A few days back, a 4 year old girl was killed by her father for not covering her head. While having food, the little girls dupatta slipped off her head and she did not realise it, wherefore her father (should he be called a father ? ) repeatedly threw her on the ground and killed her.
Now this is the kind of news item which should draw condemnation and coverage - because religious fanaticism and regressive religious strictures have led to the violent death of poor child, that too at the hands of her own father.
But guess what - our secular media is so busy covering the dadri incident that this was just mentioned in a brief article, just once, and it has been completely forgotten ever since.
Look at the number of things wrong here - a man brain washed enough to kill his own 4 year old child (which indicates he could be a potential terrorist), a regressive religion which refuses to evolve with the times and denies women basic rights, the lack of coverage by the mainstream media, the failure of religious leaders/ ordinary people/ UP government to condemn the incident, the lack of outrage from our intelligentsia and even ordinary hindus etc etc etc.
Is it then any wonder why a large section of our population is prey to the votebank politics practised by the congress for decades?
