Attrocities Against Women

Dear Mr. Ram,
there has been columns and 'letters to the editor' written on Taslima Nasrin's attack in Hyderabad by MIM legistrators, both for and against, yes, all the justifications are of the highest order and I agree with some on the point of where to draw a line on the freedom of speech. Always there is ill will generated when one hurts the sentiments of a religion.

But has anyone given a thought on Hina Fathima, the woman who was badly burnt by an acid attack by her husband in Mysore. These sort of crimes are rampant in our society and no one ever gives a thought on these mindless violence perpetuated on a defenceless woman, who thinks her husband and her children are her only reason for her existence.

Let's stop glorifying or condemning these celebrities and raise up our voice for these women who sacrifice their life for their children's well being.

I do appreciate your paper to publish the report on Hina Fathima and her plight.

Regards,

K.G. Sastha Prakash,
