IS SHE A 'SHE' ?? WHO DECIDES ??

When media decides to weave a distasteful story and feed us what are we ,the so called commoners supposed to do?Keep mum like mommas best child or react in every possible way ? I am using the word react because revolt,according to me is a very strong word .PINKY PRAMANIK AN ATHLETE......... and the rest ,we all know.Read today,she has been released on bail after spending almost a month in the lock up.

Pinky is apprehensive about getting back her job with the railways.Her social life is definitely  going to suffer as our very eminent media has ghastly tarnished her image.Nobody has the right to publicize her anatomical detais and genetical findings  in such a disgraceful manner.Each and every individual is entitled to his /her right to privacy and hers has been encroached and how !!
All this while,that for almost a month she was not allowed to narrate her side of the story,or may be that was not made public. Media is very clever ,knows the appetite of its readers.Media calculated pretty well that Pinki Pramanik is not a sensitive person but a very sensitive issue which can supply fodder to the insatiable public at least for a week.As I fall into the bracket of AAM ADMI  I would also like to presume that this issue  was deliberately made a front page news to divert our attention from the more serious issues.Must have given our esteemed politicians an opportunity to buy time because the next volley of questions is going to be on the water logging and poor sewerage disposal in the city .

Coming back to the point, the mysterious part of the story is the charge itself..The player has been accused of a rape charge.I fail to understand how could the other woman,her friend ,  level such a horrendous charge against her after spending three years with Pinky under the same roof? Pinky says that her friend had stolen a gold chain and had threatened to circulate her nude pictures if she did not cough up twenty lakh !!

 I am addressing Pinki as HER because that is what SHE prefers.this is not her fault if she was born with some anomalies , many of us are.That said ,why dont we appreciate her for the fact that she did not sit at some corner of her home cribbing and cursing her fate and instead channelised all her energy towards a particular sport.

As of now we do not know who is right or who is wrong however media had a very responsible role to play and they failed,the whole story was in a very  bad taste . Further, to add to our dismay, the research department,doctors ,the lawyers and the police department who usually work in tandem in such cases and are not supposed to let out the details till they reach something conclusive ,also acted in an extremely irresponsible manner.

Its good to know that Pinkis father Sri Durgacharan Pramanik and Ms Jyotirmoyee Shikdar,a former athlete have extended their full support to the girl.Who knows ,this could be a well planned ploy to queer her pitch.......not very uncommon in an arena like this.........DO NOT FORGET THAT PINKY WON A GOLD MEDAL FOR INDIA AT THE ASIAN GAMES .............................................................................................................................
