A teenage Indian boy was thrashed, paraded through the streets with his head shaved and then thrown under a train for daring to write a love letter to a girl from a different caste, police said on Thursday.
Fifteen-year-old Manish Kumar was kidnapped by members of the rival caste on his way to school, had his head shaved and was thrown under a train as his mother begged for mercy, police in the impoverished eastern state of Bihar said.
One man has so far been arrested and a policeman suspended.
The victim’s mother Lalit Devi told police she had watched “helplessly” as the wheels of the train passed over her son.

“The accused persons killed the boy for writing a love letter to the girl of the same village,” superintendent of police in Kaimur district, Rajesh Kumar, told Reuters by telephone.
Police said the girl belonged to a washerman community, considered a lower caste, whereas the boy came from the slightly higher dairymen Yadav community.
Love across caste lines is often violently opposed, especially in rural northern India, and it is not uncommon for outraged families to kill to “save the family honour.”

Today people want to throw the Christian missionary effort ‘under a train’. But it is precisely this kind of ignorance, prejudice, and malevolence that was once bravely opposed in Asia (India, China, Burma, Korea) for close to 150 years by men and women who taught the Gospel of Christ. All missionaries were not flunkies to British economic exploitation of their Colonial Empire. Be afraid of a world in which pagan Orientals rule. Be very afraid.

There are no scruples, no ‘brake’ on the runaway train of corruption. Already we are being poisoned by products from China, and people have lost their lives because of faulty machine parts.

Joan of Arc – Yes a sad fact that these religious nuts are just that, nuts! However, so are the evangilist christians in the US – they are barking. Perhaps you would like to look at some esoteric historical facts before pushing any religion down anyones throat. American evangilist are complete crackpots and go to top even these Jingly nutters! If they have their way then we will be scorched by the billions – following their rapture ofcourse!
Hal-a-luya, praise the lord!!

ignorance and prejudice anywhere is unacceptable. We all need to stop trying to become masters of other humans, and for once become brothers. We are all the same, brought into a vicious cycle of hatred and prejudice that only serves the few at the top by keeping the public distracted. No deed out of love, and non-violent should be a cause to be killed.

The hindu caste system is probably the “best” invention a corrupt elite could ever come up with.
Just like the Thais who worship their king like a god. An well, Westerners worship TV and consumerism. The fucking anglo-american establishment rat are drooling over this, yet they won’t succeed. They have brainwashed many, but we will crash thru their Berlin walls of lies and deception and bring them all to justice.
We will bring them to justice. They will not win.
