them have been discussing one side of the coin. While everybody has been
talking about the killings they ordered, nobody has really tried to go into the
origin and concept of the Khaps.The existence and origin of khaps are guarded
by very old traditions. But the real and powerful times began during the english
rule. Since solving all problems and cases that came up in daily life put huge
burden on the judiciary, so the english-men encouraged the khaps which used to
solve the local problem with swift action and without any major dissent from
the dissident parties.
Even today, there are lots of local dissents and cases which are solved at the
level of khaps and don't add on to the existing files in our slow moving courts.
Such an arrangement is good as it solves a plethora of household problems
while satisfying all involved parties and putting an end to the dispute.
Despite whatever good job they might be doing or support they must be
enjoying, nobody gives them right to take lives of people who have done
nothing wrong under the law of the land.
This is also against the right to equality as women4 are killed and discriminated.
This also create discrimination on the basis of caste that you cant marry in any
other caste or lower caste. This also infringe the Right to privacy and Right
freedom of speech and expression.
If it is affecting the number of funadamental rights so it should be given the
name of fundamental wrong.
honor killings are a curse in the modern society .We should shun our orthodox
concepts .5
No culture has the right to kill and harm women based on their perceptions of
morality or honour. The freedom of belief does not mean freedom to kill.
Honour killings are a brutal
together, ensures its dignity and stability. Ideally, the argument goes that we
should keep honour and eliminate the killings made in its name.
It is very important that we put a stop to such dictatorship and
inhuman and uncivilized orders and treatments meted out to
people. Everything which is good has to know its limits and the
khaps need to realize that they are nt beyond the law of land.
All such cases should be properly investigated and the guilty be punished to set
an example for others who dare think of such atrocities. We can not stick to the
same old traditions and customs which used to prevail.
But according to me to a certain extent honour killing is good.Because honour
and respect are being things and once lost cant be gained again.Honour killing
is a lesson to certain characterless and sameless girls and boys who are the bad
elements of the society.Where it is a custom it helps to bring unity and stability
between the communities bringing everyone on same platform. Parents are
whole and sole responsible for their wards so going against them is also not
good,specially when it comes to important thngs like marriage or love. If it
comes to take vote there also we see that some people who are against the
honour killing became the supporter when we talk about intercaste marriage.
But sometimes killings are done not because of honour but due
to their private interests, revenges,rivalaries and giving it the
name of honour killing.But i will say that if there is any part of
body get poisoned then it should be cut and removed
immediately before t get spread and destroy the whole body.
