thinking about it again, it looks like I have got this wrong. I did not understand that this is a feminist’s blog. I am a man. I thought this was a normal ,unbiased blog. Still, in the video I saw women too, so I really don’t understand what’s the point of feminism, here.
Women not only were watching, but in the end many of them were glad that the men were doing the beating. It gave these women the illusion that they are innocent. Think about this for a minute, and please see the limits of your bias. The problem , rather than the men in Bahir, is the backwardness. Everyone there think and act like they did 600 years ago. That’s the real problem. Of course, the men who were beating the woman, should pay for it, no question about that. I am not defending men ,or women either.

I can’t believe it. I could not even watch how these stupid people were beating up that woman. However, Meena, while I respect how you feel, let’s not generalize with ‘and somehow women are at the receiving end’.
First off, it sounds like an insinuation that somehow, the perpetrators of this absurd show are men. But I see women there, as well, who seemed they were really enjoying this grim show.

Please no more with this ‘and somehow, everytime,women are at the receiving end’ stuff. It’s just a bland generalization. There are also men that are ready to defend women, if that’s the case. There are men who paid unfairly while women were defended. There have been evil women too.

Evil does not care if you are a woman or a man, so I think it’s more complicated than what you think. Often we think that things are either black or white, but the reality is that there is another shade, grey, that is made of both black and white.

Having said all that, it’s a shame that things like these happened in Bahir, happen, and I even thank you for having let me know a bit more of this strange world.

I wish you all the best
Luigi

Meena I am very happy that you wrote about this. I remember in class when we were discussing a case of possession depicted in Bama’s Sangati, my professor had something similar to say about possession and “witch hunts” (not to conflate the two), and how Dalit women (and men?) use the state of being possessed as a space from which they could critique caste Hindu patriarchy.

He was referring to instances of “possessed” Dalit women ridiculing/ critiquing caste landlords for their liaisons with various women etc, and this of course is more often than not followed by a very vehement back-lash in the form of witch hunts.

Thanks for throwing more light on the issue.

May be, yes Charolette…

But Indian rural reality is quite divorced from the world outside, which is one reason why they can carry on such brazen acts. If it were just patriarchy, it would be easier to handle. Here it acquires casteist overtones, which means something that has to be condemned is left uncondemned because the affected women belong to the oppressed (perhaps, voiceless) castes

We should probably increase the law enforcing agencies.. and give local media attention..

That patriarchy is the fundamental cause of wichcraft hysteria is old news, what woud help is to know what anyone can do about it.
Passing more laws when the ones already in place are not enforced is an exercise in futility. Or nearly so, I guess it is better than not passing a law against this horrible practice, but it isn’t having any noticable effect. What can be done that will effect real change?

I suggest the women of India might try making public the names of men who have caused pain sufferring and/or death to a woman ..whether over witchcraft charges or some other reason.. post those names on the internet, along with their address.. perhaps the resulting international public censure would help.

with our pilgrim ancestors it was an excuse to kill a human that you don’t like.
trough unfair trail that kills them even if they where human or not.
and it evolved to a version of prair for those people

but i think its just the famine and the cataclysmic nature events that triggers this kind of behaviour.

even thou what i read here sounds like exactly like what people would do from 8.AD to the 18th.

Thanks for leaving the comment Jude…
What you say is absolutely true.. Looks like oppression the world over follows similar spine-chilling patterns..
And somehow, everytime, it is women who are at the receiveing end.
