Ghar Ki Murgi Dal Barabar

The Scarlette Keeling case has been in news almost daily with a new development cropping up each day. It does make interesting reading, but at the same time you wonder how could a mother of a 15 yr old leave her child without supervision in the drug zone of a country she’s visiting. So we pitied the girl and her watery grave. But as the drama unfolds, we get to know that Scarlette was a junkie and before her murder she had allegedly doped. I’m all for the murder/rapist being punished. But the mother blaming everyone else but herself using Indian media to criticize Indian politicians of having a hand in drug deals is taking things to far. Why? Well the lady herself is a drug peddler for one, and she did leave her daughter in an area where crime and drugs are common, and the woman did know the risk but then she wasn’t concerned. Now that her daughter is dead she has these motherly emotions welling in her and is screeching for justice on all news channels. As always she’s getting all the needed attention and the media has its jackpot of the month.

I definitely dislike firangs; I also definitely hate the way people just bow before them and are ready to be at their beck and call. The New Year eve incident where two firangi ladies were abused came into the limelight and timely action was taken. Same time elsewhere two desi women were also abused not by one man but a MOB! The police just pushed the case away as a normal occurrence at new years. Well that’s justice for you! What infuriates me further is a particular case in Kerala where a man was belted by the police for eve teasing a firangi teenager. Now if a desi girl had complained of the same, the cop would have told her to ignore it and move on with her life, and that’s exactly what happened to a girl she moved on by setting herself ablaze….

Why does this happen? Why do people tolerate it? Has “Ghar ki murgi dal barabar”, become a way of life?
