Here is a recent news which sounds interesting in the vein of “dog bites man” variety, but it hides more than it discloses. We attempt to give the hidden story which has not been shared with the readers of news below:

Recent news in Bangalore, Karnataka says: cops asked to exercise caution in dowry cases. Well really, this is nothing new but circular issued in Oct 2010 which maybe Bangalore police is re-discovering now that there has been high-profile murder cases due to fear of false cases, and also request by major IT companies in Bangalore to police to not arrest (everyone in family and the dog) merely on filing of a dowry harassment (IPC 498a) case on husband.

NEW DELHI: Divorce, “illegitimate pregnancy” and professional/career problems seem to be pushing more people to commit suicide. According to the NCRB report, in 2011, at least 16 people committed suicide every hour and the total figure was 1.35 lakh.
A protest (dharna) was organised by Centre for Men’s Rights in Bangalore, India on 26th May against Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2010 which introduces Irretrievable Breakdown of Marriage (IrBM) as a valid ground for divorce. Similar protests have been organised in other cities like Mumbai and Pune.

A recent government survey in Malaysia reveals that more child abuse is done by mothers than fathers. So much for the feminist propaganda which shows men and fathers are perpetual perpetrators of domestic violence and women and children as hapless victims.
Male disposability is inherent in society, and some may even argue that a soldier takes on a job which is inherently life-risking and that they are paid to be soldiers. But these soldiers who committed suicides were not told before they joined army in J&K that they are more likely to die from suicide than in defending the country!

For the first time in Australian history these amendments were passed through parliament without bipartisan political support, and then only after a late night stifling of debate in the Senate. These changes in effect give unsubstantiated allegations of family violence primacy above the rights of the child to an ongoing and meaningful relationship with both parents whilst effectively removing legislated penalties for perjury.
