http://ibnlive.in.com/news/techie-father-throws-newborn-daughter-into-well/87631-3.html?from=search

This (Source: CNN-IBN) piece of news I read over the weekend is disturbing. The alleged father is apparently a gold medallist from a leading Indian University, and two years older than me. He married someone 7 years younger, also a software engineer, and then went on to get her pregnant.

Just 4 days after the baby girl was born, he threw her into the well and killed her, apparently to make his point, rather explicitly, about not getting enough attention from the wife. Lame? Hang on.

The family now alleges there was dowry harassment. He claims he is insane. Of course he is!
Sooner or later, am sure we will hear female infanticide. In any case, infanticide is the only charge they can really book him under right now.

This may well be a one-off, but it angers me. There is more to education than a well-earned technical degree. The experience hopefully makes us more mature, and able to make more sound decisions. He was 29 freaking years old, in a good job, and with access to all the support that the modern world provides. No good came of all that.
