STATISTICS

1. Who needs protection? Men or Women

Official Statistics (Source: NCRB*)	Male	Female
Suicide of MARRIED persons (2005 – 07)	1,65,528	88,121
One Suicide in every	9 Min	18 Min
Number of MURDERS	26,467	7,952
One Murder in Every	19 Min	66 Min

At home, men are twice as likely to be driven to commit suicide as compared to women.

Outside the home, a man is murdered every 19 minutes as opposed to a woman being murdered every 66 minutes.

So, which gender is more unsafe in India?

2. Men contribute 82% of the taxes collected in the country, still not even 1 Rupee has been spent on men’s welfare in the last 60 years. In contrast, every year Rupees 7,428 Crore rupees are spent on women’s welfare!

3) 40 cases of abandoned wives per year is a primary concern of media and Govt. but no one is bothered about 40,000 false arrests of women under dowry laws.

Yes, even I was surprised to know that 40 cases per year – that is the number of abandoned wives.

4) In 1920, the difference between the expected lifespan of a woman and a man was 1 year (woman lived longer). Today in 2009, the difference has become 7 years.

Do you know why? Because everyone across the world talks about women’s health only. Every year Crores and Crores of Rupees are invested into medical research about women’s diseases only.

Everyone is concerned about breast cancer, but how many people even know about prostate cancer?

Do you know that the chances of a man dying of cancer are twice as much as a woman dying of cancer?

Still, no one talks about men’s health.

5) One argument that I often face when interacting with feminists – they will always brag about dowry death numbers – one dowry death every ‘x’ minutes.

Just tell them the definition of dowry death in India – ‘Any death of a married woman under un-natural circumstances within 7 years of marriage’ is automatically termed dowry death. Hence, the numbers are high.

Suicide is the most common form of death under un-natural circumstances, and we know from the above point number 1 as to who is pushed to suicide more.

6) Sex Ratio in India

Sex ratio:
At birth:	1.12 male(s)/female (2009)
Under 15:	1.10 male(s)/female (2009)
15-64 years:	1.06 male(s)/female (2009)
65-over:	0.90 male(s)/female (2009)

This is for all the feminists that keep crying foul over female infanticide. Look at the numbers – India kills 0.02 males per female between the age of 0 and 15. (There are 1.12 males per female at birth, and only 1.1 remain by the time they reach the age of 15). It proves that girl child is taken better care of by Indian families.

And the trend continues through out the life. Notice how the sex ratio continues to change, with only 0.9 males remaining per female beyond the age of 65.

So, next time you see an old woman alone, think in your mind that she must have killed her husband before time (Very soon, someone needs to write an article called “Missing Men” in response to Amartya Sen’s article on ‘100 Million Missing Women’).

7) 80 – 85% of divorces are initiated by women.

WHAT THIS MEANS? Under the age of 14, women are 6% more likely to commit suicide, but the suicide rate increases drastically upto 116% more for males WHEN CHILDREN START TO TAKE GENDER BASED ROLES!
