Re: HONOUR Killing
desi ostrich: dude its really neat how you are keeping an eye on the painful aspects of society. What you need to consider however is:
- These international charity organization are as good as a sack full of molten horse crap, its all political, there is no such thing as 'international charity' - for some its tax planning, for others its political.
- a good number of these organizations are successfully playing a role in putting the banner of being backward and brutal on Pakistan (aimed at Islam - although Islam and Pakistan is another debate).
- this sort of crap does happen, but it is not very common. Its as good as rape (domestic and otherwise) and murder in all our developed nations esp. US.
- Karokari is an evil tradition, one of the gifts we have inherited from hindu caste discrimination, it happens all over this region, the only difference is that nobody advertises it as we do. We highlight the cases and get 'charity' to help the victims.
Having said that, mistreating a human, be that a man, woman or child, is a brutal and unacceptable act and we all know and believe that. Lets continue to play our role in ensuring that not only we do not committ any such act but we also prevent it from happening as much as we can in our own limited capacity.
Dont put an ear to these do-gooders. And, I know this because I have worked very closely with them.
