HONOUR KILLING in the name of saving family prestige is on the rise. It is not only a legal crime but also a social crime. Awareness is required now to uproot this belief.
Every life is a flower and has a right to live. The castes and the aristocratic feelings are manmade egos. The caste system was introduced to segregate the society on work basis and has nothing to do with human values. it was meant to organise the society to identify a person. There ends it purpose. It was introduced not to degenerate or degrade a person or a family. It is purely based on the profession.
The leaders of religions, specially the Hindu religion should come forward to break this feeling which has become a stigma. Due to poverty, education did not spread as a result those who had money got educated more and had thrown a barrier and named them as cast. It has not been supported by the basics of human dignity, therefore need not be glorified.
Honour killings are being repeated time and again. Ministries are passing the blame on each other. While it is the duty of the Social Justice and empowerment ministry to highlight the issue and raise public conscience, it is quietly passing the buck to Law ministry to take legal action.
Can not the ministers not take up a war on this issue, raise a debate and create public awareness. Is it not their duty to make people more considerate against this type of social crimes and make people understand that such barbaric acts are crime not only against law, but also to mankind?
