When the whole country is shocked by the honor killings happening at different corners of India, United Kingdom has also expressed its concern for honor killing amongst the Indians in UK. Is it an issue that concerns the NRIs in UK too?
A film on Honor killings in India was recently shown in British Parliament. The members of both the House of Commons and House of Lords viewed the film. The film was made Avatar Bhogal’s Honour, a British born Indian.
It is true that honor killing is a serious issue in India. But I don’t think that the NRIs in UK who are considered to be much educated than the resident Indians are may facing such issues. Even they face such issues also, it is not worth showing in the British Parliament in the form of a film. Was it UK’s concern for social evil or an insult on India?
If UK is really serious about the issues of India and Indians, there are more serious issues that need their concern. Indians living in UK will be more aware of such issues. Does honor killing exist in UK too? Is there any recent incident amongst the non residents Indians living in UK? If it exists, what are the main reasons behind it and what is the solution to this problem ? I invite all the Proud Indians in UK to participate in this discussion.
