"Save Indian family Foundation ". This is a name which few people would have heard or cared about 4 years back, but today this is a force to recon with . The members has reached lakhs both Indian and abroad and most members consist of well heeled educated Men and their families . SIF Also has a huge number of women followers, they consists of sisters , mothers , sister- in –laws , grandmothers and also unrelated women . These women are members because they too are falsely implicated by India's wife protection laws. The men of SIF protect the women of their families from the extortionist wives , corrupt police and Biased judiciary.
In the last 150 days SIF has been mentioned in the media for more than 60 days or in other words 60 different articles of SIF are published in the media. If every article has been read at least 100,000 people then about 8 million people would have knows or heard about SIF and that is something to be proud of .
We believe in the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and we get our inspiration from this great man , We believe in his words
" First they ignore you , then they mock you , then they fight you , then you win ".
Supreme court Justice Markendu Katju seems to be still is in the second stage where he still believes that Men are something to be exploited and made fun of , but in other areas we are well into the third stage where we are waging a war against many fronts . We wage a war against the biased laws in India which are created only for wives and do not think of the welfare of other women also leave alone the men . We fight against the biased judiciary which teats men with disdain and pass judgments which are totally biased and one sided against men no matter who is at fault . We also fight against the blatant number fudging that is done by the Womens organizations to come up with sensational false numbers in order to get media attention and attract more foreign funds with which they can push for more biased laws and justify the existence of the current biased laws. Then we also actively wage a war against corruption in the Police department and Crime Against Women cells because these places have becomes more like an extortion den where compromises are made and money is extorted from the helpless husband and his family after being trapped under a biased law.
SIF is aware the odds stacked against it , it knows very well that media and industry would love to see more families break up , because family breakup increases spending and drives up the demands for the goods and products . A united family will own one TV while a dived family will need two is the simple reasoning . The Police and lawyers do not want the laws to change , because then they will lose income from the lakhs of false cases , bail proceeding from dowry cases and the general ability to extort money from helpless people implicated under these laws . Women's organizations do not want gender neutral laws since they would then have close their `Women's right shop ` and be out of business , since they would not be able to get foreign aid in the name of Woman empowerment .
But SIF knows it will win , because SIF is on the same side as truth is and we believe that "Truth Always Wins"( Satyamev Jayate ). SIF many not have the blessings of the government of India , but we do have the blessings of thousands of mothers , grandmothers and sisters who work and fight with us day in and day out trying to educate the slumbering Indian populace . SIF has the support of hundreds of small but nevertheless important NGO's who work with us to spread the word on how gender biased laws and the wake the people of India to gender equality. We know we will win and we will succeed in creating a Ministry for the Welfare of Indian Men . We know that the night is darkest before the sun shines and the SIF has no doubt that the sun will shine and spread the rays of hope , peace and family harmony that will keep the Indian family as a cohesive unit for the next ten thousand years .

Renuka loss is our gain : Swrarup Sarkar in Mid-day |

Renuka's loss is our gain - Swrarup Sarkar ( in Mid-day ) Ex-Union minister Renuka Chaudhary's election defeat is being celebrated by a group of men who have been demanding the abolition of the controversial Domestic Violence Act. They are happy that with Chaudhury's ouster as the women and child development minister, the act may be done away with..
Former Union minister Renuka Chaudhary lost the Lok Sabha elections from Khammam constituency in Andhra Pradesh.
The winner, Nama Nageshwara Rao of the Telugu Desam Party, is celebrating. But Swarup Sarkar of Delhi is celebrating more.
 | The law will stay: Renuka Chaudhary |
The reason: Sarkar is the Delhi coordinator of Save Family Foundation (SFF), a group that has been demanding the abolition of the controversial Domestic Violence Act (DV Act) that they allege is pro-women and is often abused in cases of marital discord.
The group holds Chaudhary responsible for introducing and supporting the DV Act and Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
"Renuka is among the people who introduced the draconian Section 498-A of IPC and the Domestic Violence Act. These laws have become a tool to harass married men by giving unlimited benefits to wives," said Sarkar.
The SFF is celebrating the former woman and child development minister's defeat with crackers, sweets and congratulatory messages. "I received almost 50-60 messages on the day of counting.
People from all over the country were celebrating Renuka Chaudhary's loss. Later on, we forwarded the congratulatory emails to the official mail address of the Women and Child Development Ministry," said Sarkar.
Sarkar and SFF have been running a campaign against the DV Act and Section 498-A, demanding the creation of a Men Welfare Ministry on the lines of the one for women.
"Every year, lakhs of men throughout the country lose their reputation, job and almost everything because their wives lodge complaints against them under these laws.
Not just the men but their mothers, sisters and other family members are harassed under false complaints of dowry and ill treatment by in-laws," said Sarkar.
SFF and Sarkar had met Chaudhary before the elections regarding their demands but after being denied any help, the group started a campaign against the former minister through emails, SMSes and blogs.
The campaign also targeted Congress leader Margaret Alva, who the SFF claims, was the brain behind Section 498-A when it was introduced in 1983.
MiD DAY tried contacting both Chaudhary and Alva for their reactions. While Alva was not available on her landline phone numbers, Renuka in an irritated tone accepted that she knew about SFF.
"I know about their celebrations. It's a democratic country and let him celebrate. But I don't think it is worth celebrating," Chaudhary said.
When asked about the SFF's demand to abolish the DV Act and amend Section 498-A, she came up with a big no.
"The law cannot be changed. It is there to save women who are harassed by their in-laws. I don't think there is any strength in their demand," Chaudhary said.
What the laws say
Section 498-A, IPC, provides wives with the right to move court against any act of cruelty for dowry.
The DV Act covers not only wives and live-in-partners, but also sisters, mothers, mothers-in-law or any other female relative living with a violent man, who can be jailed for a year for beating, threatening and even shouting at them.
While the DV Act provides yet another provision for a woman with ulterior motives to initiate criminal proceedings against the husband, a major loophole in the Act is its Section 14(5).
The section reads that the respondents shall not be allowed to plead any counter justification for the alleged act of domestic violence, a clear flouting of Human Rights.
