Honour Killing: A matter of shame for the nation

Apparently to love someone is a crime these days, thanks to the rising cases of honour killing. We talk about living in the 21st Century. We are the so called, edcated, modren, smart and forward looking people who belong to the new generation. Or is it so?? its sorry to see a jouralist been brutely killed by her family for wanting to marry a perfectly nice and well settled person, just because he wasnt of her community.

Cast divides, were created thousands of years ago, but what hits us in the face is that the divide exists clearly today. Leaders like Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Mahantma Gandhi, and not to forget the first one to start the strugggle agains social evils 'Raja Ram Mohan Roy' would have greeved on the current situation we are witnessing.

A lot of hue and cry is made about the issue, a rule has to be passed etc etc, but where does the buck stop? is it ending there, or should the society also contribute in stopping this menance.Panchayats which are our roots, the base of the rural society should stop this atrocity.

Love is not a crime, its a gift of god given to man, lets all stand together for Love mairrage, let the people choose their life partners, atlest we shall stop complaining about increasing divorce cases, and lets not forget all our princesses and godesses did choose their life partners too, if we can promote a Silly Swayambar on Telecom then why cant we stand for true love in real life???!!!
