Ethnic Cleansing in Family

A young girl in her growing years have to deal with a sharp and bitter truth about her mother's death. The truth being told in the court in Fulton Country, Georgia.

Analla was an infant when a brutal contract killing took away her nearest and the dearest one, her mother. The contract killing was ordered by none other than her paternal grandfather who is ethnically Indian and could not see eye to eye with this black 22 year old woman that his son married.

Chiman Rai is the accused in this contract killing, who has been a grocerer in the neighbouring state of Missisippi. He claims his hatred for racism and shuns the accusations that he ordered his daughter in laws killing out of hatred for blacks.

The thought is not well perceived by Analla's maternal grand parents and neither by the Black or Indian community in Atlanta. A 65 year old man with past deeds of ehtnic cleansing should be bought to justice in the court of law so that many other Analla's don't have to face the memories of a gruesome death met by her mother.

Indian American Dream

Karthik Rajaram, a financial company owner and a family man with three kids a wife gunned down the family and then surrendered himself to the wallows of death at his own hands at a time when most of us were having our dinner.

What followed was a stream of questions which will remain un-answered forever. The lives of those school and college going kids were smashed under the father's financial worries. A claim to his unstability and reliability was made by one of his ex-supervisors in a financial company. How much ever unstable he was does killing 5 (+ the mother-in-law) innocent lives in cold blood justify his mental illness.

Under the beautiful draperies of silk and richness lives the dreaded evil...the one which thrives on worries and fretting.
