Since IT revolution, many of the asian countries, India and its neighbors have improved a lot. Standard of living has improved. Along with that, people have become less poor, more educated, more liberal. But has the situation really improved? For women?
Yesterday, a 25 year old woman from Pakistan Farzana Parveen was buried. The previous day she was stoned to death by her relatives including her father, for marrying against their wishes. She was 3 months pregnant.
Last year another woman was stoned to death, for possessing a cell-phone.
Each year thousands of women are stoned to death in the name of honor-killing.
What is the use of development? And freedom? Why can't the governments ban such heinous and barbaric acts and punish the guilty?
