"First hearing of Miss. Kalpana Subramaniyam case is today. A case of a women who wore indecent dress in national science council 2018 was accused of abusing Indian culture and disrespecting our prime minister by sitting beside him on stage. She has been charged against ipc sectiom 153A, 295 and 295A. This is Anitha with camera-man Abdul for PVTV."

 

        "That was good, Anitha." admired Andul. "I know dude. I'm doing this for years. To be honest, I'm bored by reporting these silly news. I want to cover something big, news that will become a landmark in nation's history." "Then all the best, you maybe covering something like that today". " Really dude, who is gonna care about semi-naked scientist when celebrities are getting married in our channel". "hahaha, that's right."

 

        Anitha was suprised to see Mr. Antony Sylvester. He was a conservative celebrity in the court who rarely appeared only for intensive and important cases. "Why is he here?" she asked Abdul. "That semi-naked scientist turns out to be his close friends niece, so he is going to appear for her". " you prick, why didn't you tell me before? and how do you know this?" "You know, I'm not just a PVTV camera-man and I have my ways", He gave a tab on her shoulder and added "as I told you, this is going to be your simething big". "Ok then stop talking and role camera, let me show who Anitha really is" She hurried.

 

        Both ran towards Antony and without any hestitation Anitha asked him "do you think just because Miss.Kalpana is your friends niece does she have the rights to disrespect our culture?" He smiled to show her that this is not first time he is facing word playing reporter and said "offcourse she does, not as my close friend's niece but as a Indian citizen".

 

         Inside court Antony has to face Ravi Menon, a advocate from a trust called "Bharath sanskar sabha". This is the trust that filed case against Kalpana. Expression from Menon's face clearly tells he didn't expected Antony to appear for this case. He knew that Sylvester Associates is handling the case but he expected some junior but this was more shocking than surprising for him and his trust.

 

         "Your honour, I want to intregate Miss.Kalpana Subramaniyan" Menon asked for her with confidence as this is a clear case of cultural abuse and act to spread violence. Kalpana came infront of judge, took her oath and Menon asked "do you consider yourself a modern women?" she replied "in sense of knowing my rights and femine values, yes I'm" Menon gave a cunning smile and added "and in sense of wearing provocative dress too, am I right Miss.Kalpana?" .She doesn't find words to reply this comment. Then Menon went on "did you attended last weeks National Science Council 2018?", for which without hesitation she replied positively. "What were you wearing?" "A black jacket and a black mini-skirt" "I want details Miss Kalpana". She hesitated and remained silent and waited Antony will ask objection for this inappropriate question but he didn't even gave a look at her. "Give me the details, Miss Kalpana. Your silence is not helping anyone." She still remained silent. " if you can't let I will help you out here. You were wearing a tight, thin cloth shirt which gave semi-transparent view of your breast and a over-coat. For bottom you were wearing a black mini-shirt which 7-8 inches above your knee. Am I right Miss.Kalpana?" "sorry, I didn't noticed exact measurement" she replied with agony. "But the world did." he shouted at her " when you are sitting at on the stage next to our country prime minister you should have noticed and measured your dressing sense. The way you exposed your body brought our culture values to knees.You are just a disgrace to the society and I real pity you". He then turned towards judge "as you can see your honor she didn't denied her way of dressing during the council. You judgement, your honor, will be a lesson to every person of today's generation who thinks culture is just a joke.  So I request you to give punishment that she deserves and protect the dignity of our culture". His voice crossed doors of room which his intense and love to Indian culture. His angry towards peoplw who try to destory the identity of a nation exposed and convince people that she must be punished.

 

          "Now the defender can shoot" judge had his style of welcoming Antony. "Thank you your honor and thanks to Mr. Menon for loading my gun" Antony didn't lose his cool and charm even in this situtation "I like call upon misses.Anjali Arora, chief coordinator of National science council 2018, your Honor". She came and he asked her "Why was miss.kalpana was invited for the event?" "Cause, you know, she is a scientist who has found a revolutionary cure for blood cancer". "Ok, was there any indication or any information given to the guest  and students regarding their dress?". "No, normally everyone prefer a decent wear during these kinda ceremony. So, no much importants were given on what people should wear". Antony turned to judge and said "note this point, your honor. No information was provided on what people should wear for the event" "objection, your honor. She was representing our nation and everybody knows that people should look decent in such events" menon objected.

 

             "objection over ruled" said judge. Thank you, your honor. As I was saying no precaution were provided. Now I would like to interrogate dsp Vijay Sivam" Antony called for Vijay. "Mr. Vijay Sivam, may I know why this case is filed under ipc sectiom 153A, 295 and 295A?" "She was trying to attack hindu religion by wearing provocative dress and disturb the harmony in worship place" "The venue where event held was IIT Madras, how does a educational institute became a place of worship?" Antony probed Vijay Sivam. "According to hindu religion, a place where knowledge is provided, is considered as goddess saraswathi temple. By that mean she was at a worship place" Vijay replied with a arrogant way

 

               "I WOULD LIKE YOU TO REMIND THAT INDIAN LAW SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK ACCORDING FOR ANY PARTICULAR RELIGION OR BEHALF OF IT."

               Antony said and turned to judge "that's all your honor". "Anything you want to ask Mr.Menon" judge question "No, your honor" he replied in confused. He was confused that where Antony is taking this case to.

 

             

         Antony gave his closure statement "A nations progress is decided by the way constitution is designed and how it's intereputed. Here, in this case, the conflict is between liberty and group of religious extremist.." "I object your honor, defender has no rights to call bharat sanskar shabha a extremist group" Mr. Menon rosed in fire. "It's not the bss but it's the way it protrays this case, your honor" Antony explained "anyhow, you have no rights to label some without evidence" judge showed him his limit. "sry your honor, as I was saying, I believe our constitution clearly separates religion from state and state includes our educational institutes. Dsp Vijay Sivam said Hindu religion consider educational institute as temple of saraswati so case was filed against Miss.Kalpana, which is clearly using once ideology to supress individual liberty. A educational institute is a place different ideology flow and knowledge is discovered. How could we restrict to one ideology? Let miss.Kalpana go free and continue her research. Let liberty live. That's all your honour".

 

         After hearing this, judge asked menon for final statement but he refused. He then postponed judgement for next week.

 

         Anitha say Antony coming out and she blocked him, "Do you belief anyone can disrespect our culture?". For which he replied, "Offcourse not, but I believe a religion's ideology is not Indian culture and Indian constitution is above all religion". The reply was unexpected from this conservative. Maybe what he said was to save his friends niece or a scientist but what he said right,

 

 "NO RELIGION IS ABOVE INDIAN CONSTITUTION".
