Communal Lens to a Crime of Passion: SHRADDHA WALKER

COMMUNAL LENS TO CRIME OF PASSION: SHRADDHA WALKER

The Shraddha Walker Murder a case of Domestic Violence is scrutinised under communal lens. Old Phrases like "LOVE-JIHAD", "Muslims are Butchers" get repeated for wayward reactions, mostly Social media. That the suspect Aaftab Amin was a one time meat carver multipys this stereotype. Actvists are dressed up with Phamphlets vying for TV Time. Is even one spokesperson for Women at large willing to Financially support the kin of the slain girl. Such speech blares into Ether, dissipating like vapours and tickling the Twitterati for a week approx. They even have ready stats that more than 3 Lakh Women befriend Boys from another Religion yearly, leading to blood inside home. So much so that Administrations have caled for a pre-marriage certification to let a couple wed. Its easy to define a Muslim and not so much a Dalit. Dalit and poor are a wide section so it does not gather much much rage online. Last week's Supreme Court acquittal already is on back burner and ongoing rape of Dalit Girls a 2nd Priority in Social actors, because it gets into Hairs of State Administrations they can ill afford or posses werewithwals to spar. Speaking against Muslims has a surcharged audience bored and unemployed in a fledleging economy.      

   30 Percent Policing rest for VIP: 

Delhi where the crime was commited deploys only 30 Percent of its force for General Policing- rest are busy with VIP SECURITY. Out of a staff of 83,762 Pesonnel only 1 cop is for 364  Delihites rest secure the Politicians and Senior Bureaucrats. Likewise is focus of Reserve Forces who cater to the Power Cadre than care for General Public who pays taxes and their Salary. Are Actvists willing to raise the question, perhaps not because it places them opposite the Ruling class. Thus the Caste and Creed card is comforting and finds many backers in a Nation finding Revenge on Muslim - Hindu fracas that took place centuries back. When Shradda Walker's Parents searched for the Girl thats when the Police learn of the murder, or else for months the Body parts were strewn across the city with no Security Guard, Local Informers or Beat Constables suspecting. Local Gangs and other henious activity will stay unchecked with sluggish Community vigil and Law and Order Maintenance.

   Caste, Creed and Religion:

Is a Discourse of the wasted, who in armchairs comment on Love Lives of others and Caste Walls that divide. A communal unrest will flare when a Geographical, Family or Land issues clash. A Hindu of Uttar Pradesh may not have ill will against a Muslim in Hyderabad, but when Land ownerships and Family Honour are pinched within neighbourhoods the Religious card is used to gather Support. Its a Canvassing medium and platform for revenge. Caste is so embedded in India that Brahmins will diswon their Sons and Daughters if they elope or marry outside caste. Kids of Brahmins families who marry outside caste will be banished from Family wills and Inheritances. Its a rule in General with no exception. 

   Finding Answers in a Bowl of Poverty:

In a bottomed out economy, poverty of morals and character will reign. Crime has no Caste no creed nor is new, it will thrive as long as humanity. Fear of law and Justice is a deterrant, which is absent in Modern India. Wriggling out of the Law process is a matter of years or quicker if one is well heeled. In times when Secular is called "SICK-U-LAR" a crime will be viewed in Communal Lens.
