Hog-tied!

The picture of hog tied dead body of a Maoist young girl killed in encounter with the joint forces in Jangalmahal being carried by two Jwans shown in media looked most distressing and inhuman. It looked like a prize kill being boastfully carried and displayed way back from hunting game. In the first place, media should avoid exhibiting such sickly scenario, may it be a stark reality, as it adversely affects any sensitive mind. Secondly, minimum respect should be shown to a dead person, however deadly he/she was when alive.Unfortunately,the dead bodies of the accident victims particularly the unclaimed ones are also carried more or less this ugly way. It’s a common sight dead bodies wrapped with polythene and tied with a bamboo pole are carried in full view of public Here difference between animal body and human body is totally obliterated. Truly, death is a great leveller.
