Man Murders Child For Not Doing Homework

A man is reported to have murdered his daughter ,, for not answering questions from her Home work.

This, while his wife and mother were watching TV .

The incident was reported to have taken place in Bangalore, on 25 July 2013.

In this case the motive is reported to be vendetta against the man's fiist wife who committed suicide or murderer d by him couple of years ago.

In another case a child was murdered for not reading the Bible and was doing Home work.

Leave alone the vendetta angle.

This raises two questions.

Home work for children.

Children from Pre KG are given Home work, when the child cn not even understand concepts,.

The child which does not complete the Home work is humiliated in the class room by being made to sit separately or made to stand outside the class room, parents are called in and warned.

What sort of system is this?

As it is parents, in their ambition to make their wards become a Money making machine have robbed children of their child hood.

Teachers too contribute this.

There is more to Life than scoring Rank in the school.

This is inhuman.

Secondly Religious fervor.

By reading Bible one does not become a Spiritual master.

Story:

Choices And Life

I studied in a premier college with dual scholarship as I could not afford Higher studies.

I was very active in the Students' Union and was responsible for three strikes in that premier Institution.

The causes were just, the authorities knew it, though could not admit it openly.

I finished my degree as the first rank holder in the University in major(Philosophy,Psychology and Sociology), only first class in The University in the language(Tamil),and one of the seven second class students who scored in English.

Though the college authorities knew I had created problem, the Chief of the group called me and asked me to continue MA , financial help for boarding, lodging and fees will be taken care of by them, I could not, because my family circumstances warranted that I take up a job.

Hence I had to refuse the offer despite their assurance that they will provide me with a job in the college as a Lecturer(Mind you the salary was good for the post in those days) because I could not wait for two more years to earn.

I took up a job, went out of the city, fell in love for over three years with my friend's( who was around 48 years) daughter.

As much I wanted to marry her, I did not ask her father.

in my view to marry one;s friend's daughter was a betrayal of Trust!

I got married and me my friend with my wife.

His daughter and he extended hospitality.

As we were returning Home, my wife told me that she saw Love in my friend's daughter's eyes and asked me what the matter was.

I explained her and she admonished me for not having married her and felt sorry for me too!

My wife, whom I loved and love still died in child birth.

I went off my mind for a couple of months, got remarried , begotten grand children.

i had choices,

to opt for higher study and a sinecure job.

to marry the one whom I loved,

to remain unmarried after my beloved wife's death,

I did not choose any of these options.

On hind sight I wish I could have taken them.

The cost?
