oh shut up about how it's a desi thing. you do realise this is your family? maybe it's genetic and you don't know it yet, *******.

of course its genetic, these people are completly insane, i dont deny that, but they also follow thier culture to the letter. they hate religion and believe that culture is everything. and this type of incest is far more common among fobs than you think. like i said, i dont understand fobs, they remind me of that old tv show, 'third rock from the sun' like aliens from another planet, the most sickest, the most weirdest, insane, craziest people to walk the face of the earth.

Incest leads to 'death', brother jailed

PATNA: Pregnant with the child of her own brother, Sarita breathed her last a few days ago. Accused of incest with Sarita, Amarjeet was sent to jail on Wednesday. So was Amarjeet's another brother, Deepu. But the Patna police are yet to arrest Sarita's parents who too, along with everyone else of the family, appear to have conspired against the 17-year-old wronged girl leading to her mysterious death.

Sarita, daughter of a farmer of Mohiuddinpur, around 30 km from Patna, died on August 17. Before her death, she had sent an SOS to Bihar government's Helpline, accusing her brother, Amarjeet, of repeatedly raping her. While pleading that she be rescued, the distressed girl had also informed the Helpline that she was pregnant.

"...Ek to bhai awara nikala jo apni behen ko bhi nahin pehchanta aur tum halla karogi to humlog ki izzat chali jayegi; thora din aur bardasht karo; shaadi kar denge, sab thik ho jayega (the brother has already turned a delinquent who doesn't recognise his sister but if you make it public it will bring disgrace on the family; wait for some time and we will marry you off)," Sarita's letter quoted her mother as consoling her.

"Fact is, my father, mother and brothers have plotted to kill me now," Sarita wrote, fearing her letter, being sent through a friend, may reach the Helpline too late.

Tragically, Sarita's fears proved right. The letter could be dispatched by her friend only on August 27, ten days after Sarita had been allegedly killed. It reached its destination on August 28 and the Helpline's project manager Priyanka Gupta reached the village on August 30, the Raksha Bandhan day when sisters tie "rakhis" around the wrists of their brothers who in turn vow to protect them.

Ironically, Gupta found Sarita's "protector" had already proved her predator. "Her family members first told us Sarita was at her maternal uncle's place. Later, they admitted she has died. One said she died of diarrhoea. Another said she died after vomiting blood," Gupta recalled, adding she then informed the police.

Sarita's brother might not have inculcated family values. Sarita had. Her letter's last line read, "if you get this letter after my death, please do not harass my parents."

But the police won't heed Sarita. "We are looking for her parents who are absconding," Patna SP (rural) G P Sinha told TOI on Wednesday. The police have recovered a notebook of Sarita. "The handwriting in it prima facie tallies with that in Sarita's letter to Helpline," Sinha said, adding the police are waiting for a report from forensic science laboratory on it. The police are also trying to locate the person who posted Sarita's letter from the Fatuha post office.

"One thing is clear: That Sarita was murdered to save the family from the disgrace the teenager's tragic tale, if made public, would have brought on it," Helpline's Gupta said.
