The Other Side-dark side of society (ii)



Like any other human I use to read news paper in morning, I am talking about newspaper not about the gossip tabloid type things and most of the time I feel disappointed when I read the news. They are mostly about corruption politics or cricket but these type of news just disappoint me I never get angry after reading them. But sometime there is some news which not only makes you angry but also makes you think are we living in a democratic and if not very developed but a developing country with a rich heritage and high on moral  values compare to west ?
On one hand we promote India as a shining country and feel proud on economy, armed forces, politicians continuously speaks about safety and security but as we know all their claims of safety are fake otherwise we never suffer a continuous strings of terror attacks naxel attacks.
I don’t blame anyone for these attacks India is a big country so such attacks are sort of NORMAL things and we are now use to about such events.
Sometimes something so strange so devilish so cruel so brutal happens in our country that you just cannot control your anger such thing happen with me today and it make me think is the old saying is true which state the real India lives in villages?



Its just a small news in mid page of a Hindi news, in muraina district a women burn alive on Chita  not only this before burning her she was hanged twice in front of whole village but as she did not died with hanging they took her down beat her with rods and set her on fire still the poor woman didn’t die than the villagers put her on Chita and burn her and whole village witness this act and nobody came for her rescue not even speak a word. The reason behind this that woman fell in love with a Dalit so the Panchayat sentenced her death and invite the whole village to see this act.
I doubt the people of that village are human? And where is our so called young turk the future of india who love to use villages as food joints or where was the human rights commission. The human rights are there for terrorist and other criminals but in this case they are nowhere to see. We are going to celebrate the festival of light in just two days and is this, the way to celebrate festival of light?
Beside the incident itself the other thing disturb me was how can this be possible not a single person have courage to save her or rise a voice of protest. As the newspaper say before this act they announce the decision in panchayat and decide the date of punishment but no one went and complain to the police. If anyone complain about it in time may be the woman saved or at least the main culprit behind such act caught but nothing like that happened.
I don’t know what honour they feel in honour killing?
And another bad thing we never discuses such incidents we just follow the cool and big things but never take an initiative against such things we paint Facebook and other social networking sites with our post about Anna movement not because we now about what the Janlokpal is but everybody else doing it and we too want to prove we are responsible citizen of India. But we normally ignore the incidents of child abuse, rape and honour killings and believe me its not corruption which make us a developing country its such acts of inhumanity which take us back to the era where there is no law and order and our reaction towards such incidents make us a literate who can read,who can write but who cannot react.

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
