subject Sadhvi Pragya-an icon of empowered women
Now the problem in the investigation of Sadhvi Pragya is that she is completely in charge of herself! Confident and calm with her mastery of yoga the cops are finding it difficult to needle out any information. Nothing till date to show her involvement in the Malegaon and Modasa blasts. So from here how does the case proceed?. The Anti-Terrorist Squad had lined up all the Hindu out fits and about 500 persons were grilled but they found no clue. Because the blasts occurred near mosques and in a minority dominated area is no sufficient reason for the ATS -the Gujarat and Mumbai police to line up all the saffron outfits. Can this alone point at their involvement? When there are leads against the SIMI and other Muslim outfits the investigation is tardy. Have the investigation agencies which had got leads in the involvement of Tauqeer in the blasts in Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad and now in Assam succeed in nabbing him? Where there are no leads in Sadhvi Pragyaâs case the investigators are reluctant to give her a clean chit but want to wait, continue keeping her on the âsuspectâ list. The Prime Minister lost his sleep when Haneef was grilled in Australia but now the PM and Mrs Sonia Gandhi are getting comfortable rest and sleep because they can perform the balancing act of âHinduâ terror and âMuslimâ terror. The media went gaga to give a saffron color to terror and seem to be gloating that at last it has Hindu terrorists in the net. In the case of Batla terrorists encounter Lalu, Paswan, Mulayam, and Amar Singh rushed to the defense of the terrorists. âTill they are proved guilty they are innocentâ, they asserted. The same rule must apply to Sadhvi Pragya and the five suspects in the Malegoan /Modasa blasts including all the Hindu outfits which the ATS grilled. Till proved guilty they are innocent. All the terrorists so far arrested must be put to brain mapping. polygraphic and narco
tests. Investigators must adopt the same methods be they Hindu suspects or Islamic suspects. Justice cannot be flawed depending on religion. Methods and tactics used cannot be based on religion.
In the case of Sadhvi Pragya the media both print and electronic branded her as accused.-even before the investigations started. What went into the making of Sadhvi Pragya was being analyzed in detail.-she studied in a boyâs school- Lahar did not have a girlâs school after the secondary level and so Sadhvi had no alternative .She was imaged as a fast girl because she was fond of bikes -that today girls even in High school all swish pass in bikes does not matter. Sadhvi has to be painted different- as an unusually bold girl ready to take up a cause. Drunkards and goons were afraid of her it is reported. So what does all these indicate? She is not afraid, is bold, courageous, intelligent, and educated. She is not the stereotype Indian girl. She has broken the gender cocoon image and stands out as a person different from the usual docile, submissive girls that the male dominated Indian society want girls to be. Does this mean she has all the ingredients that went into the making of a terrorist? Yet from the PM down to the CM we hear of the empowerment of women. Sadhvi is a hard nut to crack and gives no leads. The fact is that she is innocent and hence there are no leads for her to give. She has self actualized herself and not allowed her personhood to be dominated and submerged in the oppressive social norms of society. Hats off to Sadhvi Pragya. Let us hope that we will have more Sadhvis to stand up and be counted.
By trying to implicate Sadhvi the Centre government with its investigating agencies has succeeded in making her an icon of empowered women.
