A tragic death
I am trying to write something with a dampened heart. My heart is dampened but my wrath gushes forth. Every death is heart-rending but deaths caused by fellow human-shaped animals are thousand times more so. One soul has just passed away. His soul is just out of his body but it is intact. It is intact to curse us, curse all the people of this country forever. We are all responsible for this death. We are all active participants in this murder. Neither I, nor anyone else, can shrug off the responsibility of this heinous homicide.
He was a boy from an extremely impoverished family. He had to endure threats of being thrown out of room. He had to suffer daily humiliation only because he was not a political student. He had to respect political “Big Brothers”. Every episode of his life has ended.
How many lives do you want to claim? How much blood of your sons do you want? Are your educational institutions imparting education or teaching us violence only?
Our VCs and other leading teachers (?) are politically appointed. The teachers are not respected by any more. We are greatly ashamed of introducing ourselves as students of this university. Time will come when university teachers and students will be spitted on.
