Justice to Nitish Katara

I congratulate all the members of the community on the day when the court has dispensed justice and held Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav guilty of the murder of Nitish Katara.It's a landmark for a mother (Neelam Katara) who have been fighting ceaselessly to seek justice for her son's brutal murder. Hats off to the mother! Though we know battle has to be continued till the culprits are left with no legal option.Great moment for Kataras, the community and for India and ofcourse the legal system of the country that has started evolving since few years. Indian justice system has still to prove a lot and dispense the justice before it gets late forever. We are hopeful!
HOPE IS A GOOD THING AND GOOD THINGS NEVER DIE...

The great fall...

From Indus Valley civilization to the great Aryans, we are the proud descendants of a 'civilized' society that we think has become less civilized for some time. At least 'our great, great elders' feel that. And I am sure their great seniors might have expressed the same for them...

Well, this is not the point of discussion. The bigger question is: Is it just a fall???

A fall from close-knit families to murderers within them...from a soft expression of love to a wild revelation posing almost deadly for some....from the hardcore competition to adverse kind of professionalism to another breed of 'non-professionals' at work...from creed of castist, communist to another race of inhumans who instigate people to kill each other...from killers around to murderers within...from rapists, assaulters to 'honour killers' and paedophiles...the tale of the very ‘civilization’ continues...

Of course, it's not a happy state of affairs! But bigger than this is the worry of possible reasons behind it. I even don't want to conjecture or pose as the so-called 'reformer'.

I just want to start a point where we all at least start giving it a thought before it gets late and we lose the spirit of existence...
