		<description>Hi Theepa, I have read all the comments. I have also read the poem.I have to also agree with Easwary. It is important to bring stories like this out for which I salute you. At the same time wording is very very important although said that "meaning is not in words but in people" My piece of advice is to take things positively and improve. I just copy the sayings from Easwary's email which is very true. 
“Those who praise you at present are dining with you at the same table; "Those who point out your mistakes are helping you found a healthy future path”. We need people like you. Keep up the good work.

		<description>Easwary Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation. 

September 24th, 2008 at 10:17 pm 

When I wrote the comments I did not know the author of it.  Therefore, it is not to hurt you.  

Secondly, I did not say “misuse” of words.  They were very transparent and decorative descriptions to my eyes.    

The secretion coughed by an animal reached ornamental decoration in the blog… e.g.

   “…checked all over … inch by inch…” 
   “…lay on …”
   “…will it hurt?…”
   “… each time a man entered …”
   “…her legs were …”

When reading the incident it gave me an impression that I was reading a novel. Please read the comment by “Vino”- “This story must be given enough publicity”.  It did not occur to that personhim to say as incident.  All as if a movie was being watched!

On a healthily maintained lawn, a weed, though it is also green, it does not get the attention of everyone, except those who care for the lawn!

Still, this article painfully drew my attention, you succeeded!  


I do know
The steel cover is full of scars
In everyone’s life;
Never let that carry
Ever your emotions!


Good continuation!

P.S. SOLITARY REPORTER: PLEASE RE POST THIS MATTER AFTER REMOVING THE SIMILAR ARTICLE, BECAUSE, WHILE COPYING AND PASTING THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE, SOME WORDS GOT DELETED.  THANK YOU.</description>

		<description>Quick definitions (propaganda)

▸ noun:  information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause...

2. Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.

Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist.

—Garth S. Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell, Propaganda and Persuasion

Here, I believe that this is a reasonable propaganda to keep awake all those who knew the incident and also to inform those who did not know the incident! In a way, soliciting for a reasonable cause is not considered wrong!

Cool down lady!</description>

		<description>Easwary said on he 21/09/2008 and Theepa replied 21/09/08 posted above on 24/09/08: 

Though I do not express myself in a convincing way to satisfy our Tamil friends, my painful feeling for our people remain deep in me.  Each time I read a discrimination or violence in the media, it hurts deep in me. I wonder as to 
when all these would come to an end and how it would happen.  
 
I am not against the article or this kind of propaganda.  It could have been better worded, especially the sexual harassment Krishanthy underwent.  

As a mother, as a woman, it did hurt me to read it so transparent.  I could notsleep the night I read this article.  I woke up around 1 a.m. and I wrote the message.
  
May be I am over reacting, but careful wordings or vocabulary would have been appropriate. 
 
Circulation of this to all my friends also a propaganda in a way.</description>

		<description>Reaction to Easwary's comments dated 20/09/08 by Cherran: (In case Theepa did not know about it?)

I agree with you, but nobody knows about the pain and suffering a person went through in his last moments when his dead body washed ashore or his decaptiated 
body found in the bushes. 
We are too concerned about numbers,I guess. When a girl is abducted and found dead the next day, its taken as an isolated incident.
The person who wrote this (Theepa) may be failed in her attempt to show the pain and suffering. I also felt uneasy when reading some of the sentences. 
 
But in a period where people lost insights and fall prey to propaganda, this kind of attempt is much needed. You stressed a great point here. 
I hope she will take that in to account and improve.</description>

		<description>I agree with you that my wording are so powerful. I donot get which kept you awake and disturbed you. Whether the power of the words or the transparancy of the incident.If it is the trasparancy of the incident,I am happy my intention succeded as transparancy is the only way which would bring out more of Krishanthi's. It is not propaganda. It is the feelings I felt when I heard the stories. Just telling in one sentence that they raped her or murdered her will not describe the real sufferings. Our people should know what is going on. If it kept you disturbed, yes I want that to happen anyone who reads it. Read my poetry 'do they know ' As a woman who witnessed the sufferings, who met the women who survived after the torture I am tough enough to use those words.</description>

		<description>It is a heart breaking story. My heart goes out to all the girls no matter where they are being abused and used by the situation. Real freedom to womanhood is free from this torture. How are we going to stop this cruelty happening.</description>

		<description>It's touchy.  It's delicate matter.  Krishanthy was violated 40 times. Why continue even after she died? Kindly find solutions to save other Krishanthys than continuing to rape her even after her death.  

The trend of this article is vulgar "...each time her legs..." 

Though heart bleeds for Krishanthy, this article makes angry even at the person who wrote this!</description>
