Dear Chandra

You forgot give links to the news items coming in air regarding hundreds of honour killings in india. Problably they are a bit unpalatable ... as they do not contain any muslim sounding names. If haven't seen them as you might be reading news selectively with yellow eye, please go through the link below.
