‘Virgin girl is like sealed bottle,’ Jadavpur University professor posts on Facebook, deletes it

贾达普大学教授在Facebook上发帖称：“处女就像密封的瓶子”

KOLKATA: A Facebook post from a Jadavpur University professor espousing “virgin brides” has invited criticism from various quarters. Kanak Sarkar, who has been teaching international relations in JU for the past two decades, said he had voiced his personal opinion. He subsequently deleted the post.

加尔各答:贾达普大学的一位教授在Facebook上发表了一篇支持“处女新娘”的帖子，招致了来自不同方面的批评。卡纳克•萨卡尔(Kanak Sarkar)过去20年一直在贾达普大学教授国际关系课程，他表示自己表达的是个人观点，随后删除了这篇帖子。

Sarkar, who had even earlier posted comments on Facebook that could be deemed controversial, reportedly wrote a piece, arguing for virgin brides in his series, titled, “Value Oriented Social Counselling for Educated Youth”. His areas of specialization are political sociology, political thought, constitution and government, human ri hts and law, development administration, ethnicity and terrorism.

据报道，早前曾在Facebook上发表有争议言论的萨卡尔发了一篇帖子--标题为《知识青年的价值取向社会咨询》，支持处女新娘。他的专业领域是政治社会学、政治思想、宪法和政府、人*和法律、发展管理、种族和恐怖主义。

The screenshots of the post, “Virgin Bride-Why Not?”, went viral even after it was deleted. Some of the screenshots available showed comments, such as “Are you willing to buy a broken seal while purchasing a bottle of cold drink or a packet of biscuits?”, “A girl is biologically sealed from birth until it is opened. A virgin girl means many things accompanied as values, culture, sexual hygiene” and “Virgin girl is like Sealed Bottle or sealed packet”.

这篇帖子被删除后还在网上疯传，帖子截图显示“为什么不选择处女新娘呢?你买冷饮或饼干时，愿意购买包装破损的吗? 女孩从出生时，生理上都是密封的。直到被“打开”。处女意味着很多内涵，比如价值观、文化、性卫生等等。处女就像密封的瓶子或密封的包装”。

Following the criticisms, Sarkar responded on Facebook: “I write my personal opinion. Supreme Court has repealed section 66 A of IT Act and given freedom of expression in Social Media. When Taslima Nasrin wrote against a particular religion we supported her Freedom of Expression. We are supporting Bengali Poet Srijato who writes about Hindu Gods. I have not written anything against any person, individual or anybody without any evidence or proof or any reference. I am doing social research and writing for the good and wellbeing of Society. The recent post I have given in ‘Kalom’ and ‘Mukto Kalom’ public group only. Many are sharing screen shots. I request not to confuse. It’s everybody’s right to express his/ her thoughts. I have given many posts for and in favour of women. Can verify them in my Timeline.” He reiterated the same opinion to TOI, adding his comments were generic in nature. “These are my personal posts and nothing to do with the university,” he told TOI.

遭受批评之后，萨卡尔在Facebook上回应道:“我写的是个人观点。最高法院废除了《信息技术法案》第66条A款，并赋予社交媒体言论*由。当塔斯利马·纳斯林反对某一宗教时，我们支持她的言论*由。我们支持孟加拉诗人Srijato，他写了印度教的神。我没有在没有任何证据、证明或参考的情况下写过任何不利于其他人的东西。我在做社会研究，为社会的福祉写作。最近的帖子我只在“Kalom”和“Mukto Kalom”公共组发表过。许多人在分享屏幕截图，我请求不要混淆视听。每个人都有权利表达自己的想法。我写了很多支持女性的帖子，可以在我的历史消息里查证。他向《印度时报》重申了同样的观点，并补充说他的评论本质上是泛泛的。他告诉《印度时报》:“这些都是我个人的帖子，与学校无关。”

“This kind of statement reflects a closed mentality, which is not open to change. Even as the world moves ahead, some tend to wade in pre-historic era. It shows that the mind is very orthodox and gender biased,” said Dr Sanjay Garg, head of mental and behavioural sciences at Fortis hospital. Bivas Chatterjee, special public prosecutor on cyber law and electronic evidence, said, “Unless there is a complaint by a person that they are aggrieved, it is difficult to construe such general statements as an offence. Freedom of speech is, however, not all pervasive.”

富通医院精神与行为科学主任桑杰•加格(Sanjay Garg)博士表示:“这种说法反映了一种封闭的心态，这种心态是不会改变的。即使世界在向前发展，有些人的思想还是停留在史前时代。这表明，人们的思想非常传统，而且存在性别歧视。”网络法律和电子证据检察官比瓦斯•查特吉(Bivas Chatterjee)表示:“除非有人投诉自己受到了伤害，否则很难将此类一般性陈述视为犯罪。”

What is wrong in it? Can anybody deny? Now some pseudo intellectuals will creat controversy to project how much they know and to prove themselves very large hearted. When their own tern came most of them followed exactly what the prof has expressed.

Personally I dont think he said anything wrong, why a good well cultured boy can not expect a virgin girl? whats wrong if he expect a virgin girl. and whatever he said its true that Virgin girl means a lot than just virgin.

我认为他没说错什么，为什么一个受过良好教育的男孩不能要求对方是处女呢? 这有什么不对。他说的没错，处女不仅仅代表贞洁，还包含其他东西。

Although I do not support what the professor said or share his views, but I have s question. This professor wasn't ra or molesting anybody or perpetuating hatred against women. He was simply stating a scientific fact, albiet in a dramatic way

虽然我不支持教授所说的，也不同意他的观点，但是我有一个问题。这位教授并没有强奸或猥亵任何人，也没有对女性怀有仇恨。他只是用一种激进的方式陈述了一个事实。

Ddindian -

OK, one will ensure that seal was not broken before marriage but how will you ensure that no one sips from the bottle once seal is broken by you?

你要确保密封条在婚前没有被打开，但是一旦你打开了，你要如何确保其他人不会乘虚而入呢?

With Cosmetic surgery any girl can be a virgin. It is only superficial. Virgin wife does not necessarily mean a good wife. Technically all the sportswomen will not be considered virgin.

通过手术，女孩都可以成为处女。这只是表面现象，贞洁的妻子并不一定意味着是好妻子。严格来说，所有的女运动员都不被视为处女。

This man is not fit to be a Professor teaching children. Seems to have a primitive mindset of sexuality, marriage and relationships. If the seal is intact, does the mean the contents inside havent been tasted, idiot.

这个人不适合当教授，他似乎对性、婚姻和关系保持一种原始的心态。即使“封条”完好无损，也不代表是处女，傻瓜。
