Honour killing! Really?

It has been months since I had read about the Judgement in Aarushi murder case. Even today, as I sit down to write this blog, I am extremely disturbed and worried.

An investigation based on the theory of ‘Honour killing’; A Judgement based on the theory of ‘Honour killing’, in the year of 2014. I agree that we are a third world country and technology & the facilities offered to (and the processes set up for) various government departments are way inferior compared to that of developed world. That should not necessarily dictate that the quality of thoughts, actions and expressions by these departments to be very inferior and downright unacceptable.

The UP police did kill Honour of a child; The Post-Mortem team did Honour killing; The CBI did Honour killing; The Forensic team did Honour killing; The media, both ‘Print’ and ‘Telecast’ did Honour killing; The Judgement did Honour killing; Above all, the people of this country did the biggest of Honour killing – reading and watching over several years and doing nothing about it;

It is so very convenient for everyone involved, to shamelessly do this, because Aarushi is not alive. It also is extremely convenient because they can sell this theory in India. What is worse, the public wants to read more and flourish on the cheap entertainment about a bad character here, an Honour killing there and swinging couples everywhere.

 By some miraculous divine intervention, if Aarushi were to be alive today, how many of these gentlemen/ladies have the moral courage to go and stand before her and say the things they have said about her openly to the entire nation. Aarushi would apply pepper spray on them because this is an attack on her character. And Aarushi would have every right to question their character.

If an investigative agency and a court of law can convict parents of a child on Honour killing theory and circumstantial evidences, what is the sentence against CBI for killing the Honour of a child (just by wild and shady imagination) with no evidence whatsoever?

By this post, we pray along with million others for the higher courts to restore the Honour of a murdered child. Truth must prevail!
