When nature wreakes havoc, she does not die after seeing religion or gender. But when bigotry dominates humanity, then earthquake causes more dangerous destruction. After the recent devastating earthquake in Afghanistan, a truth has come to light, which will tremble the soul of any human being.
Among the thousands of lives in the debris pile, many women were buried alive just because the cruel rules of the Taliban did not allow any non-men to touch or save them.
When the law of ‘curtain’ grew older than life
After the earthquake, when there was a shouts all around, the male rescures were taking out the people buried under the rubble. There were sounds of screams and crying to help women buried from many places. But the Taliban fighters stopped those rescuers saying that they could not touch any ‘stranger’ woman.
Think that helplessness of that helplessness … On one side a woman buried in the rubble is fighting for breath, and on the other side, men standing at a few feet away are unable to save him just because a staunch law is coming in their ways. She kept screaming for help, and the male rescuers kept listening to helplessness, until their voices were calm forever.
Far away from alive, it was also a crime to touch the dead
Humanity was so dead that even after alive, no non-men were allowed to touch their bodies even after death. The bodies of women remained in the rubble for several days, as no female rescuers were present to take them out.
According to this inhuman and absurd law of the Taliban, no woman can come in front of a man or touch him who is not a close relative (Maharam). This one rule took more lives than the earthquake.
This incident is not just a natural disaster, it is a mass murder by an ideology. This shows us that when bigotry dominates, there is no cost of life. These women from Afghanistan did not die of earthquake, they were killed by the Taliban’s thinking, for which a woman has more valuable curtains than her life, even if she is the shroud.
