Motherhood is a beautiful journey for every woman. What if danger arrives in an unexpected form to destroy it?
In Kanyakumari, the southernmost district of Tamil Nadu a couple had visited their parent’s house in Manali along with their two-year-old daughter. She was seen playing in front of the house. After a while the couple found the child missing and searched in the neighbouring places. When she was nowhere to be seen, they lodged a police complaint.
The police arrived quickly to investigate further. Since there was a big well nearby they doubted if the kid could have fallen inside and reviewed the CCTV footage. While the processing was on, they heard a child’s scream nearby and immediately rushed in the direction of the sound. It was around 8 at the night.
They saw a sixty-eight-year-old man chanting mantras and performing some rituals. The kid was seen continuously crying to which he did not pay any attention. They immediately rescued the kid and nabbed him. He confessed that he kidnapped the child for human sacrifice and that he performs black magic. The investigation is still ongoing.
Human sacrifice is one word to send shivers even if were seen as visuals in a movie. That too a two-year child is not something that could even be imagined.
It is hardly three months since the news of two women brutally murdered in Kerala for black magic rituals. The culprits were arrested by the police. Still lives lost stands the same.
Is it still people’s faith that needs to be blamed here? One of the reasons for such drastic things can be greed in some form. So it drives them to the extent of killing a human, especially a girl child? Though our law stands strong in providing the deserved judgment, prevention is better than cure.
In this case, the girl child saved is a big relief. Creating the necessary awareness could help in reducing such incidents. A household perishes in happiness and flourishes in riches when the girl in the family is educated not when being sacrificed to superstitious beliefs.

Ms. Kulkarni, please don’t apologise ‘IF’ you think you hurt women. Apologise because you got your facts wrong. Apologise for making sexual harassment a casual joke.
If Sonali Kulkarni’s speech on most modern Indian women being lazy left me shocked and enraged, her apology post left me deeply saddened.
I’d shared my thoughts on her problematic speech in an earlier article. So, I’ll share why I felt Kulkarni’s apology post was more damaging than her speech.
If her speech made her an overnight hero among MRAs, sexists, and people who were awed by her dramatic words, then her apology post made her a legendary saint.
There are many mountains I need to climb just to be, just to live my life, just to have my say... because they are mountains you've built to oppress women.
Trigger Warning: This deals with various kinds of violence against women including rape, and may be triggering for survivors.
I haven’t climbed a literal mountain yet Was busy with the metaphorical ones – born a woman Fighting for the air that should have come free And I am one of the privileged ones, I realize that
Yet, if I get passionate, just like you do I will pay for it – with burden, shame, – and possibly a life to carry So, my mountains are the laws you overturn My mountains are the empty shelves where there should have been pills
