A.P and Telangana - Honour Killing

Spark to this content

                                          Today, when I was reading my newspaper, I saw the news of honour killing at Chitoor, which shook me for a minute.  I reminded me of the recent honour killings of Pranay, at telengana state and Chandrika's murder at Vijayawada.  All the murders shared a same perspective, same injustice but different homicides.

Pranay's death

                            At Telengana, around a year back,a christian boy named Pranay was killed in front of a hospital.  He was killed, since he belonged to a lower caste christian family and married a upper caste hindu girl named Amrutha.  For this marriage, both the families had showed their opposition, but later Pranay's family accepted it, but not Amrutha's family.  So, at one night,when Pranay, Amrutha and Pranay's mother were in hospital for pregnancy checkup of Amrutha, an assassin entered and killed Pranay.  Later, it was discovered that, it was the work of Amrutha's father.

Chandrika's death

                              At Vijayawada, around a year back, a girl named Chandrika was killed by her own father. She was studying final year B.pharm and expressed her wishes of marrying her lover, a boy from different cast, for which their parents showed opposition.  Then, next day, she was talking to her lover, over through phone, which was over heard by her father, thinking that they might have planned to elope.  In a fit of rage, her fahter hit her head with a hammer and killed her.

Hemavathi's death

                              Hemavathi, a daughter of Baskar Naidu, a farmer, loved and elope with a boy named Kesavulu, a youth from Scheduled Caste.  They eloped 2 years before, and Kesavulu had spoke with his family, and his family had promised to convince Baskar Naidu.  She gave birth to a baby boy, and on her way back from discharge, she was beaten and taken by some men in two wheeler and then killed her.  Kesavulu, after sustaining few injuries, escaped to the village, along with his infant child and informed to his family.  His family and relatives, filed a police complaint on Baskar Naidu.

Concept in these three murders

                       In these three murders, the main villain is the Caste difference and ego among the families.  A bad example has been set here for the youth, where the own members of A.P. and Telangana social media are praising these as a courageous feat.

Caste System and Politics

                              In our olden days, the caste system was introduced to split the people according to their profession and it was healthy, until it became a inferior complex among the people and country, and also due to the misuse of caste system in the election by the representatives. Some famous revolutionists, like Kamarajar, Bharathiyar etc.., fighting against caste system, the caste politics was immensely reduced and abolished in many states.  But still at A.P and Telangana, the Caste discrimination and caste politics had became a big nightmare and it is just ruling whole A.P and Telangana.  The impose of caste system among the state, has became a major cause for all honour killings. The way to eradicate Caste system is to just start changing from us by imposing good deeds instead of caste minded thoughts among youths and kids.  If we need a change, We needed to change first.  Hence comment your opinion to reduce and eradicate Honour killings at A.P and Telangana
