Animals are barbaric and humans are civilized.
Animals fight, harm and kill their own clan –
humans only help others !! We call our
race very civilized - a term which means
that we have advanced from our primitive age, have learnt to cope up with
pressures, not succumbing to emotions, treat others with respect, care and
concern. We are attuned to living in
Society where every other person is shown care and we share our resources for
the common benefit of all !! we have
made great strides in agriculture, Science, technology, medicine, long distance
trade, self-governance and more.
We know how to be relaxed and enjoy ourselves [whether it
is Office or at home !] On 27th May
2012, a Sunday, the crowds were thinner as the city was getting painted in yellow,
supporting Chennai Super Kings in the battle against Kolkatta Knight Riders –
the fans eventually were disappointed at the loss but the game was enjoyed by
many who filled the stadium. The
euphoria had began hours before the first ball was bowled. People were prepared to buy tickets at
exorbitant rates though they kept saying that tickets were available….. pedlars, hawkers, food stalls and wine shops
around the stadium did roaring business
And today morning [28th May 2012] one only expected to read more trivia on the newspaper
of the IPL finals, the plays, the statistics, the men, trivia and
more……………. Sometimes, reading newspaper
makes one sad…………….. here is example of
gory things that were on print [the example cited here is Times of India, Chennai
Edition – but for certain any other
paper would not have been much different]
Man killed for objecting to drinking in public : in
the suburb of Madipakkai, reportedly, a 52-year-old man was murdered on
Saturday night after he objected to two men consuming liquor in front of his
house in Madipakkam. is son who came to his rescue was injured in the attack.
ive people were arrested in connection with the murder. The man, Jayaraman noticed two young men
consuming liquor in the middle of the road in front of his house. The
two did not make way for the vehicle.
Jayaraman scolded them for drinking in public – the duo duo entered into
an argument with Jayaraman and left the place after warning him of dire
consequences. They found out his mobile
number and kept making threat calls from different numbers, said an
investigating officer. Later they came
with more friends, called Jayaraman to come out of his house, assaulted him
with knives and stones. Jayaraman died
on the spot and Vinoth Kumar,who tried to intervene,sustained injuries.Velu and
his friends fled the scene.They were arrested on Sunday morning.
Elsewhere in Sembium, a
37-year-old parttime actor,B Kumar, was stabbed to death by a 3 member
gang. The deceased had acted as a
villain in a couple of Tamil movies,was drunk at the time. The report states that a friend of the actor
who was a money-lender used him to threaten people when loans were not properly
repaid. In one such confrontation, there
was a melee, the person who had taken loan stabbed Kumar and fled the
scene. Kumar is survived by wife
Kasthuri and two daughters. He had done minor roles in a few Tamil movies and
also acted in television serials like Kolangal and Idhayam.
In the heart of the city in T.Nagar, Police on Saturday (26/5)
detained three juveniles from Kamarajar Colony in T Nagar in connection with
the murder of two elderly sisters aged 75 and 72 in May 2011. The three boys were the prime suspects in the
murder eight months ago. The two sisters
were found strangled and 25-30 sovereigns of gold jewellery and cash were
missing from their house. Reportedly the
victim’s domestic help and her husband had hired the petty offenders to kill
the old women.
In another incident in the suburbs of Chitlapakkam, Police
fished out a duo who had fallen into a lake after consuming liquor and died
later.
While these are barbaric acts – a confession by
a Party claiming to be so disciplined has shocked the civilized World – the crime and utterance are ghastly
and heinous….
It is the statement of MM Mani, Idukki Dist Secretary of
CPM, that they have killed the enemies of the party. He is
quoted as stating ‘yes, We have shot,stabbed and beaten them to death’. A
hit-list of party enemies was prepared and each of them was executed in that
order. Had it been some other State, the
Human Rights activists would have been jumping to bring down the Government –
but their voices are not heard now. It
simply is a brazen display of medieval thuggery – and the local leader is
outrageous in openly claiming that. – and these words were uttered in a meeting
convened to clarify their position in another death. The shocking footage of his speech has found
its way to the state’s TV channels and is vivid with details of the murders, of
the plans and executions. Some reports
have it that it describes a list of 13, of which 4 are no more living. “The
first one was shot dead, the second was beaten to death and the third was
stabbed to death,” he said with absolute derision, citing their names and other
details. The murders he narrated were in
fact among the most sensational in the district – three of them in the early
1980s and the fourth in 2004. In the first three, nobody had been convicted for
lack of evidence.
The chief minister and the home minister said his speech
would be examined and action would be taken. The DGP has also asked the
district police chief to take action including re-examination of the
case-diary. The families of the victims said they would go to court asking for
new investigation.
The murder of Revolutionary Marxist Party leader TP
Chandrasekharan has drawn unprecedented public ire. There were reports of a former Minister
threatening a DSP, part of the investigating team. Chandrasekharan was unarmed, had not been
involved in a fight and was hacked beyond recognition by a hired criminal gang.
Although the CPM has washed its hands off the murder, investigation of the case
has led the police to several CPM functionaries including an area secretary and
criminals whom they had allegedly hired for the murder.
Savagery, brutality, grisly murders, goons,
hired murders, killing, kidnapping, maiming, forcing, shutting voices,
oppression – all seem to occur in the modern civilized World.
With regards – S.
Sampathkumar .
