In a horrific act of blind faith, a man residing in Rajasthan’s Pipad City in Jodhpur district has been arrested by the police for killing his 4-year old daughter as a ‘holy sacrifice’ to ‘Allah’ during the month of Ramzan.

Rizwana, Nawab Ali Qureshi’s eldest daughter was found dead with her throat slit on Friday morning, the Superintendent of Police (Jodhpur Rural) Ranjan Dushyant informed.

What happened?

Qureshi had brought Rizwana back from her Grandparent’s house on Thursday. He then took her to the market to buy her sweets and fruits. Later that night, he woke her up, took her to the veranda, made her sit on his lap, and he read a kalma (prayer), before slitting her throat. In his confession he mentioned that at this point “Satan came over him”, forcing him to do the deed. He went back to sleep after this.

The family and Rizwana used to sleep on the roof of their house. At 3 am, Shabana, Rizwana’s mother stepped out to find her in a pool of blood. She then took her to the Government Hospital where she was pronounced dead. They registered a complaint with Jodhpur Rural Police. Afterward, when the police interrogated Qureshi, he confessed to the crime stating, he wished to seek Allah’s blessings.

The Hindustan Times reported that the police quoted the accused as saying, “I am a Namazi and I love my child more than my own life. I offered my daughter as a sacrifice.”

The Logical Indian Take

A horrific and barbaric act was committed by a father to please his god. A 4-Yr-Old was killed to death by his father. This is not an isolated incident as one might think. Acts of violence in the name of faith, or because of superstitions is being done every day and we need to work towards a society where we have a scientific temper.

The Logical Indian requests to shun or be careful about rituals which could hurt yourself or others. There is so much ignorance still in our society, and it is the responsibility of both, the citizens and the government to spread awareness.

This Diwali Let Us Rebuild Schools To Secure A Better Future For The Country

We all have memories attached to our schools. Yes, obviously we do, otherwise, why would we be all excited for our school’s 10-year reunion? Because reunions are the time when we get to relive those juvenile memories and cherish the good old days.

The times we shared the same bench with our best friend and played tic tac toe on the desk. The times we took toilet breaks in the middle of a class only to secretly loiter around the corridors. The brilliant lunches we shared with our friends on the school playground during recess. Reminiscing over these memories warms our hearts.

Did you know that at least 35 million children between the age group of 6-14 do not attend school in India? There have been several reports that girls drop out of school because of a lack of basic facilities such as toilets. These children are not only missing out on basic education, but they are also missing out on those wonderful memories.

In a bid to make early education accessible to all, HIL Limited has taken a wonderful initiative. HIL Limited believe in the fact that when we do things together, better things happen, standing by their philosophy of ‘Together We Build’. In the film, you can see a small child Kamli. The naive child makes a colorful paper lantern for Diwali and gifts it to her school, which is in shambles. She is eager to learn and her adamant heart still gives her the hope that the colourful lantern might make her broken school a little brighter. After her Diwali holidays, when she comes back to her school and finds it prettier her heart rejoices.

HIL Limited believes that education is the right step towards bringing young minds together and creating a feeling of togetherness. Their social initiative has helped 75,000 children like Kamli by rebuilding their schools.

Now, these children would not miss out on basic education. They will also get to make beautiful memories that they will cherish for a very long time. This would also make their future stronger and more reliable. If you know any such school that needs attention, then please write to [email protected].

The Logical Indian appreciates HIL Limited for the wonderful initiative they have taken to make the future of so many underprivileged children better. Children are the future of the country and we hope that by making their future secure, we are taking our country forward.
