Women Being Objectified Is The New Norm?

Anushka Pathak, Mumbai Uncensored, 6th January 2021:

If you’re active on social media, you must have seen the news about the whole Bulli Bai app case. Bulli Bai is an application where Muslim reporters or Muslim high profile Twitter celebrities, in general, were being targeted and ‘auctioned’ on the internet.

The culprits, 21year old Vishal Jha and 18-year-old Shweta Singh have been caught by the Mumbai police and produced before the Bandra Court on Tuesday. A boy named Neeraj Bishnoi was also caught on Thursday, with reports claiming he is the mastermind of the case. Some reports also say that Shweta is the mastermind behind the whole case and all the accused uploaded photographs of hundreds of Muslim women on the app which was hosted on the open-source software GitHub.

In a similar case in July, an application named Sulli Deals rolled out where Muslim women were being ‘auctioned’ with the tagline “Your Sulli Deal of The Day’ where the term ‘Sulli’ is a slur for Muslim women. In both cases, Muslim women have been the victim. A lot of people have claimed that the person behind the ‘Sulli Deals’ application is a Muslim man named Javed Alam who made the application to let the Muslim women play the victim card and accuse the right-wing of India for this application.

While we are talking about Muslim women here, let’s not forget about the women from the other community, that is, Hindu women. Hindu women have been a target of Muslim men or men in general since time immemorial. Hundreds of Facebook, Reddit, and Telegram groups share morphed pornographic pictures of Hindu women and auction them online using derogatory terms. But no complaint or FIR has ever been done regarding this case.

The Right-Wing of India and the traditionalists (a group of conservative people who claim to be the flag bearers of Hinduism) have been busy fighting over the internet blaming each other for the Bulli Bai application. The right-wing says traditionalists are conservative Hindu men who are behind the application while the traditionalist community claims that Vishal Jha and Shweta Singh are innocent and that the Hindu women have faced the same brunt Muslim women are facing now. While both their claims are right, a question arises in the minds of some people.

If we come to think of it, both these cases of Bulli Bai/ Sulli Deals applications and Facebook/Reddit/Telegram groups of Hindu women being sexualized have one thing in common which the majority of people are ignoring. In both cases, women, in general, are being targeted. In both cases, women are being wrongfully sexualized and objectified while using derogatory terms. In both cases, women are the victims here but everyone seems to be so engrossed in their propaganda that they have side-lined the real issue here.

Women have always been the dignity of an Indian household, be it a Muslim household or a Hindu one. Indians have made sure to protect their sisters and daughters so as to maintain the respect that they have in society. While it is right on their side to protect the women of their households, they tend to forget that women are also human beings with the same features as them. A woman or not, every human being must be protected at all costs. Even in the twenty-first century, women’s objectification has been an issue where women have shown that they are not lesser than any man in the world and can perform all the tasks that a man can.

Priyal Singh, Mumbai Uncensored:

In a shocking incident captured on CCTV camera, an 11-year-old minor boy was assaulted for greeting a person with ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in Mira Bhayandar area. The incident unfolded when the minor boy, returning home after buying milk, mistook a person as the building’s security guard, and greeted him with ‘Jai Shri Ram’. This simple gesture led to a violent assault by 5 unknown youngsters, who also forced the minor to chant ‘Allahu Akbar’.

The father of the victim, Sanjay Singh, filed an FIR in the matter, naming five unidentified youths as the assailants. The incident occurred on Monday night, around 9:30 PM, and was captured on CCTV cameras installed in the building.

According to the CCTV footage, the minor boy is seen entering the building after greeting someone with ‘Jai Shri Ram’. Subsequently, he is chased and assaulted by five young men who entered the building.

However, 5 unknown youmgsters attempted to stop the minor, leading to a confrontation. Soon after, the five youths chased the minor inside the building and physically assaulted him.

Controversial ‘Annapoorani’ Sparks FIR for Alleged Promotion of Love Jihad; Contrasts Netflix’s Refusal of ‘The Kerala Story’

Siddhant Mohite, Mumbai:

Nayanthara’s milestone 75th film, ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food,’ has landed in hot water as an FIR has been filed against the movie by the Mumbai police. A complaint lodged at LT Marg Police Station alleges that the film promotes Love Jihad, citing a scene where actor Jai makes a controversial statement about Lord Ram’s dietary preferences, causing hurt to religious sentiments. This development comes after the movie’s digital premiere on Netflix faced criticism, with the Hindu IT Cell filing a formal complaint with Mumbai police, accusing the film of misrepresenting Valmiki’s Ramayana and criticizing Lord Ram.

Directed by Nilesh Krishnaa, ‘Annapoorani’ features Nayanthara, Jai, and Sathyaraj in lead roles, hitting theaters on December 1, 2023. Despite the movie’s milestone status, it received a lukewarm response at the box office, grossing Rs 5 crore.

According to reports from The Republic, the complaint alleges that a particular scene in the movie portrays actor Jai asserting that Lord Ram was a meat eater, leading to an offense against religious sentiments. The controversy intensified after the film’s digital release on the OTT platform Netflix.

The narrative of ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food’ revolves around a girl aspiring to become a chef. As the daughter of a Hindu temple pujari, she faces challenges in preparing non-vegetarian food. The movie sparked controversy for a scene depicting her performing the Islamic prayer Namaz with a scarf covering her head before a cooking competition. Nayanthara’s character in the film recalls a friend’s comment that her Biryani tasted exceptional when prepared after performing Namaz. This scene has stirred controversy, as it is seen as offensive to religious sentiments.

Adding to the unfolding controversy is the fact that Netflix, a prominent OTT platform, chose to release ‘Annapoorani,’ despite its contentious content. This decision has raised eyebrows, especially in light of the platform’s refusal to release the movie ‘The Kerala Story,’ which exposed Love Jihad, further amplifying concerns within the Hindu community.

The Mumbai police’s decision to file an FIR against ‘Annapoorani’ reflects the seriousness of the allegations, and as this situation evolves, Mumbai Uncensored will continue to monitor and report on developments surrounding this controversial film.

Corruption Scandal Unveiled: BMC Officials Accused of Siphoning Off Crores Meant for Laborers in Mumbai’s Cleanliness Schemes

Siddhant Mohite, Mumbai Uncensored, 7th December 2023:

Mumbai Uncensored has unearthed a shocking case of corruption involving high-ranking officials in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The scandal, exposed by social worker Mr. Rameez Raja, reveals a systematic embezzlement of funds intended for laborers engaged in the Swachhata Yojna, Motor Loading, Manning & Mopping Scheme.

In 2007, BMC initiated these schemes, employing laborers through registered NGOs. Alarming details emerged regarding their paltry daily wages, which ranged from Rs. 141 in early 2007 to a marginal increase of Rs. 144 to Rs. 146 in 2008. Concerns over unjust wages prompted BMC’s standing committee to pass resolutions in 2010 and 2011, specifying minimum wages for laborers through circulars dated 30.4.2011 and 2.9.2021.

However, Mumbai Uncensored’s investigation reveals a nefarious plot within the BMC’s Western Suburbs (Zone 3). SWM Executive Engineer Mr. Chandan Shive, along with a network of SWM officials, allegedly manipulated funds. Instead of ensuring fair compensation to NGOs and, consequently, laborers, these officials diverted a substantial portion—estimated between 20-22 crores—for personal gain.

Trusted sources affirm that Mr. Rameez Raja, a vigilant social worker, has sent a detailed letter to the Chief Minister outlining the corruption. Raja emphasizes the urgent need for a thorough investigation and the suspension of implicated BMC officials. The funds, he insists, rightfully belong to the laborers who toiled diligently to maintain the city’s cleanliness.

Mumbai Uncensored has obtained a copy of a letter from Mr. Hemant Sawant, additional deputy commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Department, Mumbai. Addressed to BMC Commissioner Mr. Iqbal Singh Chahal, the letter lists multiple complaints received from citizens, the Maharashtra Government, and the Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Despite these grave allegations, no visible actions have been taken by the BMC.

This revelation raises serious questions about the integrity of BMC officials and their commitment to addressing corruption within their ranks. Mumbai Uncensored will continue to investigate and report on this matter to ensure accountability and justice for the laborers who deserve their rightful compensation.
