Say no to abuse: In India, the evil practice of abusing is more or less visible in the whole country. Be it children or old people, out of prudence or indiscretion or in quarrels, many people start abusing at every small thing, showing their rudeness. If someone says something, they start abusing. In matters related to anger and resentment, many people abuse as soon as they open their mouth. In fights, quarrels and other disputes, the first thing they do is to abuse the other person. From gossips in the neighborhood to office gossips or any matter of high and low, from malls to hospitals, from buses to metros and trains to flights, abuses are heard everywhere. Amidst all such roles, a commendable initiative has been taken in a village to remove the evil practice of abusing, which should be followed in the whole country.
‘Don’t abuse’
Whether it is your Mann Ki Baat or not. Whom should you get angry at or not, especially those who use foul language, our humble request to them is that they should not abuse anywhere… anytime and to anyone. Abuse spoils the mind. The identity in society gets spoiled. People do not look at abusive people with good eyes. Keeping all these things in mind, responsible people of a village in Maharashtra have resolved to stop the use of abusive words during conversation.
Saundala model
Saundala village has also decided to impose a fine of Rs 500 on those who use abusive language. Sarpanch Sharad Aragade says that the Gram Sabha of the village of Nevasa tehsil of Ahilyanagar district has passed a resolution against the use of abusive language for the dignity and self-respect of women.
What’s in the proposal?
Aragade, who moved the proposal, said using abusive language targeting mothers and sisters during arguments is common in the village, located about 300 km from Mumbai. “Those who use such language forget that what they say in the name of mothers and sisters applies to the female members of their own family as well. We have decided to ban abusive language and a fine of Rs 500 will be imposed on those using abusive language,” he said.
Aragade said the decision is an effort to respect the dignity and self-respect of women in society. “We include widows in social and religious rituals and customs. Similarly, removing sindoor, taking off mangalsutra and breaking bangles (after the death of the husband) is prohibited in our village,” he said.
According to the 2011 census, the village has 1,800 people. Aragade said that Saundala received a state-level award for being a dispute-free village in 2007. The famous Shani Shingnapur temple is located in Nevasa taluka.
