-BhaiyaSSSSSS.......nahi, nahi....chhod do mujhe.....raham karo" cried she. -"Tumahari himmat kaise hui yeh sab karne ki?"the bro' was shivering with anger. -"jise ghar ki izzat ki parwah nahi ,use jine ka huck nahi.Maar daalo ise" roared the father. -"khataak........" silence persisted in the ambience.The girl's head was shoved off her neck. Next day , the news read: " 18-year girl was murdered by her bro' for the sake of honour of his family." The story behind such incident was that the girl was in love with a boy of lower caste in the village which was not liked by her family and they were of the thought that the "honour"of their family was in danger.To get rid of it,the only solution they could think of was to kill the girl. How could humanity be so cruel ?For the sake of false honour ,families are sacrificing their true happiness.This is just one example......and there are many more. The reason behind it is prevalence of social stigma,rigid social organisation and excess of radicalism. It's not a new issue rather it has been prevailing in the society since years.It takes different hues in different forms of society whether it be a small village in Bihar or a well developed town in the US .The problem lies in default in psychological set-up.The pride for caste and religion is so strong that it loses sense of humanity.It tends to recognize individual not by his attributes but by his religion and caste.Also, there is conflict between RIGIDITY & LIBERALISM.Liberalism provokes individual to do something different from the society and rigidity in the society tries to stabilise social order ,even through forceful means which often leads to disastrous results as HONOUR KILINGS. No govt. ,no administration could stop this social stigma unless the society itself tries to do so.The remedy lies in broadened outlook ,liberal views and developed sense of understanding between generations . I believe ,indeed ,it is a cause of concern and it should be dealt with utmost seriousness.
