Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
Does –all that what is written by Amana here–give license to Sonam to murder an innocent,gentleman, who was not at all responsible for her problems in this respect?
Do not give it colour of feminism, coersion. etc. It is simly a case of extreme fiendishness,
For them thinking of murdering someone did not mean anything serious; First they planned to kill any woman resembling Sonam. Then they made FOUR attempts on life of Raja.
Sonam and her accomplices must be condemned unconditionally.
Supporting such persons even harms the feminism cause
Your defence is quite painful & inhuman .
Wrong facts, wrong research. They are both from same caste, only clans are different. They are from different class. Just proved how our media makes news of nonsense.
A bit disappointed with the tone of this article, we are talking about adults here, not kids. If she was forced into a marriage, what was stopping her from talking to the groom and telling him the truth? Or if she truly loved Raj, both of them could have eloped? Or talked it out like adults? Or even make a huge scene in the wedding and stop it?
This is the most ridiculous argument I have heard. Somehow this columnist parries away the blame for murdering her husband (which from all available evidence rests squarely in the shoulders of the bride) to her parents! As if the cold blooded murder is justified by the coercion that the bride supposedly had to go through. Would she have the same opinion of the groom, hypothetically forced into a marriage murdered the girl? Absolute garbage of an opinion.
Dear Saikat, it is not only disappointing, article, it is cruel to humanity.
Sonam and her accomplices first think of murdering any (innocent) woman resembling Sonam, and then passing it as murder of sonam. Then they make FOUR attempts on innocent Raja’s life.
It is extreme case of fiendishnes, and Amana gives it colour of feminism. Such articles even harm the cause of feminism.
Thanks for raising this issue, in fact this seems to be the root cause of this murder. The girl wanted to have free choice, but her wish was suppressed due to family and caste pressure and was forced to marry against her wishes. She should have fought against her family, or better she should have told the groom before marriage. She made the mistake of murdering an innocent person who placed trust in her. The real culprits are her parents and society in general.
