The Case of Kawasi Himde : Why should we educate our children about her case?

Kawasi Himde is no celebrity or someone from a cosmopolitan city, she is a tribal woman. A few good media tried to cover her news still. Kudos to the ones who are holding the mic behind the screen to bring her story out. The rest of the NEWS media was busy in covering the IPL and Cinema gossips it seems. They may be right, audiences will show interest to watch a Salman Khan case that will help their TRP, which Kawasi cannot do.

She was acquitted after 7 years of imprisonment when a Dantewada (Chhattisgarh, India) court found her not guilty. Our judiciary system took JUST 7 years to find someone is innocent. At the age of 17, in 2008, Kawasi Himde was arrested for “being involved in the killing of 23 policemen”.

How our judiciary system is going to compensate everything she had lost? There are only loopholes but no law for this!

The real story is horrible even in our dreams. Colours of the Cage A blog covered her story exclusively in an attempt to expose the truth and to get her justice.

In January 2008 just after harvest, as in previous years, a fair was organised in Ramram, the nearby village. Kawasi accompanied her aunt and her other cousin sisters to the fair and to buy ribbons and choodis. There she joined a group of other tribals who were dancing and singing. Having danced vigorously, she soon became thirsty and approached the nearby hand-pump for water. But as soon as she held the pump, someone very forcefully grabbed her. She looked up angrily and was shocked to see Police personnel. They had surrounded her and began dragging her by her hair towards their vehicle parked outside the fair. With hands and feet tied, she was thrown on the floor of the truck and driven to the Police station. (click to continue reading) – Written by Sushmita Verma

Why should we educate our children about her case?

If you are reading this, you could be someone who works in a respectable position responsible for keeping the law, you could be an advocate, you could be a student, you could be an activist, you could be just a common civilian.. Whomsoever you are, as a human being we should have some introspection on ourselves as individuals and as a society.

What are we going behind? What are we supporting? How are we spending our time?

Thousands of cases like this are happening in our country which will not come to our attention. But at the end of the day, it is we all who make the society. Our children are going to become the lawyers, policeman, lawmakers, politicians, etc.

It is our responsibility to educate them the reality. So that they will understand everything and at least try to have some humanity and morality tomorrow. If not our generation at least coming generations may seek to live in the righteous way.

Please share this. Keep educating!

Facebook Page calls Virat Kohli a “Rapist” !

Social media is so powerful, celebrities have huge fan base on facebook. especially Indian Cricketers.

Kohli is one such exceptional talent. But a facebook page calls him a Rapist to explain how dangerous he is with the bat. This is how they admire him ( a sick way )

See Virat Kohli’s strong Zone 

Virat Kohli is not a cricketer..

He is a Rapist

He rapes all the teams whenever he comes to bat

He is a Legend in Making!

Need minimum 5000 Likes for his awesomeness

Even I like Kohli, but this shows the cheap mentality of people to grab some attention by using such cheap way to get reach. Many have complained / commented to remove that post or make appropriate changes, as RAPE is something to define the skills of a batsman, but the admin seems not to bothered. Think he/she imagines that no one can do anything about this. 

On ethical view, it is so cheap to call rape without knowing what it is. This is insult not just to the cricketer, but to the other opponents, humans. The Page admin must ask an apology for this cheap post.

Please complaint against this page or someone take a legal action against such pages who misuse social networking.

Here is that page’s link, report facebook to remove  / ban this page Helicopter Shot.
