the film became more profitable, more and more people started coming to the film industry. As the competition intensified, the heroine took off her clothes and started dancing. There was no other way to get more attention. Instead of the old mature family heroine, there was a movie with more than one heroine who eagerly pursues the hero in order to get emotional. Apart from the extra actresses, the obscene dances performed by the heroine were also on the rise. As well as supernatural hero and violent scenes. The overall characters were created to convey the hero’s majesty.
With the end of their novelty, the film shifted to the extramarital affairs of the protagonists and the polygamous relationships. Direct sex characters began to speak openly. It has become fashionable to oppose the old to become more modern. Female characters talk a lot about food, jewelry, and sex. The profits of the filmmakers skyrocketed. The girls were ready to do anything on screen. Commercial prostitutes from other countries also came to act in movies and channels.
Intellectual female characters began to appear instead of the agile woman in order to gain the support of the educated in the city. But even there, they portray the woman’s progress as undressing, sex, and being outspoken about it.
There is a continuation of the old family picture even today. Kind but current heroes are superhuman. The current family pictures show that the heroines are spreading for the very rich, the beautiful and the powerful. Or even if they dress normally for the difference of the story, he is still superhuman to the audience who knows about the greatness of the actor through other news media. We often hear in the news media that the actresses are lucky to have the opportunity to act with him.
Television Channels and Advertising
The main programs of the channels are related to cinema. All the changes that take place in cinema can be seen in television serials. Now their favorite stories are about extramarital affairs and violence. The channel fills their time with movie clips or self-praise interviews depicting heroines and heroines, song illustrations and song imitations. Mega-serials that provide free viewing have a greater impact on people than movies. They add inspiration to family gatherings. The channels maintained a profit by making obscene dances in the film performed by the heroine in order to get the hero, from children to adult women.
Advertising has a purpose other than to give the film self-satisfaction. They help to sell the products. Even there, they use brutality to get quick attention. They focus on the female body and beauty and promote a lifestyle based on products. In advertisements selling everything from clothes, gold, soap, perfumes, to mobile phones and laptops to computers, these animals dare to dress up as idols or to show that they are aiding and abetting sexual misconduct. When it comes to profit, the revolutionary channel is no different. (They argue that there is no other way but to maintain a channel. The channel may be a vow given to them by the revolutionary.)
Newspapers
Newspapers are not bad at portraying women as consumer goods. The only difference here is that the image is not moving. Advertisements for clothes and gold that glamorize women come with great emphasis printed on multicolored glossy paper. Of course, these ads are what people pay attention to first rather than the news. These affect even children. Some newspapers and the, infamous yellow newspaper, gives a picture of a half-naked woman with any news. Newspapers also play a role in idolizing celebrities. By keeping their likes and privacy in the limelight and making news, they hide the real problems and help the capital and the capital.
Movie Posters
Our cities and villages are full of movie posters. They are everywhere. Most of the time, half-naked heroines look at the camera (i.e. viewers) with emotion and dance. Dressed in Western costumes, their body shape impresses young and old alike. These posters also teach people the glory of the hero. These live movies affect even those who have not seen the movie.
Literature
Reading is harder than sight. Fewer people read literary works. Yet literature also plays a role in making man an animal. Novels and stories depict the private lives of individuals, whether imaginary or not. After writing four stories, poems or novels, the media will make them famous and give them the title of headquarters feminist, progressive and cultural hero / heroine. The society embraces without any questions any misinformation offered by these intellectualized apolitically. We can also see the inclusion of the motivation of the work in the curriculum of school and college children without studying the pros and cons. In today’s society, they are able to propagate anything in the name of freedom of expression, fabricating stories around only the genitals and disguising themselves as advocates of suffering people.
The Psychology of Vision
The neuroscientists saying that ability is given to us by a group of neurons in the brain called mirror neurons. If so, we should be in pain when we see someone stabbing us. The viewer does not feel pain because the signals from the skin do not reach the brain, and the brain ignores the visual signals and pretends to us that they are just vision. Young children cry when they see a painful sight because they cannot analyze the signals from these two sources and come to the conclusion that it is just a sight.
When a person watches a movie or a television, he is actually looking through the eyes of the camera. It makes them heroes themselves. The scene we see shows from whose point of view that person will experience everything we experience in the movie. But as mentioned earlier, the brain does not receive signals from the skin, so it does not tell us that the experience is ours. But the first signals will strengthen all the neuro-networks associated with it. That is, the result is the same as doing everything we saw for three hours.
Social Psychology
Society and individuals act according to the nature of the ideas propagated in society. The media propagates ideas in the society. The ideas of the ancient Tamil language came from the print media, radio, schools, teachers, religious leaders, and political leaders. All the values they learned were evident in their films.
While it is said that the films of the past upheld the values, it was the values underlying the orthodox golden male hegemony. Was not progressive. But the only positive thing was that it did not make the situation worse. Also, people did not use film-based thinking. Because the number of movies and theaters was less. There was also no 24-hour channel-centric campaign. Later, when the new generation started making films, the source of ideas for them was the new media, film and television. They became more and more evil, like a vicious cycle.
Today’s heroines do not have the contempt felt by the extra actresses of the past. Money, higher education, beauty, and foreign language proficiency transcend their illusions. In addition, television and newspapers made those illusions a new norm.
They propagate that the main virtue of a woman is glamor. Female characters in movies and channels, on the other hand, appear as vulgar, talkative, and stupid people who only love food, luxury, and sex. The media today are sex traffickers. Those scenes are everywhere in society.
Instead of the weak female role model, they sometimes portray the rebellious woman as a strong female character, either as a character or a heroine. It has no other purpose but to win money from the audience who like that behavior. Because even there, the main virtue of the heroine will be beauty, body and splendor. The viewer will only enjoy female beauty there too.
Television channels do more harm than good. Because it has views that are easy and free to view. The woman’s body and beauty are important there too. Extremely obscene serials ruin the peace of the family.
It affects people in the whole community from young children to the elderly. Inspired by movies or serials, there is a lot of news all over the world about individuals committing crimes. But more than that, the perspective of the idea presented in the visual media, including the newspaper, is even more dangerous. That is, even a still image can inject many things into women and men alike, such as how a woman should be seen and what her relevance is. Society will despise individuals who do not agree with that view. So, people are forced to live with the idea that is spreading in the mainstream.
In a money-making society, society swallows the ideas put forward by rich, beautiful, powerful and healthy celebrities. They control the flow of information in the country. The sole purpose of life is to divert attention from all other problems in the world and become completely selfish, brutal, contented and part of the consumer culture. Forget the obligations of self as a citizen. It has become a habit to live like the idols seen in the propaganda work of movies and channels.
Economic Aspect
In the early days of cinema, the country had not moved in the direction of atrocious capitalism. The difference between the very rich and the very poor among the people is not as great as it is today. People could make a living by doing small local jobs and running small businesses.
Later Prime Ministers like Rajiv Gandhi and later PV Narasimha Rao opened the country to the old free market and unrestrained capitalism of the 18th century, which they call the new economic system. Cars and televisions began to reach homes. By the 90s, 24-hour private channels had become a reality. Everything was being privatized. Everything was looked at from an economic point of view. People are losing their jobs and jobs. Economic inequality has increased tremendously. Private mining company bosses become Union ministers. It has become a situation where the capitalists themselves elect the ministers. The media sided with it. Democracy only means voting. The masters from the west kept ordering the government to stay away from public welfare programs. As a result, public life suffered. 80% of people have no income below Rs. 20 / – per day. But liberal economic policies were all seen through the eyes of the economy and human affairs were reduced to the sole aim of making a profit anyway.
Expatriates
There is a strong struggle in Kerala against the BOT four-lane road. “These people will not agree to bring industry here. The middle class in Kerala, which has been complaining that the country is being destroyed, is proud to be vocal about the growth in other states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Corporate development is not successful in other states where there are no problems. Everything there is done by oppressing the people and killing the Maoists.
Education
The government has lagged behind in the field of education to mold value-conscious citizens. At the insistence of the masters from the west. The whole world has become a place where education just certifies employment. The employer needs a place holder for many jobs such as doctor and engineer. Many subjects, such as non-profit history and philosophy, are disappearing from universities. Man loses the opportunity to acquire knowledge, and in society, knowledge becomes unimportant and money alone becomes important.
This is a matter for the educated minority. What about the poor who make up the vast majority? For the employer, they are made to do unskilled work at low wages. They also lost limited education. On the one hand, the sex-oriented lifestyle that is spread through movies, channels and advertisements. On the other hand, after losing all the conditions of life, they become addicted to alcohol and drugs and goes on with his life as the characters of supporting artists. All their knowledge is gained through movies, channels and advertisements.
When they lose everything and get creatures that are weaker than these, total failure imposes on them. It is most often women who are mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters.
The Response of the Community
When violence against women becomes news, we all strongly condemn that brutality and complain that the government does not provide adequate police protection. There is also an attempt to make something wrong only for the peoples. But this is not a local issue. About 24 people are sexually abused in the United States every minute. One in five women is sexually abused. This is a problem faced by women all over the world.
When there is a problem, the society finds the weakest culprit and blames all the blame on it. Satisfied that the angry hero himself is eradicating evil, we will shout that he is attacking the culprit and doing justice without trying to find a lasting solution to the problem. This style is also the result of the influence of cinema on us. After a while, the news breaks down and the society goes backwards. The attack is repeated.
What can we do?
Violence against women is not a woman issue. It is a matter of law and order. But our feminist organizations often portray it as a women’s issue and men as a whole as criminals. The solution cannot be found by protesting against a complex social problem, smashing offices and crucifying the lowest culprit. Similarly, a protection through police raj or a Taliban-style metal security is not sustainable.
Curriculum of the Community
From time immemorial, human society has passed on ideas to the next generation through storytelling. Today, cinema (mainstream media) is really the curriculum of society. We learn a lot by watching. Chimpanzees and others learn to use light tools such as stones and sticks by watching the adults in the group. We have movies, channels and advertisements to show how human beings should live. Religion or gurus can only speak. But the direct and indirect ideas and images conveyed through film-channel-advertising have more power.
In the past, it was clearly stated in the science of dance what can be shown on stage and what cannot be shown. Perhaps the ancients made such laws because they were aware of the erroneous influence of the images being transmitted. We will no longer have to create new laws. [Haven’t looked much at this. There is more to learn.]
Copyright Knife and Filmmaker’s Fortune
Filmmakers and other media outlets, such as channels and advertisements, are the main culprits. Movies, channels and advertisements do not deliberately propagate bestiality. In order to get easy money. The entertainment and media industry are one reason. They make money by using the copyright laws of the printing press era in this digital age as well. Before Thomas Alva Edison invented the sound recording machine, entertainment was popular. The so-called classical sect was protected by the king / state and the nomadic sect by the people. The state did not find anyone guilty of engaging in any form of entertainment. But after Edison, entertainment became a selling point. It has become a weapon to stab and extort money from anyone. Governments became protectors of companies instead of protecting the rights of the people. The huge sums of money of these entertainment businessmen are actually the money that 80% of the poor have been robbed of by burning copyrights.
But the law of time must be made the same as it was before Edison. For that, the concept of copyleft put forward by the free software movement is very effective. When it comes to making money from art, work with real artists. The bosses and managers will leave the place.
Art has changed from being for money to being for art. There will be good works of art. The answer to the question of whether artists will starve is the free software movement itself, which is more than 20 years old.
Controlling Emotion
The human brain has two main modes of functioning. 1. based on rationality, 2. based on sentimentality. The first is the prefrontal cortex located behind our forehead. (Monkeys don’t have big foreheads either.) If logic controls our actions, we will do all the analysis and act consciously, conscious of the past-present-future. For example, I have an exam next month, so learning that I need to study well now without wasting time playing to get results for the work and time of previous years is an example of our brain working on logic MODE. But when we quarrel with someone, when we listen to the ferocious speeches of fascists, when we are intoxicated by drugs, we lose our past and future and fall into that emotional flow. This is the emotional MODE of the brain. Later, when the brain’s logic MODE regains power, we regain consciousness and past-present-future.
Repent of wrong doing.
Theoretically, we and all other living things have an emotional brain. So it is not that we cannot eliminate mistakes. This is because in humans there is more logic in the prefrontal cortex. If we keep the prefrontal cortex strong, the ability of emotions to take over ourselves will decrease. For that we need to exercise the prefrontal cortex. That means it needs more work. It gives us a strong brain to do serious study in all subjects, to think deeply, to ask questions, to find answers to ourselves, to correct old misconceptions. But it needs a healthy brain. You also need good food to stay healthy. How can 80% of people spend less than Rs. 20 / – per day on good food?
The Real Culprit
The little clothes on the screen are not like the little girl walking down the road. Woman. The more she undresses, the more her reward increases, and the more crime in society. She is more dangerous than the woman on the road. She is not attacked because she realizes that wearing such expensive clothes is not normal. Those who are inspired by her often attack vulnerable women or children. But some people want to control the women on the road, but the woman on the screen is left alone. But if we can create a society with economic equality then dress up as you feel. But now it is very dangerous.
The real culprit is the media propagating that a woman is a consumer item that should be worn as a result of trying to make a profit anyway. Without breaking this powerful propaganda, women will not have security in the society. At the same time, they are pushing down the consciousness of society as a whole. Society should feel that all women on earth are knowledgeable in all areas, including politics, history, science, the environment, and economics, rather than a commodity to be worn. Similarly, if all social problems are to be solved, there must be a conscious effort of the people with deep knowledge. It is being thwarted by the trio of film-channel-advertising, propagandists of ignorance and brutality.
So, if you want to change the attacks on women,
- Don’t pay for movies, channels and advertisements that glamorize women as idols.
- Don’t talk about movies and stars. They are just entertainers. Watch if you need to, keep quiet.
- The copyright knife makes them rich.
- Do not buy channels that show advertisements that glamorize women and the products of that advertisement.
- Study all subjects as seriously as possible during leisure time. A strong brain will give you peace.
- 50% tax on the income of those working in the entertainment sector.
- Do not participate in SMS voting for paid channels.
- Override copyright laws. Only watch movies when they are copied and shown on TV. (If anyone wants to entertain you, let them do it. But we have the right to copy and distribute it. So, boycott those who are not entitled if possible. Free entertainment).
- If they lose, their employers will realize that society does not want to be an animal and will eliminate such ventures.
- Do not give awards to filmmakers with taxpayer money. It is not a right to entertain someone. In a country where farmers are starving to death, there is no need to protect tourists.
- Broadcasts should be analyzed by psychologists and social scientists and broadcast only on those that are not harmful to society. (Channel serials today offer illusions without even seeing a sensor board.) But it is doubtful how practical this will be. Self-control is easy. We should not pay for movies, channels and advertisements to make them do it.
- Children under the age of 3 should not watch television. Learn about the struggle for a week without television.
- Do not buy newspapers like Times of India which glamorize women.
- Development will not displace people from their habitat, people will control the market, reduce consumption and buy local products which will provide security of life to the common man. Do not buy goods from large shopping malls. Such companies are already rich.
- We should not make them richer. Instead, the income of the debtor ‘s family may help to provide a better education for his children.
- End the dominance of the economy and mobilize against development activities that undermine the sustainability of the people.
What Women Need
- Women give up slavery to their own bodies. Let it be as it is. Do not over-glamorize the body. Because it changes its own focus.
- All women should start gaining knowledge and expressing their views in all fields like politics, history, science, environment and economics.
- Ordinary women recognize that rich, beautiful heroines-celebrities are not their friend. Stop worshiping them.
Identify Women’s Emancipation Beyond Market Feminism.
Our opinion is shaped by the ideas we see and hear. Women and men learn what a woman should be and how she should act from the ideas they propagate about women in society. It is to create the impression that woman is a commodity. This action is not new. This idea is 10,000 years old. Violence against women is on the rise all over the world, including in rich countries such as the United States and Britain, as the idea spreads more strongly when the new media comes along.
Instead of focusing on the crucifixion of any culprit, think of the changes we need to make in our lives. At least if women are willing to make such a change, this evil in society will disappear.
