Honor killings for love - Still proud to be an Indian??

This post throws a general question to the public and has reference to all the "honor killings" of young people who happen to fall in love with each other and decide to go against the hypocritical society norms, only to make themselves the victim of the ghastly act when they are killed by their relatives. The reason - the fixed and orthodox mindsets of the people which justifies the killings and terms them as "honor killings". Two young people lost their lives just because they loved each other. Is this even human? Are these "killers" can rightfully be called human and sane?

India has been known to have the "see it, shut it, forget it" attitude for a long time. When there were bomb blasts in Delhi and Mumbai, all people came together and there was a rush of anger amongst the citizens, which eventually died down. When there were terrorists attacks in Mumbai, there was a similar flow of emotions, which again, died down in the end. And I am sure even the honor killing episode will fail to push us to the extent of taking a revenge for these honor killings.

My very simple question to the youth of India - What are we doing? The so called student unions of colleges which are known to be powerful - what are they doing towards this? I am sure they have their emotions and the intellect to realize what's going wrong, even they are silent over the issue. This is NOT a job of one person, there has to be a unanimous and powerful force to stop these episodes from happening time and again. It's a shame for our youth, shame for our society and even a bigger shame for our country to witness such incidents, and an EVEN BIGGER shame for the administration to let these events repeat themselves. Is this what we call democracy? Is there a separate clause of "right to kill" in the constitution of India to support the doers of the inhuman and ghastly act of murdering someone on the pretext of "honor"? My appeal to everyone reading this, please do whatever small amount of efforts we can, in making this little spark turn into a fire to burn the existence of everyone who are the protagonists of such inhuman acts, and PLEASE, STOP BEING OBLIVIOUS towards it.
