Swamis and Scandals
Swami Paramhansa Nityanand: The founder of the Nityanand mission, which claims to have 1,000 branches across 33 countries, has been untraceable since certain Tamil TV channels recently aired a video which allegedly shows him in a compromising position with a Tamil actress. Nityanand, who has ashrams in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Puducherry, hails from Tamil Nadu and has a sprawling ashram in Bidadi, 30 km from Bangalore. He claims to lead a worldwide movement for meditation and peace. Lenin Karuppan, a former disciple, has said that he shot the video to expose the swami. Lenin has alleged that his life has been under threat from the swami, adding that he also suspected foul play behind the death of a woman inmate a year ago. In the complaint filed with Chennai City Police Commissioner T Rajendran, Lenin, who claimed to be an inmate of the ashram in Bangalore since 2006, said the swami used to lure young women devotees claiming that he was the reincarnation of Lord Krishna.
Anup Kumar Sahay: A self-proclaimed godman in Ghaziabad, he was booked on Sunday for abducting his cousin. According to a complaint filed by Subha Srivastava, mother of the victim, the accused along with his brother Ashok Kumar Sahay abducted her daughter Priyanka Srivastava on February 15. The self-proclaimed godman has been booked under sections 363, 313 and 366 of the IPC which pertain to kidnapping and forcing a woman to undergo abortion without her will.
Kripaluji Maharaj: Ram Kripal Tripathi aka Kripaluji Maharaj, at whose ashram near Pratapgarh in UP 63 people died in a stampede last week, was charged with kidnapping and rape in two cases in Nagpur in 1991. He was acquitted after the witnesses turned hostile. He was arrested in 2007 after a Guyanese woman in South Trinidad filed a rape case against him.
Sant Swami Bhimanand Ji Maharaj Chitrakoot Wale: Shiv Murti Dwivedi alias Sant Swami Bhimanand Ji Maharaj Chitrakoot Wale (39), a self-styled godman, was arrested by the Delhi Police last month on charges of operating a high-profile sex racket involving former airhostesses and students.
Asaram Bapu: Two minor boys of the Asaram Ashram-run gurukul in Ahmedabad were found dead in the Sabarmati riverbed two days after they mysteriously went missing from the gurukul in February 2008. The police booked Asaram Bapu in a criminal case pertaining to attempt to murder last year in December on the basis of a complaint filed by Raju Chandak, a former disciple of Asaram. Chandak was shot at by two persons on December 5 and he sustained injuries on his chest and shoulders. Chandak alleged that he was targeted at the behest of Asaram, as he had testified before the D K Trivedi Commission probing into the death of the two boys.
Jayendra Saraswati: The influential Kanchi math Shankaracharya was arrested by the Tamil Nadu Police in Mehboobnagar in Andhra Pradesh in November 2004 in connection with the murder of a former accountant of the math.
Santosh Madhavan: The temple priest-turned-astrologer wanted by the Interpol – was arrested in Alappuzha in May 2008. Apart from a Rs 50 lakh fraud case that has a Dubai-based businesswoman as the complainant, Madhavan, who had turned himself into Swami Amritachaitanya presiding over a posh ashram and flaunting high connections in the state’s political circle and the bureaucracy, was also charged with raping a 15-year-old girl repeatedly.
Premananda: Also known as Trichy Sai Baba, he was awarded life imprisonment in 1994 for two terms on the charges of multiple criminal offences including rape and murder. Premananda, who reportedly had powerful supporters in the AIADMK, had not only raped many of the inmates of his ashram at Trichy but also carried out crude medical terminations of some of the consequent pregnancies with the help of a couple of associates. He was also charged with the murder of an engineer who had opposed the nefarious activities at the ashram.

Rape on Dead Body: Karnataka High Court Ruling
This article on 'Rape on Dead Body: Karnataka High Court Ruling' was written by Mohammed Zaid Alam, an intern at Legal Upanishad.
Introduction
In India, the act of rape on dead body is considered a criminal offense. The specific provision that deals with this offense is Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). However, it's important to note that Section 377 has been primarily used to address unnatural sexual acts and does not explicitly mention the offense of rape on a dead body. The punishment for the act of rape on dead body may be determined by interpreting relevant provisions of the IPC and legal principles established through judicial decisions. In a recent ruling, the Karnataka High Court stated that engaging in rape on dead body does not fall under the offense of rape as defined by Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). According to the court, there is currently no provision within the IPC that specifically addresses this act. The article discusses a recent ruling by the Karnataka High Court stating that engaging in rape on dead body does not fall under the offense of rape as defined by Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The court noted that there is currently no specific provision in the IPC to address this act. The article also mentions the facts and laws related to the recent ruling.
The case before the Karnataka High Court
In a case that occurred on June 25, 2015, a 21-year-old woman was attacked while returning home from her computer class. The accused, Rangaraju, forcefully held her, gagged her, and took her to a nearby bush. He then proceeded to slit her throat, resulting in her death. This act is punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). After the police registered a case, they obtained a statement from the accused, and a charge sheet was filed. The matter was sent to the sessions judge, who framed charges against the accused for murder and rape under Sections 302 and 376 of the IPC, respectively. After examining the evidence, the session's judge found that the prosecution had successfully proven the accused's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt for both the murder and the subsequent act of "raping" the victim's body. The accused was sentenced to rigorous life imprisonment and ordered to pay a fine of Rs. 50,000 for the murder. Additionally, he was given another 10 years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 25,000 for the offense of raping the victim's dead body. Subsequently, an appeal was filed before the Karnataka High Court.
The ruling by the High Court
The Karnataka High Court upheld the trial court's decision to convict the accused and sentenced him to life imprisonment for murder under Section 302 of the IPC. However, the high court acquitted him under Section 376 for the act of "raping" the victim's dead body, stating that the IPC does not provide for punishment in such cases. The court acknowledged that the accused engaged in rape on dead body but questioned whether it would constitute an offense under Sections 375 (rape) and 377 (unnatural offenses) of the IPC. Upon careful examination of Sections 375 and 377, the court concluded that the dead body cannot be considered a human or a person. Consequently, the provisions of Section 375 or 377 would not apply. The court clarified that no offense punishable under Section 376 had occurred and described the act as necrophilia, which is sexual attraction towards corpses. Referring to Section 46 of the IPC, the court highlighted that "death" refers to the death of a human being. Thus, rape must involve a living person, not a dead body. The court emphasized that a dead body cannot provide consent, protest against rape, or experience fear or outrage. The court also relied on a 1989 Supreme Court ruling in the case of "Pt Parmanand Katara, Advocate vs Union of India," which emphasized the need to maintain and respect the dignity of a dead body. The ruling stated that Article 21 of the Constitution of India guarantees the right to dignity and fair treatment, which extends to a person's body even after death. Additionally, the court referred to a 2021 advisory by the National Human Rights Commission, which emphasized the prohibition of physical exploitation or discrimination in the treatment of dead bodies and emphasized the right to a decent and timely burial.
Rape on Dead Body: Karnataka High Court Ruling The Karnataka High Court emphasized the need for the central government to take prompt action and amend Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) to explicitly address offenses involving necrophilia. Alternatively, the court suggested introducing a separate legal provision that specifically criminalizes necrophilia, prescribing a punishment of up to 10 years of imprisonment along with a fine. Furthermore, the court-mandated the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in morgues across Karnataka within six months. It directed the government to ensure hygiene, privacy, and the security of clinical records and information in these facilities. Additionally, the court emphasized the importance of sensitizing mortuary staff to handle such sensitive matters appropriately.
What is Necrophilia and its legal nature in India?
In the case of "Rangaraju @ Vajapeyi v. State of Karnataka," the Karnataka High Court acknowledged that necrophilia refers to a morbid fascination with death and the dead, specifically an erotic attraction to corpses. The court noted that necrophilia is classified as a psychosexual disorder, categorized under the DSM-IV as one of several paraphilias, which include sexual interests or behaviours that deviate from societal norms. Currently, the Indian Penal Code (IPC) does not explicitly mention necrophilia as a specific offense under sexual offenses. However, the court highlighted that it could potentially fall under Section 297 of the IPC, which deals with causing indignity to human corpses when trespassing into places for funeral rites or repositories for the remains of the dead. However, the court noted that Section 297 requires the act of causing indignity to be accompanied by an intention to wound feelings or insult religious sentiments. Additionally, the knowledge that someone's feelings are likely to be hurt or their religion insulted by such an act would constitute an offense under Section 297. The court observed that the present case did not fulfill the elements of Section 297, and therefore, the act could at most be considered sadism or necrophilia. It concluded that no offense was established under Section 376 of the IPC, which pertains to rape. The court also urged the central government to amend the law to address such acts.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Karnataka High Court's ruling stated that engaging in sexual intercourse with a deceased person's body does not fall under the offense of rape as defined by Section 376 of the IPC. The court noted that there is currently no provision in the IPC to address this act. However, the court expressed the urgent need for the central government to amend the law to specifically address offenses related to necrophilia. The court recommended two potential approaches for addressing this issue. Firstly, it suggested amending Section 377 of the IPC to include provisions concerning necrophilia. Alternatively, the court proposed introducing a separate legal provision that specifically criminalizes necrophilia, with a recommended punishment of up to 10 years of imprisonment along with a fine. In addition to these legal recommendations, the court ordered the installation of CCTV cameras in morgues across Karnataka within six months. It also emphasized the importance of maintaining hygiene, privacy, and the security of clinical records and information in these facilities. Sensitizing mortuary staff to handle such sensitive situations with care and respect was another important aspect emphasized by the court. It is now up to the central government to consider these recommendations and take appropriate action to address the legal gaps and protect the dignity of the deceased.

“Of the total 40,000 rape cases in India in the last ten years, 39,000 had a Muslim rapist. Still, Congress and Rahul Gandhi say that Hindus are rapists and terrorists. Shame on Congress and Gandhi family!” read a post shared by Sanjay Gupta in August in a Google Plus group called “Narendra Damodar Das Modi”. What Gupta had shared was fake news: official crime data in India doesn’t document the religion of the criminal, and Congress President Rahul Gandhi never made any such remark. Gupta is the moderator as well as an active member of this group that has over 2.6 million members. In May, after the results of Karnataka assembly polls were declared, Gupta shared a post attributing BJP’s defeat to lower voter turnout of Hindus. “92% of the Muslims voted in Karnataka elections, 86% Christians voted, but just 58% Hindus. 42% Hindus didn’t even vote.” Yet again, this communally polarising post is based on fictitious data. The Election Commission of India does not record voter turnout data by religion.

OUR VIEW ON GENDER ROLE IN SOCIETY & POLITICS
It’s not surprising or even a debatable topic that we live in a heterosexual male dominating world. One doesn’t have to look far to see how or why it’s happening. We all experience it in our daily lives, families, educational communities and politics.
In today’s political landscape, motherhood is often deployed as a tool to highlight the ‘sacred nature of a subject, ranging from the Gau Mata to Bharat Mata and Ganga Mata. At the same time, issues around women’s rights and empowerment, varying from triple talaq to Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, are regular topics of conversation in Political circles. But an important question remains- do the men in Indian Politics only want to talk about women, or are they also willing to make an effort to share power with them?
Yes, we are moving towards women empowerment to achieve gender equality step by step. But that’s still just a perception; even today the vast majority of Indians (64%) are of the view that the role of women in society is to become good mothers and wives and they should focus mainly on home, according to the findings of a global survey by Ipsos. The Ipsos global trend survey 2017 examined attitudes towards the role of women, parenting, and family across 22 countries, interviewing 18,180 adults.
“More Indian women may be moving out of their homes, seeking employment and carving out a niche for themselves at workspaces, but society sees them more as accomplished mothers and wives in primary role, relegating other roles to secondary positions,” Executive Director, Ipso Public Affairs, said in a sentence
From personal experience, in my household, my mother is a business owner and my dad a government employee. No doubt that my mother plays the role of a housewife, mother and a badass boss. But still even today when it comes to decision making she hands it over to my father. It’s more like a system is fixed in women’s head that the final decision has to come from the man of the house. And I’m pretty sure this must be the case in most of the liberated and slightly upper-class families like mine. I’m not denying that there aren’t exceptions but, yes these things happen around us all the time.
Now, when it comes to politics, in India, nine out of ten legislators are men. While, Indian politicians are eager to talk about women’s empowerment and the political legacies of India’s female politicians like Sushma Swaraj, Indira Gandhi or Pratibha Patil, these women remain largely anomalies in the Indian political landscape rather than a norm.
Among our South Asian Neighbors, we rank fifth in the women’s political representation in parliament falling behind Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal. On the other hand, while many countries around the world gasped at the idea of a female head of state, India was the second country in the world to elect a female head of state, Indira Gandhi. Presently, women in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet lead some of the most important ministries, from defense to foreign affairs. Yet still, cases of violence against women increased by 40 percent from 2012 to 2016, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. A woman was raped every 13 minutes, a bride was murdered for dowery every 69 minutes, and six women are gang-raped every day in India.
Politically, women have been making their presence felt in voter turnouts. According to the Election Commission data from 2014 General Elections, the female voter turnout was higher than male turnout in 16 states and union territories out of 35. However, women remain underrepresented in state and national decision-making bodies. The decision making which is done from ministry for women and children is done by men. When someone looks at you suggestively regardless of what you are wearing, just because you have a bigger chest and ass compared to that person, or travelling alone no matter what time of the day while a man following you or listening to comments being passed on or being looked down on by your colleagues at workspace, colleges or even schools by men for being a female and not having a penis; why should those very men make decision for an entire county where 55 percent of work is done by women. So obviously, women remain underrepresented in state and national decision-making bodies. India’s handful of female politicians have occupied some of the highest seats of power but their rise, like many of their counterparts in Asia, has often been through the patronage of the family legacy.
The barriers of entry for the female politicians are much higher as they contend with multiple other surface and structural issues. According to the Economic Survey 2018, prevailing cultural attitudes regarding gender roles, domestic responsibilities, female illiteracy, lack of confidence or finances and the threat of violence, are just some of the obstacles women face.
One way to combat this disparity is through quotas.
In 1994, India ratified the 73rd and 74th amendments to the Indian Constitution, granting women 1/3 reservation in rural and urban democratic bodies. This was followed in 1996 by the introduction of the Women’s Reservation Bill that would reserve 33 percent of seats in Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies for women on a rotational basis.
After much contestation, the bill finally passes in the Rajya Sabha in 2010 but lapsed in 2014 with the dissolution of 15th Lok Sabha. It continues to languish-22 years since the initial proposal.
One thing so far is clear as water, that we need female representation in Politics because we need women who have experienced all the problems a female goes through from being a girl to a woman. It’s not just about representation, but to initiate gender equality at the highest rank, for transgender and non-binary citizens to step up and represent their communities. Role model effect also erases the gender disparity in educational attainment of young girls.
While quotas allow women access to positions of power, according to some detractors, they also weaken the ideas of the election based on merit in democracy. There is concern that women in government may compromise growth as pro-female and pro-family policies are often associated with welfare. However, many women run for the local governments, because of pressure from relatives eager to keep a particular seat in the family or gain material benefit. Their spouses, the “panchayat patis”, often control the position, wielding power through the women’s position. Furthermore, once elected, women often run again for political office even after their constituencies have been de-reserved. While the reservation for women is only for 33 percent of the seats, women make up 46 percent of the elected representatives in Panchayati Raj institutions, exhibiting active participation and leadership at local governments levels.
Presently, the two largest political parties of India, the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC), support the women’s reservation bill in their rhetoric. However, contrary to the popular rhetoric support, India Today finds that in the 2014 General Elections, BJP gave only 8.8 percent tickets to women candidate and Congress just 12.9 percent.
The Times of India reported that BJP was planning to field at least 25 percent women candidates in Madhya Pradesh for the 230 seats. BJP’s past record, however, remains a shoddy record.
In the Karnataka state elections in May, only 6 of the 224 candidates fielded by the BJP were women, less than 3 percent of their total candidature. Ironically, Prime Minister Modi’s slogans as he kicked off the state election campaign were, “Beta, Beti Ek Saman” (Son and Daughter are equal). The other two big parties in Karnataka elections didn’t fare much better when it came to representing women. The INC and JD(S), fielded 15 and 4 female candidates respectively.
In August, the INC president, Rahul Gandhi, penned a scathing letter to Modi urging him to “walk his walk” on Women’s empowerment and pass the bill. Like BJP, in practice, only 14 percent of the newly formed Congress Workers’ Committee leaders are women, despite the constitution of the INC calling off for 33 percent reservation for the party’s committees.
Studies show that for women to have a meaningful impact in Parliament, they need to reach at least a 30 percent threshold.
“We want respect and to be treated on par with another citizen. That I defeated a person, who is not a transgender shows people love me” these are the words spoken by Dnyaneshwar Kamble, a 40-year-old transgender women elected as Maharashtra’s first ever transgender Sarpanch on 17th October 2018 in the gram panchayat elections in Tarangfal villege of Solapur. Kamble intends to focus on lok sevs (welfare of people) and gram seva (welfare of the village/society). Villagers in her area still defecate in the open- Kamble said she would concentrate on making her village open defecation. She is a Standard VII dropout, but she regrets not completing her education. Kamble would also focus on providing better education to the villagers.
The Logical Indian community appreciates the fact of how people have chosen Kamble as their representative. Kamble and many others have been on the receiving end of social ignorance. A move like this works as an encouragement for the entire society. We hope this acts a precedent for other communities as well.
In short, representation matters. Either you are gay, lesbian, binary, non- binary or whatever, we as a whole are citizens of a country which doesn’t allow or even recognizes that representation is the key to a progressive nation and be recognized as a first world country as we should be.
