"Khap Panchayats" raising in Andhra Pradesh too, ordering the '(Dis)Honour Killings'

Brickbats, Bouquets & Backfeeds are welcome on prmadhura@yahoo.com

According to Today's news item of 'The Hindu' (of which I couldn't locate the web-link), a Mother along with  her brothers kidnapped her Daughter, from her in-laws home, in broad day light, after threatening her son-in-law, took her to Balanagar, beat her with boulders and burn alive, in Mahabubnagar district - under the pressure of her community elders - in Kakanoor Village of Keshmpet Mandal  of Mahabubnagar District.

Her crime: having born into a backward community and marrying a Dalith Youth, Mr. Lingam, M.A. from Nizam College, a 24-year-old.

The fact that they were married by the Shadnagar Police on November 24, 2010 hasn't helped them to have peaceful married life.  The same police are now investigating.

What a  retrograde age are we living in ?
