Human life is precious

Two Indian fishermen who were fishing off coast of Kerala in Southern India were shot dead by Italian marines five days ago. The marines have been charged of murder. The Indian police had arrested them and had taken them into custody. They have been now sent to 15days of remand as this is what is done till court hearing takes place.  This has aroused the local people and protests are going on. They want justice to be done when lives of fellow Indians were lost for no reason.

What is most hurtful is that is our simple fishermen’s lives so cheap that foreign marines take it as fun to shoot them? They had said they had thought these fishermen "looked like pirates"; for these marines, travelling in high seas, a game of “let’s shoot Indian pirates for target practice” was full of fun. Is value of human life so cheap? Do Indians look so so small that couple of lives was nothing to these marines?
Our status in the comity of nations is determined by how well we conduct ourselves in international conventions.It is also determined by how well our people are treated by outsiders.

We Indians have adopted to world culture;and we work as engineers, doctors, and managers,all over the world.We want to be respected.All people need respect,however big or small.We Indians are highly educated people,and we know our rights well. Guarding our Honor is very important to us. We want human dignity. We should to be treated like fellow human beings, and not as any animal—shooting down fishermen! Its outrageous!
