Re: Concept of honor and respect
The statistics of Honour killings carried out by Hindu’s and Sikhs in India is shocking.
And in Punjab and Haryana, one out of every ten murders is an honour killing. In most of the cases where the girl is from an upper caste, the boy is the target of violence, usually by the girl’s family. Often, girls who are murdered for “destroying the honour of the family” are cremated without any legal formalities and the deaths concealed.
