I hate to post this. It is second day of brand new year and posting something like this is depressing in its own way. But I have to post this because this too happened in rising ,shining ,marching India.

2011 was forgetful year in itself. Barring Anna’s movement which showed that people rise to occasion to make their anger felt to insensitive politicians , there was little to be excited about other than MSD and Indian team’s world cup victory.

Come 2012 , news which grabbed my attention was shocking news of 7 year old kid (girl) killed by two men and her liver offered as sacrificial gesture to god for better harvest. How stupid, horrifying , ignorant things can be…

The incident is from Chhattisgarh’s tribal belt which has strong presence of Maoist too. The incident ironically happened on sunday that is 1st Jan 2012!!!!!!!!!!

Both men have been arrested but this kinds of incident do question about have we really  moved forward?. In country with 120 crore plus people , I completely understand that there is huge challenge for government to educate , to give jobs , to have proper medical care , to have proper awareness among each and every citizen but if 64 years where not enough , then how many would be enough?

This is not just one off incident. I was watching crime patrol on sony television which had similar kind of incident in which step mother sacrifices her step son . Some foolish so called tantrik had advised her that if she does get her step son killed , god would bless her with son from her own womb.

It is true that India has thriving middle class. It is true that Indian companies are now acquiring foreign firms and are having multinational presence. it is true that economy inspite of slow down if growing. It is true that Indian human force is well respected in the world but at same time the news of kind which I posted today is also truth. The truth that we still have long long way to go. The truth that building sky scrapers or metros or even going to the moon doesnot mean that we have progressed until it thoughts of sections of society evolve to level of humaness…

I feel sorry for the girl. Real sorry…

They call themselves custodian of traditions. They call it vedic culture and pronouce verdicts which can compete with taliban of pakistan and afghanistan!!!!!!!

20 heads of village panchyat met in what they call as mahapanchayat. Agenda was recent judgement given by court against people involved in case of honour killing. The verdict was loud and clear . Death penalty for so called custodians who themselves turn judges against consitution of India and give verdict to kill couples.

Honour killing has nothing honourable in it. Brothers killing their sisters for marrying against social customs , villagers announcing couple to live as brother and sisters are some of verdicts given by so called caste leaders.

These caste leaders are now demanding ammendment in hindu marriage act and making marriage in same gothra or subcaste as criminal offense.

It is ok to demand for ammendment. Every one in community has right to put forward his/her views and views of community but no one has right to kill anyone in name of traditions.

Rule of law and constitution are pinnacle in any democractic country and all citizens have to abide by it.

A couple were not able to become parents. Married since 12 years , they were desperate to have their own children.A god man enters their life and seems to have solution to their problem.

He precribes sacrificing 11 children and according to him these sacrifices would lead to blessing of god and couple would be able to have their own child.

Couple went ahead with this advise and killed 5 children in span of 1 and half months before finally getting arrested by police.

Adoption is always a option for childless couple but alas adoption is rare thing which a childless couple do.

Those who are childless must visit orphange personally , this may help them change their mind. Innocent children , some orphan because parents died but most of them orphan because they were dumped. In india pre maritial sex is considered to be taboo and child born out of it is hardly accepted. Such children are often dumped to avoid social pressures.

As far as this shocking case is concerned , it also reflects ignorance of part of couple towards god man and more importantly towards god. Which god would get pleased by human sacrifice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
