Mulgaon Village, Maharashtra
This is not the first time for such a shameless and immoral incident to happen in our country. In the name of religion, caste and other insane things that divide humanity, for the past many decades, we have been becoming the reasons for such unprincipled acts.
If we turn back the pages of our history, we can find many instances that support the above statement. A married couple burnt to death by their own kith and kin in the name of 'honour' killing, for the mere reason that they belonged to two different communities; a woman paraded naked in the public with her eyes gouged out for the fact that she had refused to accept the religious differences in a village; a man beaten to death by the mob and a police officer himself, just because he had stolen food out of starvation and hunger.
And recently, we had successfully and immodestly added one more occurrence to the list. 'A 42 year old Dalit woman, beaten, stripped and paraded by five people belonging to an upper caste community just for the sole reason that her son had eloped with their girl. And when the miserable lady had approached the police, all she gets is a lame comment that such incidents are common in the area.'
Sometimes we got to question ourselves, if animals are better than us; for they kill either for food or self defense, and neither in the name of religion, nor in the name of caste divisions.
