THE CLASS PERPECTIVES...

The most embarrassing moment happened in the class and that too with me. Everything was fine in the morning till the constitutional law teacher came and started bugging the class with her exotic and obscure nature for this subject. I was sitting at the back bench of the class and calmly tried to read the same thing which the standing girl was reading in front of the whole class, suddenly what comes in the mind of mam, she just raised her eye brows for me, I was trying to hide myself but couldn’t able to escape as she is having an eagle’s eye particularly for the back benchers. And the arrow straightway came to me…ahhh…”the boy sitting at the back, stand up…tell me what you are reading”, I was about to give the reply, but before that she fired another bullet towards me, “tell me what do you understand by the creamy layer?”, first I thought why she is talking about cream and butter, I became unconscious after her sudden and grave attack but somehow I controlled my senses and thought to speak, then again she puked, “yes! You, I am talking to you, why are you nodding your head (in actually I was trying to look here and there as that question not for me…hehehe)”. After third attack I figured out ok! This question is for me, wow…Farhan…hats off for you; first time in class mam asked you something and you have to say something it is the matter of your image and I exploded, “creamy layer is that layer of person which is excluded from the benefit of reservation”, I didn’t stop my sentence yet, and she started bombarding on me, “everybody knows this that creamy is excluded but what is creamy layer, tell me exactly”, I was feeling embarrassed that she is bombarding on me in front of the whole class, I stood silent for the couple of seconds, then I again tried my luck, “those who is financially sound”, oh my God and this time she was preparing to drop nuclear bomb on me, but somehow one girl saved my a** and added something in my sentence that ‘those backward classes who are economically sound’. Thank God I just survived somehow. TeacherS are for this only, they just know how to make students nervous by bombardment of their tricky questions. But then also I love my teacher as they are very kind to me in rest of the situations.

The subject of homosexuality is still a matter of debates among the masses, as today also in my class there was little bit of discussion on this critical issue. Our legal Language teacher brought us a whole judgment of Delhi High court. The judgment is not legalized the marriage of homosexuals but it just decriminalized the penile-non vaginal sex between two consenting adults in private, the purpose of this judgment is to safeguard the rights of certain group of people and make them realize that they are not exempted from the society, they are the part of our society. So, thus, they also comes under the protection of Part III-fundamental rights of Indian Constitution. However, many of the scholars impliedly said that this judgment allows the gay marriages also, but it is nowhere given in the judgment about institution of marriage. This judgment doesn’t change the definition of marriage in either way it is more specific towards the institution of marriage as it is not dealt with the term ‘marriage’. If we see in a broader perspective then the act of sex itself is allowed in two consenting adults (unless and until any of them is not married otherwise it will come under adultery), so what if Delhi High court allowed the act of penile-non vaginal sex. And it avoids and abstains many cruelties of police on them; it is just to safeguard the interest of these peoples. The act of marriage is still not legal, ‘it says between two consenting adults in private’, so here private means ‘the place which is exonerated from the public place, and the marriage is a public affair, you have to go for registration and once you go for a registration then it cannot be a ‘private’. So marriage is still not legal as per my interpretation, and Supreme Court also said that the judgment of High Court is nothing to relate with marriage. And after all the Supreme court is the only organ which can interpret the laws more precisely and exactly.
