Chill and Kill

I call myself a big news freak and a voracious news reader. Try to reach out whatever source available around me. Morning before leaving I scan through a Bengali newspaper. Only headlines and sports news cannot go through whole newspaper because Bengali newspaper have nothing, not even a spoonful. Apart from a big headline and the sports news limited to Bengal, Saurav Ganguli and rivalry between East Bengal and Mohan Bagan. Bengali newspapers are surviving on gossip columns only. The news looked as if taken from a chapter of a fiction; this is not news journalism. After coming to my work place I go through an English daily and then I surfed the net for the current one every hour. Now these day news bring less joy and more sorrow. All the time you will stumble to a piece either man made disaster or a disaster related to natural calamities. Some of the news are so disturbing even it is not relates to any disaster.

In current situation, terror is a word that we have to live with it. This is a business that run and funded by some maniacs. They are sitting back and plotting it then having fun. The victims are the innocent peoples and may be the hand that carried out job, they are brainwashed by the handler and blindly follows the diktat. The news that really disturbs me is not this terror but the other terror that we come across everyday in daily newspaper.

In India all the claims regarding education and literacy goes to kaput when you have to face the caste and castesim and our new ID card supposed to come with our caste. That was not enough, now Gotra, God, save us from this. How many people in modern India know their Gotra? Even if you know it, is it making any difference to human kind?

In rural India (mainly North India) in the name of caste and gotra peoples are playing holy with real colour that is blood. A journalist staying alone and working with a renowned newspaper decided to marry a deserving person she liked, killed brutally by her own family. A woman working and living in London, when she decided to go her own way she lured by her mother-in-law and husband to their native in Punjab, she never returned. When men from these communities want to choose their own path nobody bothered about Gotra. If a girl brings so much honour to you then why you kill them before they can see the light. More disturbing thing is that women are equally involved in this kind of terror plot. A lawmaker in every house and Government is doing nothing. Gosh, they need a psychiatric. You will find lots of news regarding honour killing but I fear that mostly never come out in open or failed to find a place in a newspaper.

!!!Loads of blood, innocent peoples dieing young in the hand of insane, a cold-blooded murder, so, where is the honour and anyway whose honour it is?!!!
