Ogad Singh’s 20-year-old daughter had been living at home in the Rajasthani village of Dungarji after separating from her husband about two years ago.
Police Superintendent Umesh Ojha said Singh grew angry with the fact that his daughter was having affairs with multiple men, and became enraged when she eloped with one of them about two weeks ago
Singh reportedly forced her to move back home on Sunday, and cut off her head today (Monday) with a sword.
That’s about as disturbing as it gets. Let’s hope this dad gets what’s coming to him.

“(AUBURN, Ala.) — Authorities searched Monday for a gunman suspected of killing three people and wounding three others in a weekend shooting at a pool party near Auburn University that a witness said began with a fight over a woman.
Two of the slain victims were former players for the school’s powerhouse football program.
Authorities were searching for Desmonte Leonard, 22, of Montgomery, who is accused of opening fire Saturday night at an apartment complex after getting into a fight with some of the victims over a woman. He faces three counts of capital murder.
Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said Leonard fled the scene in a white Chevrolet that he abandoned on the way back to Montgomery, about 55 miles away. They believed he was in the Montgomery area.
Of the three wounded victims, John Robertson remained in critical condition after being shot in the head. Xavier Moss was released from the hospital. The third wounded victim was Eric Mack, a current football player who is expected to recover.
Slain were Edward Christian, who had to quit the team because of a lingering back injury, and Ladarious Phillips, who had previously quit playing football. The other person killed was 20-year-old Demario Pitts.
Police emphasized that the shootings didn’t appear to have anything to do with some of the victims being former or current players on the football team, which won the national championship in 2010. “The only connection that the Auburn football team has to this is they are victims of a brutal shooting. Sometimes the young men get a bad rap, I feel like, but they are the victims today,” Dawson said.
Dawson said he did not know why the party was being held or what started the fight.
Turquorius Vines, 23, said he was at the party Saturday evening at the University Heights apartments with one of his friend, Pitts. He said he and his friend were approached by two other men who started arguing with them over a woman.
Vines said he punched one of the men, while Pitts hit both of the men over the head with a bottle. Either one or both of the two men then started shooting, he said. He said Pitts was shot and killed, while two others also were hit by gunfire. Vines said he had never met the men he was arguing with. “It’s like I lost a lung,” Vines said of losing his friend. “I don’t know how I’m going to survive this.”
Whatever be the source of Knowledge or Whence it comes from, it is worth noting .
Mein Kampf
Hitler, no doubt, was , a Megalomaniac, a butcher who sent people to Gas Chambers to create Lebensraum (Living Space for Aryans),suppressed dissent with an iron fist and a Dictator of the worst Order.
But that does not mean what ever he had to say is non-sense.
” It was Nationalist,but unfortunately it paid too little heed to social problems” (Mein Kampf p.113)
True, Nationalism without addressing Social Problems is worthless.
On Doctrines without Spiritual Base.
“”all attempts to exterminate a Doctrine,without a Spiritual basis of attack against it,and to wipe out all the organizations it has created ,have led in many cases to the very opposite being achieved”( Mein Kampf-p. 152)
Right.Any Doctrine/Party without Spiritual basis is harmful to the Society,
On Prostitution.
“Prostitution is a disgrace to Humanity and can not be removed simply by Academic or Charitable methods.Its restriction and final extermination presupposes the removal of a whole series of contributory circumstances. The first remedy must always be to establish such conditions as will make early marriages possible,especially for young men-for women are,only passive subjects in this matter”
On Spurious Literature and Adults Only.
“In almost all the various fields of of German Art and Culture those morbid phenomena may be observed.Here every thing seems to have crossed the culminating point of excellence and to have entered the curve of hasty decline…….
A sad symptom of decline was manifested by the fact that in the case of many ‘Art Centres’ the sign was posted on the entrance doors:
For Adults Only”
I have quoted some which are of relevance but this is not to approve of what he did.
Most of Hitler’s ideas were good.
It is unfortunate that he did not have a Mentor like Alexander had-Aristotle!
It is good that the Mein Kampf is being republished in Germany and Bavaria.
Mein Kampf must be made available with the necessary annotations as to what is to be not followed with explanations thereof.
Story:
One of the most controversial books in history is about to come back into print in its homeland — something that hasn’t been true in nearly 70 years. On Monday, the German state of Bavaria announced plans to publish an annotated version of Adolf Hitler’s infamous “Mein Kampf,” according to Der Spiegel.
“Mein Kampf” is currently banned in Austria and Russia, the Daily Mail writes. But contrary to popular belief, the notorious book is not banned in Germany — Bavaria has simply prevented its printing in an effort to control production, the AP notes.
In January, a German magazine ignited controversy when it tried to publish excerpts from the book alongside critical commentary, the New York Times reports. German authorities took the matter to court, which ruled that any publication of the book violated Bavaria’s copyright.
But now, with the copyright expiration drawing near, Bavaria is publishing its own version of the book and calling it damage control. Der Spiegel reports that the book will include commentaries that condemn Hitler’s arguments.
A British publisher plans to sell excerpts from Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” in Germany, claiming he wants to demystify the infamous book. But the controversial move could provoke a legal dispute with the Bavarian government, which owns the copyright and refuses reprint permission.
Is it permissible to sit in a cafe and read Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf?” British publisher Peter McGee, 51, has no doubt. “Of course it is. It’s long overdue that a broad public should get the opportunity to deal with the original text.”
And because McGee is so sure he’s right, he plans to serialize extracts of the book in three small 15-page brochures with an initial print run of 100,000 copies each. The front cover features a photo of Hitler with a black bar obscuring his eyes and a headline that translates to “The unreadable book.”
The plans could trigger opposition from Bavarian civil servants, though. Contrary to common belief, “Mein Kampf” is not banned in Germany. But the state of Bavaria, which seized Hitler’s assets after his death, owns the copyright to his infamous treatise and has so far consistently prohibited efforts to reprint it.
McGee likes a fight and is no stranger to scandal. In 2009, he published reprints of vintage Nazi newspapers like Der Angriff and Völkischer Beobachter with print runs of up to 300,000, delivered alongside comments from historians.
Confiscated By Police
The move caused a minor uproar in Germany, with the conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung warning of an “embellishment of horror” and the Central Council of Jews in Germany labelling the reprints potential “blueprints for budding Nazis.”
The row escalated and the Bavarian government, which also owns the copyright to the two newspapers, dispatched police throughout the nation to seize the republished copies.
There have long been periodic calls from historians for “Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler’s seminal work of hate and prejudice, to be republished in German. If an annotated, academic version of the polemic comes out, so goes the argument, it could take the wind out of neo-Nazi sails once the book is no longer protected by copyright.
Now, a new version is in the works. According to a Wednesday report on German radio, the Munich Institute of Contemporary History is working on an annotated edition complete with notes on where the ideas Hitler expounds on in his book originated.
But the state of Bavaria, which holds the “Mein Kampf” (“My Struggle”) copyright, says that it doesn’t plan on allowing the new version to hit the shelves before the book enters the public domain.
“The state government is not planning on changing course,” the Bavarian government said in a statement to the Bayerischer Rundfunk public radio station. “No permission has been granted to the Institute of Contemporary History.”
70 Years after Hitler’s Death
Nevertheless, institute head Horst Möller says that work on the new edition, undertaken by historians Edith Raim and Othmar Plöckinger, will go ahead. “If we complete the text prior to the end of the copyright, we can approach the authorities once again,” he told Bayerischer Rundfunk.'( source : er Spiegel)
How insensitive can one get in the pursuit of money!
KFC Ad.
While millions of people evacuated the coastline along the Indian Ocean following the 8.6 magnitude earthquake that shook northern Indonesia Wednesday, KFCThailand insisted that they rush home and order a bucket of chicken.
Local authorities along the Indian Ocean rim braced for a disastrous tsunami, people fled for higher ground. According to the Associated Press, in an inopportune moment KFC posted on its Facebook page: “Let’s hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don’t forget to order your favorite KFC menu.”
By the time tsunami warnings subsided, hundreds of people began lambasting the company on Thai web pages, prompting the immediate removal of the message. An apology replaced the post, asking for forgiveness for the error.
For many, Wednesday’s earthquakes served as a painful reminder of the devastating outcome of the Asian tsunami in 2004 that claimed 230,000 lives in the same region.
A NavyF-18 fighter just went down between a Virginia Beachgrade school and an animal rescue center—and the result is an enormous flaming heap of jet wreckage.
FA18D Fighter Jet Crash, VA Beach WAVY-TV reports “the Navy told WAVY.com the plane was an F18 Strike fighter squadron 106,” and is clearly still ablaze from on the ground images. No word on whether any pilot was injured (or dead), but there are already reports of injured pedestrians. No word on what caused the plane, which costs tens of millions of dollars to go down, but it somehow managed to avoid hitting a minigolf course and water park, though nearby residences may not have been spared. CNN relays one particularly awful detail:
Another witness, Zack Zapatero, said the plane crashed into a building occupied by senior citizens. He took photos of the scene. “There’s these large fire balls coming up,” Zapatero said. “I was told there was a bunch of senior citizens that live in that building, which worries me a lot. “Buildings were starting to collapse,” he said of the wreckage scene.
