DEATH OF A KILLER.

Killed brother is no more. Killer brother is no more. What was between them will now remain shrouded. They say death is great equalizer. It seems to be right to some extent. The murder has given front page headline to the death of both brothers.

What was particularly amazing and moving was poise of third brother. No judgment, no display of either sympathy or animosity. It was a case of simply rising to the demand of duty called by the situation. No irritation for inhuman provocation of media. Very few would have matched the matured way. Shining example laid before not so shining others from family. Particularly pathetic is mother. Others can be dismissed as Iterjana.

Maranantani vairani is what philosophy tells us. We find that for the most of the commoners death brings more of avenge than forgiveness. That is basic instinct of animal in human. The culture and values take us to higher level. Only for those who want to rise higher. For commoners it is geek justification. What was the need to outcast the family of killer ? Surely they were neither culprit nor conspirator. Not forgiving the killer is one thing and not able to forgive his family is another. What is family ? What is relation ? Only direct relation ? Does the family ends with wife and kids ? People of small stature show more maturity. The so called elite who are sometimes caught with narcotics fail miserably and still manage to hog into lime light of small screen and media.

Attempt is not to justify the killing. Violence is bad any where and every where. But one can overcome bad basic instincts by adapting to noble values like tolerance, forgiveness etc. Don’t we remember last words of Christ asking forgiving for those who put him on the cross ?

Forget MAHAJANS ( with exception of one ) and follow LAGHUJANS . This time it is not “Mahajano yen gata sa pantha
