Suicidal males are very hard to detect, which means they are not likely to get the intervention they needed to seek mental health.

I am not sure if it's a good idea for the cabby to let her tie anything on him ..

[–]Proud_Box_3536 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I am pretty sure this is some of her lawyer tricks

We will see

So it's the Lucknow girl case again. And amazingly the public is on the man's side to such an extent that the original police who fucked things up so bad they arrested him not her, are off the case and some other cops took it?

I suppose the Rakhi move is supposed to make her sound contrite though obviously the cab driver isn't going to let her come within a mile of him if he can help it. Plus to people not from India it just sounds like a sexist / abusive custom anyway but I expect it's not seen that way at all in India. But it sounds like a move demanding more from the cab driver rather than one expressing regret or contrition by her. I guess you have to know the custom.

Even with all this the article is careful to take seriously her bat shit insane (and now disproven) claims,

had alleged that the cab driver tried to crush her when she was crossing the road due to the red light at the intersection. Angered by this, Priyadarshini slapped the cab driver

There's video (that went viral) showing she walked into traffic right in front of many vehicles and while the light was green for the oncoming vehicles. This statement they repeat is known to be false and self serving yet they repeat it (at least they also balance it with the truth of what happened).

Didn't really understand what is happening in the article. I am not familiar with indian customs. What is that she wants to tie around his hands?

[–]Futurefrog38785 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

Rakhi is like a band which is tied around by a sister to her brother with the promise that the brother will protect her from any Danger ......... It is a yearly event

[–]evil_banana 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Am I missing something or is this a sister's way of letting her brother know that she considers him expendable?

[–]MysteriousNomad87 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

That’s rather a reductive way of seeing it. I’d receive a rakhi from each of my female cousins (if they are unable to tie it themselves) and it reaffirms an unconditional familial love shared between a brother and his sister by wishing each other happiness, prosperity and protection; irrespective of the distance between them.

And it isn’t just limited to between boys and girls or men and women, as I know many girls who would tie a rakhi to their own sisters to symbolise the bond they share and wish each other the same love, happiness, protection and prosperity they would wish for their brothers.

[–]evil_banana 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I read a few articles and it looks like most people see it as well wishing on the sisters part but, it's also mentioned on most that the sister gives her brother symbolic protection in the form of the bracelet in exchange for actual protection when their father isn't there to throw his life at danger anymore. Danger being needing somewhere to stay and physical protection in cases of marriage gone sour (that's the only specific case i saw).

So maybe a little reductive but based on the articles it's fairly accurate. As all customs it can obviously mean different things to different people though.

[–]MysteriousNomad87 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

“As all customs it can obviously mean different things to different people though.”

That is indeed true. As you’ve asked about it being “a sister’s way of letting her brother know that she considers him expendable”, what prompted my response in return is I’ve that witnessed not-dissimilar observations being made by radical “womanists” and their disingenuous claims the ancient custom is purposely sexist against women, because “it portrays them as weak”, that they “don’t need any man, let alone their own brother, to defend nor protect them” and “women should only be tying a rakhi on their sisters to protect them the evils from men”.

So whilst I understand customs can be viewed with a variety of subjective lens, sometimes offering an objective view on a historical religious custom can offer a different perspective from modern society’s unfortunate fixation on gender politics.

[–]manicraccoon 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It is same in every culture. Men are supposed to protect women. A brother is supposed to protect his sister. Just that India has a festival for it.

[–]IntroductionNew3421 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

And why would he promise to protect her?

[–]airfox3522[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I hope he is not stupid about it
