village of Hisar District has banned mobile phones for youngsters and ordered
girls not to wear jeans and T-shirts. Organizing a DJ party is out of bounds
and a complete prohibition on liquor has also been issued. <br />
<br />
The decision was taken by the Panchayat at Khedar villageof Hisar District.
Sarpanch Shamsher Singh said, "We have decided to ban alcohol as it is the
main reason behind rapes. We have also banned jeans and T-shirts for girl
students as it is not a proper dress." <br />
<br />
Shanti Devi, a middle-aged woman present at the Panchayat said, "The
decision of the Panchayat is good and will check the harassment of girls. Poor
dressing is the main reason behind rapes". The Panchayat formed an
11-member committee to ensure that the decision is implemented. "We
welcome the decision of the Panchayat and anyone organizing a DJ party in the
village will be fined Rs 11,000. Our main purpose is to close the alcohol shops
in the village as liquor is the main reason behind attacks on women," said
Panch Mr. Mahaveer Singh, a resident of the village. <br />
<br />
Youngsters have opposed the diktat. "The decisions will prove to be
counter-productive. The mobiles can be useful in alerting parents or the police
in case of assaults," said Mr. Ram Kishan, a young man from the village.
Another man, who termed the khap diktat outlandish, irrelevant and
objectionable, said on anonymity: "These people are vindictive. If we
question their decision they will ban us from the village."</span><br />

months after a young couple appeared on Aamir Khan's television show, Satyamev
Jayate, and talked about the threat to their lives because they had married
without their parents' consent, the man was shot dead near his village in
western Uttar Pradesh on Thursday evening, allegedly by his wife's brothers.<br />
<br />
Abdul Hakim, 28, and his 26-year-old wife Mehwish, both Muslims hailing from
families with different social standing, had been living under the protection
of an NGO in Delhi since May last year. About 15 days ago, Hakim and his wife,
who is nine months pregnant, went to meet his ailing mother near Adoli village
in Bulandshahr district. He was shot there, while on his way home from the
local police station.<br />
<br />
The couple, who were neighbours at Adoli, ran away together two years ago after
marrying secretly in June 2009. According to Mehwish, her family was opposed to
the match because Hakim was poor and belonged to the 'lower' Fakir community.
Hakim's father was earlier allegedly killed by Mehwish's family in the village,
although it was shown as suicide in police records.<br />
<br />
"They would not let us live in peace and now they have taken their
revenge," she said on Monday.<br />
<br />
"The couple was scared even before coming to the show," Aamir Khan
told reporters in Jaipur. "We didn't force anyone to come to the show. The
incident is highly unfortunate and shameful."<br />
<br />
UP
police, meanwhile, have spun an elaborate theory saying the killing was an act
of "personal enmity" going back to the time when the couple was in
Delhi. But Mehwish and her Delhi-based shelter-providers, Love Commandos, said
it was a clear case of murder involving her brothers.<br />
<br />
Bulandshahr circle officer Lal S Yadav said Hakim was a victim of a family feud
that had its roots in Delhi. "The girl's family had come to accept the
marriage. Nothing indicates this murder is linked to the couple's
marriage," he claimed.<br />
<br />
Yadav added that Hakim's nephew, Salman, had entered into a brawl on June 6 and
the alleged killers wanted him to take back the police case lodged against
them. "Hakim's death was a result of this feud," said Yadav.<br />
<br />
The couple, after a 12-year courtship, had secretly married on June 5, 2009.
They kept living with their respective parents till Mehwish's family fixed her
marriage for November 11, 2010. The couple then eloped on October 29. Till
then, exchanging letters across a brick wall was the only source of
communication between the two.<br />
<br />
Mehwish's family then announced a bounty on the couple's capture. In May 2011,
the pair started living in a shelter in Delhi provided by Love Commandos, an
organization that works to eradicate 'honour killings'. This was the first time
they had returned to their village, where Hakim also had a police case lodged
against him of kidnapping Mehwish.<br />
<br />
The nation became aware of the couple's struggles when they were featured in
Aamir Khan's Satyamev
Jayate on June 3.<br />
<br />
"On June 30, the National Commission for Women ordered UP police to
protect the two. But this directive was ignored. They asked Hakim to come down
to Bulandshahr to record his statement. When he refused, they never contacted
him again," Sanjoy Sachdev, chairman of Love Commando, said. The area SSP,
however, offered to review his security.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, a girl was born to the couple bringing fresh hope that relations
between the two families would normalize. But that was not to be.<br />
<br />
"I didn't know people of my own village had arranged for weapons to kill
us. I am the next target," a shocked Mehwish said.<br />
<br />
Hakim's family had moved to Bhargardi village, 2km away from Adoli. But his
father, Abdul Hafiz, refused to leave his ancestral house and stayed back. On
July 6, 2011 Hakim's nephew Salman visited an ailing Hafiz to know about his
well-being and on his way home, he was allegedly assaulted by Mehwish's
relatives. When Salman reported the matter to the police, a non-cognizable
report was lodged.<br />
<br />
Enraged over the police case, the accused allegedly reached the house of an
ailing Abul Hafiz, hanged him upside from a tree right outside his house and
assaulted him in full public view. When Abdul Hafiz's wife Shahooran, who had come
to stay with her ailing husband, intervened, she too was assaulted. Hafiz died
hanging from the tree. The police, however, saw the incident as suicide.<br />
<br />
The couple was on the run when Mehwish gave birth to a baby girl who was now a
year-and-a-half. In August 2012, when Mehwish got pregnant for the second time,
she reached Bhargardi village to stay with Hakim's family for the delivery.
Hakim used to visit her once or twice a week. On November 20, Hakim visited
Mehwish when he was informed that people were on the lookout for him.<br />
<br />
Hakim lodged a complaint with the local police the same day but no action
followed. On Noveber 22, he was walking back after buying medicines for his
wife when he was intercepted by three persons who shot him dead in public view around
4.30pm.<br />
<br />
Actor Aamir Khan said he is aware of the incident and would speak to the
authorities to ensure the safety of the rest of the family. He described the
murder as "disturbing and unfortunate". "I will speak to
government authorities in UP to help and ensure the family is safe. The
culprits must be brought to book. The case must be registered on basis of
facts," the actor said.<br />

<br />
The frequency with which 'honour' killings are taking place in various parts of
the country, particularly in the north, is a testament to the inability of the
state to act decisively in this matter. It is difficult to escape the
conclusion that at least some of this inability is rooted in an unwillingness
to act. This could either be because the values reflected by these killings are
shared by those supposed to enforce the law or because it is considered
politically costly to take them on. This must change. Our elected
representatives and civil servants are sworn to uphold the values enshrined in
the constitution and they must do so. If perpetrators of this kind of medieval
'justice' are swiftly brought to justice, others who share their mindsets might
think twice before acting on their impulses.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">BANGALORE, KARNATAKA, INDIA: A bench
headed by Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen of the Karnataka high court on Tuesday
compared the Army to a khap panchayat for blocking a young officer's bid to
marry a 29-year-old Sri Lankan woman he's in love with. <br />
<br />
Major Vikas Kumar's (Indian Army) dreams of marrying the Bangalore-based
29-year old Sri Lankan student hit a roadblock with the Army ordering an
investigation into "the purpose behind him coming in contact with a
foreign national". In response to his plea to quit since service rules bar
officers from marrying foreigners, his commanders refused to relieve him,
citing a severe staff crunch. The signals corps officer then went to court. <br />
<br />
A division bench presided over by Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen Tuesday reserved
judgment on an appeal filed by the Union government challenging an order of a
single judge bench which had ruled in Maj. Kumar's favor. <br />
<br />
Displeased with the arguments of the government counsel, Justice Vikramajit Sen
observed: "This is not a khap panchayat, this is the Army." He also
said, "We can't understand the Army's stand at all. This is most unfortunate
for the man. One of India's Presidents, also the commander-in-chief of the
armed forces, was married to a foreigner." (A reference to K R Narayanan
who was married to Ma Tint Tint of Myanmarese origin). <br />
<br />
Maj Kumar won round one of the legal battle this June. A single judge of the
high court ruled in his favour saying, "The Army can't refuse his request
for release from the services since he wants to marry a foreign national."
The Union government challenged the order in the division bench. <br />
<br />
The government counsel argued, "We have ordered an investigation to find
out under what circumstances and for what purpose he has come in contact with a
foreign national. Also, his regiment is severely short-staffed, so we cannot
relieve him." <br />
<br />
Maj. Kumar's advocate told the court he filed his second petition after the
single judge's order had been pending with the Army for about four months.
"As per the rules, you were expected to decide the application within 120
days either saying Yes or No. Such an inquiry ordered by you is an unknown
law," said Justice Sen.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">ROHTAK, HARYANA, INDIA: The khap
panchayats of Haryana on Sunday demanded a legal ban on same-gotra and
same-village marriages, saying such a measure could solve the problem of rising
crime against women. <br />
<br />
Leaders of 30 khap panchayats who met in Rohtak passed a resolution calling for
an amendment in the Hindu Marriage Act to bring the ban on such marriages into
effect. <br />
<br />
The leaders vowed to take up this demand at the highest level and said they
would visit Delhi next month for submitting their representations to the
President, Prime Minister and the Union law minister. <br />
<br />
The meeting, held at the Chhotu Ram Dharamshala, was hosted by Rohtak's Chorasi
khap and presided over by its leader, Mr. Hardeep Ahlawat. <br />
<br />
Terming modern culture as "obscene", the leaders said the state's
social fabric had been vitiated because people were "blindly following
so-called modernization which is the root cause of crime against women and
incidents of rape". <br />
<br />
"The minds of the younger generation have been corrupted due to invasion
of obscene and vulgar culture. Our youngsters have forgotten the rich values
and customs of our society," said Mr. Baljit Malik of Gathwala khap in
Haryana. <br />
<br />
Addressing the meeting, Hardeep Ahlawat demanded a change in the law to ban
matrimonial ties between couples from same gotras and same villages —
traditionally viewed as brothers and sisters. <br />
<br />
"A legal ban on such marriages would also help curb the menace of honour
killings and female feticide which has brought a bad name to Haryanvi
society," said Om Prakash Dhankar, a khap leader. <br />
<br />
Other leaders argued that there would not be any honour killings or female
foeticide if same-gotra marriages were banned. "People kill their
daughters out of the fear that one day they might elope with men of the same
gotra," said Dhankar. <br />
<br />
"A delegation of khap panchayat would visit Delhi on November 5 with
copies of our memorandum to be handed over to India's top leaders. We would
also call on the national commission for women the same day and asked it to
raise the demand," he added. <br />
<br />
The khap leaders distanced themselves from a recent statement of a khap
mahapanchayat spokesman who had sought lowering of the marriageable age of
girls from 18 to 16 years to avoid rapes. The leaders said such statements had
been spoiling the image of khap panchayats. <br />
<br />
"We strongly differ with such people. We have decided to launch social
awareness campaign against extravagant marriages, dowry etc in society,"
he said. <br />
<br />
The khap panchayats have also urged the Haryana government to ban wedding
ceremonies at night which they said lead to road accidents. Khap leaders said
most people get drunk while attending marriages at night and then drive,
resulting in road accidents. </span></div>

are also opposing to dowry system and female feticide but it is not being

dress and following traditions of the community he belongs. Similarly, he
should have no objection if people of other communities want to follow their
own tradition and personal code. The decision taken by the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Panchayat in Asra Village</b> was an `advisory' and not a
`diktat'," said <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Yashpal Malik</b>.
"The advisory also included restriction on boys from taking photograph of
girls on mobile phone to check its misuse. Similarly, it restricted both men
and women from using ear phones while walking or driving because it can lead to
accident. Girls were asked not to visit a mela following complaints of
eve-teasing. Boy found involved in eve-teasing were punished," <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Malik</b> added.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

said "Girls and women were asked to cover head as per the tradition.
Restriction of love marriage has been after boys and girls of 15-16 years age
eloped. This is the age for education and not marriage. It was clearly stated
in the instructions that those who don't want to follow can go elsewhere, hence
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Panchayat</b> did not impose anything on
people. In India, one finds variety of customs and traditions. In south, a girl
can be married to maternal uncle but here a boy and girl of a village are
considered to be siblings because for us entire village is a family."
Pointing out towards the proposed law of the central government on banning <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Khap Panchayats</b>, he warned that such a
move will force <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">JATS</b> to launch a
massive agitation.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

Similarly, he should have no objection if people of other communities want to

`advisory' and not a `diktat'," said <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Yashpal
Malik</b>. "The advisory also included restriction on boys from taking
photograph of girls on mobile phone to check its misuse. Similarly, it
restricted both men and women from using ear phones while walking or driving
because it can lead to accident. Girls were asked not to visit a mela following
complaints of eve-teasing. Boy found involved in eve-teasing were
punished," <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Malik</b> added.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Malik</b> said "Girls and women
were asked to cover head as per the tradition. Restriction of love marriage has
been after boys and girls of 15-16 years age eloped. This is the age for
education and not marriage. It was clearly stated in the instructions that
those who don't want to follow can go elsewhere, hence <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Panchayat</b> did not impose anything on people. In India, one finds
variety of customs and traditions. In south, a girl can be married to maternal
uncle but here a boy and girl of a village are considered to be siblings
because for us entire village is a family." Pointing out towards the
proposed law of the central government on banning <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Khap Panchayats</b>, he warned that such a move will force <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">JATS</b> to launch a massive agitation.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">MUZAFFARNAGAR,
LUCKNOW, INDIA: Panchayats of western UP are known for issuing bizarre and at
times unconstitutional diktats. Now a Panchayat in Muzaffarnagar has come up
with yet another one. A community Panchayat of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Nirana village has issued an order
banning migrant Muslim families from burying their deceased relatives at the
public graveyard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt;">

<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 15pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">According
to reports, the Nirana village Panchayat, after a meeting decided that<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>burial of only those who have lived in
the village for more than 30 years will be allowed in the graveyard. Shortage
of space in the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>graveyard<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>due to a growing number of migrants in
the village was cited as the main reason for the directive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 15pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 15pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">In
most cases, the government machinery does not act against Panchayats issuing
such harsh diktats but fortunately in this case, the district administration of
Muzaffarnagar reacted. Officials of the district administration said that Panchayat's
decision will not be followed and action will be taken against those found
guilty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 15pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">According
to the officials who visited the village, Nirana has a huge graveyard which was
recently divided into three parts by the villagers for burial as per their
castes. However, the number of people settled in the village registered a sharp
increase over the last few years thereby finding burial space at the graveyard
a difficult task.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 15pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Muslim
clerics, however, have criticized the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>diktat.
UP Imam Organization President Mr. Mufti Zulfikar Ali, while talking to media
persons, said that the order of the village Panchayat was against the law and
the tenets of Islam. He said that every Muslim has the right to bury the
deceased of his family at the public graveyard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a Panchayat in village Asra of Baghpat had banned love marriages and barred
women from carrying mobile phones and venturing out of the house without a male
escort. Those who disagreed were told to leave the village. Many politicians
across all parties have supported the Panchayat.</span><span style="color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

of mobiles by young boys and girls has led to a sharp increase in instances of
eve-teasing and elopement in the region. "This unrestricted communication
is the main cause of such objectionable union of the naive minds who take steps
which brings ridicule and embarrassment to their parents and their
communities," said a panchayat member refusing to identify himself on
grounds that the media was raking up the issue unnecessarily. "The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Village panchayat</b> has decided not

40 venturing out to the weekly markets with no male or elderly family member
accompanying them, another panchayat member said: "You people are twisting
the turning the things at your convenience. Our belief is that if you want to
go out for some genuine reason then what is the harm in being accompanied by an
elderly, be it your parents or any other family member?" he questioned.</span></div>

from women activists across the state and beyond. "This is ridiculous. Why
are the restrictions on women only? Why the village panchayat doesn’t stops men

atmosphere will be equally secure for women at the market" says <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Shaista Amber</b>, president and founder of

ROHTAK, HARYANA, INDIA: Leaders of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">khap
panchayats</b> in Haryana have stalled a move to invite Bollywood actor <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aamir Khan</b> to the gathering of all
panchayats on the issue of female feticide in Bibipur village of Jind district
on July 14. The Nogama khap panchayat, which is hosting the first of its kind
mahapanchayat, had decided to send invitation to Aamir Khan and his wife <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kiran Rao</b>. However, it decided against
it on Tuesday, following pressure from powerful leaders of other khaps, who are
angry with the actor for portraying them "in poor light" over the
issue of honour killings in one of the episode's of his television show <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">'Satyamev Jayate'</b>.<br />
"He (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aamir</b>) has tried to
lower the dignity of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">khap panchayats</b>
in his show by associating honour killing with khap panchayats. We even sought
to distance ourselves from the occurrence of ghastly killings which are mostly
perpetrated by the kin (of woman who bears a female child), but he continued in
same vein. This has irked all khap panchayats and we have decided not to share
any stage with him on any issue," said Kuldeep Singh Dhanda of Barah khap.<br />
Kuldeep said the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">khap leaders</b> had
expressed their objections against inviting the actor to the mahapanchayat
organizers.<br />
The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mahapanchaya</b>t will be
organised in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bibipur village</b>, which
had recently hosted the first meeting of all-woman gram sabha on female
foeticide issue. The Union panchayat raj ministry had appreciated the village's
initiative on the issue to curtail the widening sex ratio in Haryana.<br />
The young sarpanch of Bibipur,<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mr. Sunil
Jaglan</b>, who had played a crucial role in awakening the women of his village
to take up the social cause, maintained that he had requested the Nogama khap
panchayat to invite Aamir as he too had highlighted this problem through his TV
show. The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">khap panchayats</b> have
appreciated Aamir's attempt to save the girl child by speaking put against
female foeticide.<br />

taken after intervention of chief minister Akhilesh Yadav. The latter
intervened following public outrage and widespread criticism. The<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>National Commission for Women<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>had also written to the chief minister
to suspend the two officers. Though the UP police administration had ordered an
inquiry against Saharanpur DIG on Wednesday but no action was taken. In fact,
senior police officers defended the DIG saying that he was quoted out of
context. However, on Thursday morning,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Akhilesh

action against the DIG. ""It's a serious matter. If what has been
shown on TV channels is correct, action will take place. Law and order is a
challenge in UP, but we have called a meeting of officers on law and order on
the May 18"". The promise of action against the top ranking police

Satish was on Tuesday caught on camera snubbing one Mr. Shaukeen Mohammad, who
had come to seek help for recovery of his 14-year daughter kidnapped by some
local musclemen. The DIG told Mohammad, a resident of Kaserwa village of
Prabudhnagar district, to kill his daughter if she has eloped with somebody.
While Mohammad feared that his daughter could be raped and killed by the
abductors, who have a criminal record, the DIG remarked ""I don't
have magical power to recover your daughter. But if she has eloped, you should
be ashamed of it and end your life. I would have committed suicide or killed my
sister if she had eloped."" After the matter was highlighted in the
media, the girl was recovered by the police from Haridwar and handed over to
parents.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Accused Ratan Pal reportedly shot dead his 15-year-old daughter, Nisha, a
student of class X, on Sunday night in their house. The family however said it
was an accidental death as the girl pressed the trigger while holding it. The
body was cremated hurriedly without informing police.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sources said that a villager informed police about the incident after which
Bhiwani SP B Satheesh Balan, along with forensic experts, visited the cremation
ground and collected samples for investigation.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The SP told TOI that a case under section 302 has been registered against
the father, who is absconding. "We have started investigations into the
incident. The motive behind the murder is unclear so far", he said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Police sources however disclosed that the accused, who is an ex-serviceman
and now employed with a foreign embassy in Delhi, had returned home on Sunday.
"Some arguments seemed to have taken place between the girl and father
after which the accused fired at her", they added.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 115%;">Meanwhile, the SP has placed the incharge of Gurgani
police post under suspension on charges of negligence in duty as he failed to
act swiftly after the matter was reported to police by an anonymous caller.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><b>Warangal,Andra Pradesh,India:</b></span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;"> Often News comes that Khap Panchayat is giving orders like Taliban’s way. But it’s not true. In India there are many places where Khap Panchayat does not exist but Village Heads giving orders harder than Khap Panchayt.This type of case occurs in Warangal where a woman in was shunned by village elders over a land dispute. But before sending her away, they put her through the ordeal of lifting an iron pipe soaked in burning oil to prove her innocence.</span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">The shocking incident took place in Pangidipally <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">village</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Chityala</st1:placename></st1:place> mandal in Andra Pradesh, India. CI Sudhakar said on Friday that no case has been filed since no written complaint has been filed till now. "Neighbors or villagers are not willing to give the complaint. What can we do? We are searching for the village heads to conduct counseling so that incidents of this nature do not recur," he said.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">After Sammakka received serious burn injuries on her right hand, the village heads banished her by sending her away to Manchiryala, her mother's place.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">Going into the details, it all started when P Sammakka picked up a fight with her neighbor Sammaiah over the extent of their farm land in the village. Sammaiah later approached the village elders charging Samakka that she had plotted to kill his wife. He also told them that she had threatened him of dire consequences.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">The village heads called both the families of Sammakka and Sammaiah and took Rs 24,000 deposit from Sammakka. They told Sammakka that she would be let off if she passed the hot oil test by dipping her hand. They contended that if she did not commit any wrong, her hand wouldn't get burnt or else.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11pt;"> This was a case like when Lord Rama says Mata Seeta to walk on fire to prove his </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">innocence</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt;">Sammakka came forward to remove the iron pipe from the boiling oil when fingers on her right hand suffered grievous injuries. The elders passed the verdict, saying that she has made a mistake. They humiliated her and then they banished Sammakka and sent her mother’s place.</span></span></div></div>Yogesh Panwarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17411396338746887825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388549266625634275.post-38202399540738383742011-08-05T08:06:00.000-07:002011-08-05T08:06:17.958-07:00SAP: List of SAP using companies both IT and Non-IT - S...<a href="http://sapplus.blogspot.com/2011/08/list-of-sap-using-companies-both-it-and.html?spref=bl">SAP: List of SAP using companies both IT and Non-IT - S...</a>: "LIST OF NON-IT COMPANIES USING SAP IN INDIA - SAP IN INDIA : Mostly all the big companies in India either running on SAP implemente..."Yogesh Panwarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17411396338746887825noreply@blogger.com0
