GENDER VERDICT OF PINKI PRAMANIK : JUSTIFIED?
______________________________
Oflate bengal's famous athlete Ms.Pinki Pramanik is in News for
attempting to rape her 3 yrs love partner, a separated-married woman
with a child ! After 3 long yrs of their volenteered conjugal life,the
lady now accused that Pinki has raped her !
the question is if it is Rape by chance or instinct, then how come the
victim record their love making scene & submitted the private video
footage to the police ?
Anyway, The main point is,Focus on Rape allegation has been suddenly
changed into Focus on Sex-determination of the accused Pinki !
Coming from a poor family of Purulia dist Pinki Pramanik has been
growing up as 'female' child, became a 'Female' athlete with
international repute, received many awards & prizes including the Gold
Medal for champion in Doha Asian games in 2006 and the Silver Medal
for Champion in Melbourne Commonwealth Games for 4x400 mt.Relay Race
in the same year. besides at the age of 18 she got govt.job in Indian
Rail through her athlete quota. but now she has been suspended and
threatened to lose all her hard-earned honour and awards.
Everyday Media and Public are continuously discussing and abusing
Pinki's physiq and her sexual life openly without caring about her
reputation,social status and of course, her Privacy.
Is it just because of her identity disorder problem? or for her poor
family status?
Pinki is not the first one having such gender-disorder syndrome. In
India there are million of people living with such problem without any
question. In Art and Film Industry lots of famous personalities are
living luxurious lives with their chromosomal contradiction, but Pinki
is being humiliated publicly due to her low-profile lifestyle and lack
of higher authority contacts.
If allegation is proved then Pinki must be punished in a legal way and
treated like an ordinary accused . But publicly humiliation regarding
her gender and sexual life is undoubtedly a violation of Human Right.
Everyone is different in colour and manner of living, Everyone has
right to live life in their own style without poking others.
We neither support a Rapist (If proved), nor the way an accused is
treated like animal in a cage !
Identity disorder is a medical problem and not a fault of Pinki. she
is not responsible for her physiq. but in digital media we all have
seen that she is treated brutally. when a police man squeezes Pinki's
chest in order to show 'her' manhood - it is horribly violent act
which is objectionable. Nobody has right to make others naked in front
of others neither to indulge in savage celebration of somebody's
identity crisis.
We must raise our voice against all kind of rape attempt, oppression
to women and also this type of inhuman activities in the name of
justice-seeking agitation !

শুধু লিঙ্গ বা যৌনকেন্দ্রিকই নয়,জীবনযাপনের কোনও ক্ষেত্রেই ব্যতিক্রমকে ভালোভাবে স্বীকার করতে চায় না ভারতীয় সমাজ।চিন্তার জগতে আমাদের ব্যাপ্তি প্রাচীনযুগ থেকেই গর্ব করার মতো।কিন্তু লৌকিক জীবনে আমরা কূপমন্ডুক।আমাদের সমাজে এখনও পুনর্বাসন বলে কোনও শব্দ নেই।আমাদের সমাজজীবন,সাংসারিক জীবন derailment না হলে খুব ভালোই চলে।কিন্তু লাইন থেকে পড়ে গেলে?তোমাকে কেউ তোলার নেই।তোমার লিঙ্গচেতনা আলাদা,তুমি ব্রাত্য।তুমি একবার ধর্ষিতা,তোমার অস্তিত্বকে বারবর ধর্ষিতা হতে হবে।তুমি বিবাহ বিচ্ছিন্ন,তুমি তোমার আপন সংসারেই একলা।এমনকী তোমার বাচ্চা হয় নি,তুমি তো বঁজা,সংসারে তোমাকে বাঁকা চোখে দেখার লোকের অভাব নেই।অবদমিত লিঙ্গ হিসেবে নারী তো বটেই এমনকী পুরুষও প্রান্তিক হয়ে যায় বারেবারে। আসলে আমাদের সমাজে আবেগের প্রাচুর্য আছে কিন্তু অস্মিতার স্বীকৃতি নেই।রবীন্দ্রনাথ বহু আগে বলে গিয়েছেন,সমাজে দয়ার চেয়ে দায়ের জোর বেশী।কিন্তু আজও আমরা দয়াতেই আটকে রইলাম। সহনাগরিকের প্রতি আমার যে একটা দায়ও আছে,আর সেটা যে তাঁকে অহেতুক বিরক্ত না করে স্বাধীনভাবে বাঁচতে দেওয়ার,সম্মানের সঙ্গে বাঁচতে দেওয়ার,আমরা এখনও ততটা বুঝতে পারছি না,যতটা বুঝলে পিঙ্কি প্রামাণিকের লিঙ্গপরিচয় নিয়ে কৌতুহল দেখানোর অবকাশই থাকে না।
