A vicious war against love is going on in India. Honour killing madness...

Nineteen honour killings between April 9 and June 30. That translates to 80 days. Roughly, one murder every four days. Clearly, north India is waging an undeclared war against love.

You might think, along with Khap officials, honour killings have to do with caste. But the real casualty is love. None of the murdered couples married by arrangement. Scratch the skin of caste, and out comes love, bleeding. Deep down, the real enemy of Khap is an emotion.

Brothers shooting sisters, grandmother killing granddaughter, mother strangling daughter, father arranging son's death. Honour killings offer a variety of combinations. All of them equally effective, all of them totally result oriented. More...

Don't miss:

  1. "Modern" India where the primitive caste system continues to kill young couples...
  2. In 2009, 647 women were murdered in Pakistan...
  3. 'Only whores choose their partners' 
  4. Laws in India to make honour killings a distinct offence?
  5. The stoning of Soraya, honour killings in the Muslim world...
  6. Billy Joel and She's always a woman to me...
