Dear Ms Shukla,
This is regarding your article "Murder most foul" in the Deccan Chronicle, the
feedback from Mr Ram Sarangapani and your response to Mr Ram .
As you suggested , let us come to the issue --
1) You have given a vivid description of how the dog was killed. So I would
assume you are an eye witness to the incident and was in the room with Mr
Yoronso. May I know what you were doing there and why you did not try to
stop Mr Yoronso ? If you were not there, will it be fair to assume that the
description was just your imagination ?
2) You have already convicted Mr Yoronso of crime and suggested what the
punishment should be. May I ask your legal authority to convict a citizen ?
3) You have stated "North-Eastern students at JNU regularly lynch and barbecue
dogs" . Can you provide an evidence that people of NE barbecue dogs ? Do
you know for sure that all NE students are dog eaters ?
4) Are you advocating to stop the killing of hen, goat, lamb etc for human
consumption ?
5) You mentioned that what Mr Yoronso did was illegal . Is it that people who
eat chicken or other form of meat are also doing illegal activity ? If so,
what is your action plan ?
6) In your letter to Mr Ram you mentioned "Yoronso did not just kill a dog --
though that is bad enough". I understand that killing a dog is bad. But did
you ever use such strong words against killing a goat OR a Hen or a Duck etc ?
If not, why do you think killing a dog is bad but not killing a goat ?
7) In your letter to Mr Ram, you have stated -- "Nagas and other North
Easterners must join with all Indians" . Do you think that Nagas or other
North Easterners are DIFFERENT from Indians ?
8) In your article you mentioned about your pet -- Bindu and how your Army
Husband terrorized the Village Head who SUPPOSEDLY (Yes you did not have any
proof) abducted your dog. Do you think it was legal for your Army Husband to
abuse his position ? What is your action plan against him ?
Lastly, you should know that the internet edition of any News Paper is
accessible throughout the world. If you are unable to accept the "lectures
from NRI" you should not publish your article in internet editions. As a
matter of fact, Mr Ram seems to have a better grasp on history and geography
of India than you. He at least knows that the North East India comprises of 7
different states and certain communities of ONE state eats dog which you do not
seem to know.
I am sad to say that it is because of mind set like yours that some people of
North East feel alieneted.
Hope you will shed your arrogance and try to learn more about North Eastern
India , India in general, the Indian judiciary system and role and duty of
Indian Army in India.
Best Regards
Krishnendu Chakraborty
