Tale of Two Cities

In two separate incidents, a Bangladeshi girl was ‘lashed to death‘ and a Dalit girl in India had her ‘body parts chopped off.’ In Bangladesh, 14 year old girl, accused of adultery was publicly lashed under Islamic Sharia law. In India, a 16 year old Dalit girl had her nose, ear and a part of her hand chopped off when she resisted to rape. The same tale of brutality continues, everywhere. Not so surprised anymore. We have internalized shock, haven’t we?
