Stop

A man kills and buries his one month old child. A one month old baby who had just entered the world is dead because her father didnt want her. Her fault? She's a girl.

A girl tells me her father hit her. Just because he thought she's lying to him about some measly amount of money. He just hits her and hits her. She doesnt do anything. She's 22 and comes from a well off family. And she wasn't lying.

2 such incidents in one day left me thinking..

What kind of people are these? What kind of thinking do they have? Why do they do this..
Y do people let them do this. The more someone gets pushed the more people push you. Things like domestic violence, marital violence, y do women tolerate it? y r we indians such tolerant people by nature? Y don't we protest? Y don't women protest against husbands who beat them in the security of their own homes? Y do they let it happen? Fear, dependence? Surely, there must be some way out. Be financially independent. Find out a person in ur family who will listen to you and help u. But don't just accept it. Don't just let it happen. The more u accept, the more u'll get..

Don't know hoe many more of such things keep happening all over, all the time.. will they ever stop?
