Barbarians

Suri, is the headquarter of Birbhum district in the Indian state of West Bengal, India.



Suri is one of the main educational centers of Birbhum. Colleges include old Suri Vidyasagar College and new Birbhum Mahavidyalaya affiliated with the University of Burdwan, Birbhum Institute of Engineering & Technology and Sri Sri Ramkrisna Shilpa Vidyapith(it's a 50 years old institution with great land mark of diploma course in Mechanical & Civil Engineering in west bengal). It has one of the oldest School of the District, Birbhum Zilla School. The other schools are mostly new, except for Suri Benimadhab Institution established in 1902.R T Girls high school and Banimandir high school situated here.Another famus school of Suri is Suri P.& C.M.M.High School.

But none of these educational centres seem to teach ‘HUMANITY’. I say this because of a perverted, barbaric act by people from this place. I am posting this article I read in the newspaper today.

“A 17-year-old tribal girl was stripped, beaten and forced to walk nude for 8km across three villages with hundreds of men molesting her all the way and taking videos on their mobiles. It was a shocking reminder of the Guwahati incident in November 2007 when a teenager was stripped and molested by a mob during an ethnic clash. An MMS clipping of the Birbhum girl’s ordeal is now doing the rounds under the name 'Adibasi girl'. And it is this footage that is finally getting the victim some justice.

According to sources, the girls fault was that she loved a boy from another community. Police were shocked to learn that the panchayats and other local bodies knew of the incident but hadn't bothered to inform the administration. The incident happened four months ago but the girl was too traumatized to go to the authorities. It is only when the administration came to know of the MMS that police swung into action on their own and arrested five of the culprits on Sunday. 

Some frames in the video are, too, horrific to watch. The girl has a dazed, dead look on her face as she staggers along dusty dirt tracks. A jeering crowd of tribals follows her, beating drums and thrashing her with sticks whenever she stops. Little boys throw stones at her. She takes the blows, defenceless, as she uses her arms in a futile attempt to protect her honour. Men pounce on her, pull her arms apart and molest her amid laughter as the drums beat up a frenzy. 

This torture went on for hours in broad daylight, in the scorching heat of April.”


I really some kind of a catastrophic event happens and kills each and every human being alive in this in-humane place.

  1. I sincerely agree with the comments. We, the people of Bengal are falsely proud of our cultural heritage. The politicization of West Bengal practically destroyed all the human values for which we were known in the past. Now we have become careless inhuman people.

  2. there is lot of difference between "educated" and "literate".....our schools are just the industries which are profit oriented and manufacturing literates.... so what type of society that we can expect...it is good that author as started with the number of educational institutions in the region which is really thought provoking and seeing the problem at the grass root level....kitty

  3. agree with the comment. incidents like this are not supposed to happen in an educated world. it is shameful to see a callous response from the authorities. i doubt if any action would be taken against the guilty. any action may anger some or the other vote bank. no wonder the writer is praying for a catastrophic event to destroy all those involved.
