PROUT Editor's note: Indians are the biggest murderers of women. Every day, one can read in the newspapers in every town of women being set on fire by her husband or mother-in-law. This is part and parcel of Indian culture. The numbers are increasing every year. Those are only reported cases. Thousands more cases are never reported or are registered by the police as accidents/ kitchen fires. It is a crime done by Hindus and Hindus should focus on the problem, condemn it and solve it before moving on to the crimes committed by people in other religions. There are far more Hindu women killed by Hindu men in India than are Muslim women killed by Muslim men in countries like Afghanistan or Pakistan. So let the Hindus take care of their own crimes first before moving on to the crimes of Muslims! Those hysterical hate-mongers who rant and rave about how Muslims oppress women, let them walk to the neighbor's house and liberate the women there. And for the good Hindu women, if their husbands start to pour kerosene on their bodies, let them grab the kerosene and pour it onto those evil husbands, and light the match also. It is about time that Hindu women stop dying as mute victims. Rather, let them turn their husbands into ashes! At least the ashes will have some practical use as fertilizer for a bumper brinjal crop!

The crime branch of the Punjab today began an inquiry into the Manju dowry burning case, in which the city police is on the backfoot for allegedly not taking timely action on her complaint.
The woman, Manju, had suffered burn injuries all over her body after in-laws allegedly burnt her for not bringing sufficient dowry last year. She had to knock the doors of the Punjab State Human Rights Commission for justice as no case was registered by the Basti Jodhewal police.
The commission had directed the Punjab police crime branch to investigate the matter. A team for the crime branch arrived at her in-laws house in Street No. 2, Basti Jodhewal, and recorded the statements of the accused, the victim and colony residents. Manju Bala had married Satish Kumar, a resident of Basti Jodhewal, on April 14, 2000.
