The Modern World
“16-year-old Turkish girl buried alive for talking to boys.” And it was done by her family members after some “family council meeting”. : http://www.thehindu.com/2010/02/06/stories/2010020657381800.htm
I read this news yesterday and thought if this is one of those common news which comes to us by daily newspapers and tv channels. Is it just a news? Does not this news remind us of the fact that in this world in 21st century, when we boast of being ‘modern’, when we boast of marching forward leaving the darkness of yesterday, there are people for whom this is just a bloody ‘news’?
Few days back, while I saw a big crowd in front of the police station in my village. I, out of curiosity, asked one of the people what the crowd was all about and I came to know that it was a marriage. Didn’t get it? ok… if you didn’t get it, it is all about ‘casteism’.
Things like these are happening all around us. It is perhaps time to realise where we are… to realise what we are… to think before acting… and to act before it is too late. It is time we construct new rules that suits all genders and all casts.. all creed and all religion. And for that we must realise that we are human beings and we must treat others as we desire to be treated.
nice collections by this genius…
