They should have sent Arushi to a good boarding school and there she would be living and there would not be any Hemraj to create difficulties.Still, it is beyond any sort of comprehension to think such an act by parents, it seems they are now cancers to the society.
No Mohan, I am not that hopeless yet. The situation is not that bad. Not all parents are that cruel, maybe they did it because they were too angry. Still the fault is theirs, they did not keep a good eye on their only child but spent more time in clubs etc.
This points again to the hypocratic attitude of such people, while the parents freely went club-hopping and generally followed a hi-socialite type of lifestyle, the daughter was probably stifled and kept home at all times, left to her own devices, so its not surprising if the domestic servant could charm her and get her to have intercourse with him of her free will! It is parents who were at fault and they cruelly made her pay for it! :blink:
I agree, there are people in so-called upper class and upper middle class. But they only wake up when something goes terribly wrong. And there are many incident of the same kind.
All are running behind money. People worrying for money and status. No one have time for family and children. Join family system is in last stage. With this case people should be decide their priorty. Money, status or family.
Everything you mentioned is necessary but not at the cost of your own children. One has to keep a balance on everything and children should come first. After all we are earning money for our loved ones.
There are good boarding which are devoid of these sins. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:They should have sent Arushi to a good boarding school and there she would be living and there would not be any Hemraj to create difficulties.Still, it is beyond any sort of comprehension to think such an act by parents, it seems they are now cancers to the society.

Hem rajs are present in every corner and every street. In the boarding schools several girls were molested by their own wardens. If there is no safety in the home. You can't find safety anywhere.

The case has aroused tremendous interest in all parts of the country if not the world because it is not a simple case of murder. A murder that holds too many pointers to a decadent culture of a moribund society, the seamy side of life of an upwardly mobile middle which is awash with money but in a very life-threatening moral crisis.

Those factors are indeed the cause for everything that happened that night. Blame it on globalization that has brought everything within easy reach that can be bought with money, but did not bring with it the maturity to deal with such factors with maturity and level heads!

I totally agree that lifestyle has a lot to do with what course our lives can take and this is the worst possible example there is ! I hope that all the upper middle class women take note ...We had a case here in Mangalore where a teenager , an only daughter coming from an extremely wealthy family owning Coffee plantations ,killed herself because she felt lonely ..The girl had been depressed for a long time but the parents both busy making money had no time to sit and talk to her and bring her out of her depression...Such a waste of life and what use is their money or status?
They should have sent their child to a good boarding, as it seems they have urban life style, and have been away from home, and it is not safe to leave child with the care of male domestic help.The case has aroused tremendous interest in all parts of the country if not the world because it is not a simple case of murder.

It has got nothing to do with Urban or rural life styles. A careful supervision even if the child is under the custody of a maid is the point that's missing. Even in urban areas responsible parents are there who are successfully performing their parental duties.

I agree, it depends on individuals..However much one may argue for eqaulity,certain things have to be considered practcally, for example child rearing , which largely falls on the woman since she ius best equipped to do it. One need not ggive up a job but can be a little more vigilent and concerned instead of depending completely on maids and domestic helps...sending children to boarding school may seem like an option but in the long run it will have its own repercussions ..

I too don't agree that there exists any such rural and urban divide in this regard but one has to keep the pragmatic reality that the problem has been steadily worsening in the urban areas. A typical rural household still retains the last vestige of the joint family system.

I agree ! Many couple dont want to have their parents living with them, which to a great extent solves the problem of looking after young children....I know of my own colleagues and friends who would rather suffer and send children to extended tuition classes and to their friends houses ( where again the parents are out working) rather than let their in laws live with them>they feel that it curtails their freedom - this may be true to a certain extent but we have to dispassionately consider what is the best option that is there under the circumstance and opt for that .After having had children you need to do the best you can for them.If you do the bare minimum for them ( money doe not come in here ) they will definitely grow up to be quite indifferent to you as well as others ..

To my great consternation, I find some parents' intense dislike for involving grandparents in the formative years of their grandchildren, holding forth such queer views that their indulgence might spoil them, huh!! There used to be days in not so distant days that a child's best friend was thought to be granddad or grandma!!! How things have changed!!

No Mohan, I am not that hopeless yet. The situation is not that bad. Not all parents are that cruel, maybe they did it because they were too angry. Still the fault is theirs, they did not keep a good eye on their only child but spent more time in clubs etc.
This points again to the hypocratic attitude of such people, while the parents freely went club-hopping and generally followed a hi-socialite type of lifestyle, the daughter was probably stifled and kept home at all times, left to her own devices, so its not surprising if the domestic servant could charm her and get her to have intercourse with him of her free will! It is parents who were at fault and they cruelly made her pay for it! :blink:
I agree, there are people in so-called upper class and upper middle class. But they only wake up when something goes terribly wrong. And there are many incident of the same kind.
Apparently the judge while delivering his verdict made a mention of their lifestyle of partying ,consuming liquor beyond certain limit and neglecting the girl which he felt was one of the causes for the tragedy...
It has got nothing to do with Urban or rural life styles. A careful supervision even if the child is under the custody of a maid is the point that's missing. Even in urban areas responsible parents are there who are successfully performing their parental duties.
I agree, it depends on individuals..However much one may argue for eqaulity,certain things have to be considered practcally, for example child rearing , which largely falls on the woman since she ius best equipped to do it. One need not ggive up a job but can be a little more vigilent and concerned instead of depending completely on maids and domestic helps...sending children to boarding school may seem like an option but in the long run it will have its own repercussions ..
I too don't agree that there exists any such rural and urban divide in this regard but one has to keep the pragmatic reality that the problem has been steadily worsening in the urban areas. A typical rural household still retains the last vestige of the joint family system.
I agree ! Many couple dont want to have their parents living with them, which to a great extent solves the problem of looking after young children....I know of my own colleagues and friends who would rather suffer and send children to extended tuition classes and to their friends houses ( where again the parents are out working) rather than let their in laws live with them>they feel that it curtails their freedom - this may be true to a certain extent but we have to dispassionately consider what is the best option that is there under the circumstance and opt for that .After having had children you need to do the best you can for them.If you do the bare minimum for them ( money doe not come in here ) they will definitely grow up to be quite indifferent to you as well as others ..
To my great consternation, I find some parents' intense dislike for involving grandparents in the formative years of their grandchildren, holding forth such queer views that their indulgence might spoil them, huh!! There used to be days in not so distant days that a child's best friend was thought to be granddad or grandma!!! How things have changed!!
Unfortunate, but true, that such parents set the pace of each generation and they do not accept the grand-parents' lifestyle to come in the way of their children. In fact I am witness to a couple of family where the parents - for example - never wanted their children to take any home remedy that the grandparents suggested as a cure for any health issue; instead, they thought such remedies are applicable for uneducated and old people only!
