Did not have to mortgage my identity or self respect.. lived like a brown while having respect to whites and non whites and their lifestyle... how does it feel to act like white person? How does it feel to act like non indian origin ?! The way you twist & turn and write something only you can understand. I do not find any meaningful or sensible theme in your lines of highly confusing way of putting in words. Please try to elucidate in clear and simple two lines.

    If the cow was missing and son did not open his mouth meas father has the right kill his own son ? Is that jungle rule justfied ? Why the father did not take police help ? By looking at his facial condition it proves that he is an acoholic and took such a nasty step.

    Varun, first of all to show your high esteem did you complete your degree in mathrabasha. Why our constitution is still run on British way who have introduced the system 100s of years back. Count on your body how may indigenous things you are wearing. Just count number of Sadhus, fake gurus have modified cultural values. Even in parties tou may look out where is scotch . Enough for now😀👍

    Sometimes Patience is not a virtue and this is a clear example. To all those commenting about the father, do also think about what the son might have done to have enraged him ?? Their source of income was the cow they owned and one day all of a sudden the cow went missing and the son is not opening up where the cow went,

    Whatsoever serious may be the reason, does it justify to burn a son. Now he will be booked under attempt to murder, what will he do with the cow or goat.

    Sathish jm, Kumpala - First you counter argue with Sanjay Hebri. He pointed finger at certain culture. You need not teach me what is our culture and how we the indigenous are practicing and acting in accordance with the preaching of our own culture. Ministers rape and daughters are raped cast & creed is at the top of our culture. Bro, why you are trying to pull the string ?

    Jossey S,Nallasopara,it is not only unemployment and inflation is the cause for such crimes,but mostly alcohol consume in unlimited way with what they earn take it to buy alcohol.What remains is their head full fiasco,and starts to fighting.Noone is in the state to check what one doing to other .Mostly in villages thats the daily story.Father doesnt recognize son,son dont know who is the mother .or daughter.sad things .Uneducated know only one language ,alcohol ,and agin alcohol.mostly these backward caste .when son is having 70%burns ,will e difficult to treat him.may require long term treatment,with infection etc.Hope he regains health fast.

    Westerners use guns. Dousing by kerosene or petrol was started in India. India has the history of burning daughters-in-law for dowry from centuries.
