After about nine months, police have caught the killers. At one point the investigation had come to a standstill. We put pressure on the police, and I am glad they have cracked the case. The family kept up the pressure so that thinkers could speak without fear. Indoctrination of young people is bringing a bad name to Hinduism.

From what I know, Hinduism is not about bloodshed or killing. It is about peace, ahimsa and tolerance. I believe in Mahatma Gandhi’s Hinduism. 

My father taught me that freedom of expression is a basic right. But in the same vein, I would say one should be sensitive when speaking about caste and religion in India.

One should not celebrate by insulting others. I miss Gauri. Even though we had our differences, she respected me as a brother. I liked her personality because she stood by what she thought was right. We all lived separately, but we would regularly get together for family events. We are a close-knit family.
