CULTURE: ...Both Alike in Dignity...

Two women in India, a school teacher and a college student, fell in love. The teacher, 21-year-old Ranu Mishra, was going to be married off by her parents because of the relationship with Neetu Singh, 19. They decided to commit suicide instead of living a life apart. After swallowing sulphas tablets, one has died and the other is in intensive care.

Isn't it also a non-violent protest? I wonder if they face a civilized opppnent?

very sad.

wow.

Very sad

...romeo and juliet...are together in eternity...

I'd probably rather try to flee the country than suicide.

this is such a tragic waste of life youth and love
and all because of some insignificant and utterly dumbfounding ignorant moral/legal code?
ugh.

please world. let people be free to live and love whomever however. we have enough problems as is.

i couldn't have said it better, yuri.

I agree, Yuri put it simply and eloquently. Such tradgedy.

How sad.

i've heard that you can tell the substance of someone by what they would die for...
;(
it's a damn damn shame.

Death is so final. Love, even impossible love, unconsumated, unrecognized love, even, perhaps, unrequited love (which this was not) is better kept alive isn't it?

Damn fucking right!
This post overflows with wisdom.

Next time your about to tell someone you love them, ask youself if you would give them the last life vest knowing you'd drown without it.
