Failed Government or failed Democracy? What would you call it when my freedom of speech is not allowed to be exercised? What would you call it when my opinions are considered racist due to my skin color and theirs are never? What do you call it when my privilege as a citizen is measured by my skin color? What do you call it when my tax contribution means lesser due to my skin color? What do you call it when my government decide what I should study, AGAIN due to my skin color?

I don't know but I am feeling so   shitty.   He was 22 and probably if someone just looked harder at his situation, he might be ...

THE BATH OF DEATH or what is also known as 'Senicide'. A common practice in India till to date especially in villages. Many questioned how is this cruel compared to euthanasia? Who do we blame? Can education alone solve the social issue?  What sickens me more is, they justify this sinful act saying it is the will of God.

After this, the person is given a cold bath and put to bed. The body temperature soon dips, often to a lethal extent. After 15 minutes, the person is made to drink a few glasses of tender coconut water and a glass of milk. This causes renal failure. In a day or two, the person catches a fever and dies. If the oil and coconut water failed, the person would be given a glass of mud mixed with water or a bun which will be forced down their t...
