Accidental death of a bride

I am not one to defend the inalienable rights of feminists. Bah humbug if you ask me bunch of whiney wimin to deface beautiful paintings like the Rokeby Venus mainly because they are overweight carrot eating lesbians and are just jealous and only got the vote because they planned to kill all of his Majesty's gee-gees. And I always figured I could probably kill one homeless person/failed asylum seeker or one of that ilk and who would care, or as I would put it they'd give me a bloody medal. But there are limits.

What is the point in boasting about one nuclear submarine. Akula class which is Russian and therefore bound to get blown out of the water by the first american sub it comes across. Especially since it will take two years to train the sub-mariners to play with it properly when oh I should explain got pressganged into attending this morning's daughters of fire seminar, a people's court on dowry and other related violence against women.

Fuck me. No Fuck me. 100 unnatural deaths reported every month in Bangalore mainly of women and exploding fucking stoves. Fucking exploding fucking stoves. Now I believe the rational historico-critical method having moved from the modernist solution of making better stoves, to teaching households better health and safety protocols well apart from encouraging us not to say fucking.

The point being as I put it to Abraham and he is a really nice pentecostal preacher and he was agreeing with me how bad things are here, was that I could in front of the whole DVK assembly beat to death a dalit girl and nothing would happen to me. So back to the bartered brides accidental deaths, my God they are pretty but they have a terrible habit of burning themselves to death over faulty cooking appliances. So at first the husband's family covered her in tumeric and then arranged for a fast funeral.

I was thinking of a new Tollywood/French (with East Syriac subtitles) series of CSI India. We wouldn't have to pay any copyright to the yanks because it would not involve clever science johnnies with lab equipment examining crime scenes for threads either cotton or minute parts of fucking DNA. Because the first thing you have to do as an Indian CSI is negotiate a fucking bribe. They had brought in a law to force post mortems on all unnatural deaths filed with the police. So option one don't file the death report with the police. Option two wait for the post mortem johnnie to ask for a facilitation fee and what sort of report you would like. Then again you have the lone honest post-fucking-mortemist. Now his problem is that he is a fucking stupid ignorant fucking Indian so the limits of his skill are for death where it appears to have been by hanging. Cause of Death: Asphixiation.
And for when the bride was burnt to death, oh and this sounds a bit more technical than just Death by burning to death, it's Shock caused by burns. I'd be fucking shocked if someone tried to fucking murder me for me money.

Now the greed part I get. It's a way to get a fast buck. And whereas I admit to having some residual pissed-offness with my cousins and my brother but more with my cousins coz I figure my brother has two wives three daughters and a mistress to pay off and he is always going to be in debt, where was I. Yep I am going to insist on 700 squid per term to be paid by the cousins (out of my money) in addition to other expenses to the Temple of Wisdom in the Garden of Earthly delights. That will pay my keep plus provide for a few scholarships.

Where was I. God this place is just fucking. I mean why didn't hillary fucking clinton ask for basic human rights to be improved in India before signing her fucking deal with them. They used to hassle the Chinese and the Russians about it. Now I can understand why you might say but Dezie why are you getting all excited. It doesn't affect you. And I guess it does confirm how corrupt and how little human life is valued her. Why I am studying their spiritual systems again. But they don't mean us. They mean poor people. And although dowry crimes are an equal opportunities killer it's still nicer having money and being a Brahmin or a foreigner.

Now ok the experts giving evidence at the court went with the usual long words to show how clever and educated they are. They want us to dream a new imaginary. To replace the public patriarchal system of jurisprudence with a personal social vision where reparation and harmony. Allow the tears of the oppressed to proclaim and reclaim yadayada. Now the four women who spoke two broke down a bit towards the end. Three were mothers one was a sister obviously the dead cannot speak. Tamil, Kannada and whatever they speak in West Bengal and Orissa. A father was replaced by his wife as he was critically ill. And a mother replaced by a sibling as she had been killed in an RTA. I stayed till they finished speaking. Because I felt I should stay.

Hey a man's gotta eat. The seminar is for Christ's University a posh offshoot of DVK. Their lunch break is from 1.20 -2.20. DVK's from 12.30- 1.30. Moved though I was I still felt I should not return so I could partake of Tiffin. But Tiffin ain't all that. I am going to go back for the next sessions and just get a little depressed.

What a fucking awful way to live. Seriously it really doesn't make any fucking sense. And no-one here is really shocked. Change will not happen quickly. It's not just the wimin who are treasured/despised. It's also the Dalits and Tribals. Well the Will will go to the Carmelites and half of the money has to go SCs or Tribals with preference to graduates of the Prema Seva Ashram of Nellikuduru and the other half to others with preference to women. I'll set that in a separate letter as a canon 1300 obligation upon the prior general. If you put clauses into a Will just leaves greed too many opportunities.

Fuck me greed will blind you and destroy others and your own soul. How can a people so beautiful be so fucking evil.
