Understanding socio-cultural dynamics of Sindhi society through Tanya khaskheli's murder case
1. Assignment topic. .
Understandingsocio-cultural dynamicsof Sindhi society,through Tanya khaskheli brutal murder case.
Introduction. .
In Sindhi society women is a factor of norms due to the feudal mindset.Power are in the hand of maleso how
we can stop the women oppression and the crucial factor of women’s likesubordination..This caseis revolve
around the feudal system, as an anthropology student, I see through Marxistfeminism.The emergence of
capitalism,production and privateproperty and this continued oppression of women. Women have no social
power of political and economic hurdles thatrisegender discrimination.Socio-economic structures of our
sindhi societies,patriarchal institution and practicesas well as theoverall super structure, that further
reinforcethe institution of inequality.so thatthe murder of Tanya khaskheli is nota new for them, murderer
enjoyinghis lifefor being man, who hold the licenseto murder women, every system of the world has gone
through a slowbut steady evolutionary process,with the passageof time, but in Pakistan no revolution for
women in this so called menfolk society. .
Background. .
This innocent girl is belongto Dadu.This is the new victimof our feudal system. She was livein mainstream
society.All she did, was to refuse to marry feudal lord of jhangar bajara town.This feudal lord has ego could
not handlethe refusal,which he get from the women. He thought the only way to handlethis situation was to
gather his armed associates and kill her,which he did.Because as a feudal. .this is the war between the honour
and ego. .
Literature review. .
Feudalismas a term of the pastbut in our society, its reality thatit’s actively happening.These feudal lords
residingin the rural areas deny girls education and subordination.According to the socio economic
stratification (class structure),we women call changein the system of production to social classes which are
based on exploitation by another. There are several girls likeTanya which were killed,there areseveral women
act but being a women we have shackles of cultural norms and valuein our feet. If there are hundred
movements for women subjugation butresultzero. Because the movement was faced patriarchy in the form
of bureaucracies,government and feudal tribal capitalistso how we succeeded. If the laws may implemented
in forwarded ways So women are in the competitive rolein our social structure,is this can behappen no
because they think that these arebeing threat to their monopoly, as a feudal.Women education give the
challengingfor them. The women education arejustified in the frame work of cultural or religious ways,to
preserve their cultural values in theform of women. .Disgusting!About to read all reviews my argument is that
feudalismhas strongin our society rather than the murder of this girl.Becauseafter some months this lineis
common in our societies aboutthe case` `whatever happens, happen for the best’ ’because our silenced on
these to keep feudal lord safe.because the feudal has linked with policeand handlethis casethrough their
spectacles,very hard to abolish this practice becausemany of parliamentarianscomefrom feudal background
then how they help the victim..Incident highlighted the careless and unprofessional attitudeof local police.
Theoretical discussion..
Feministtheories includediscrimination and exclusion on the basis of sex and gender, structural and economic
inequality,power, oppression and gender roles and stereotypes among other.
In our society where the girl killed in frontof her parents,how system of power likefeudalismcan oppressed
any other by class stratification.This istheinferiority of men over women becausein our society man born
with the socialization of masculinepower, then how they treat with women in equality base,these dynamics
show women into the private sphere likehouse.so in our rural areas there aremajority of family is based on
capitalistsystem,where women at home and men for work. Where women’s killed by their choice, we say it
illegal butitstill a partof most legal system in our rural area and demolish this practiceis themiraclefor us.
.which cannot. And Tanya is also theinhabitantof this area then how she save from this system. .?
2. Findingand analysis..
I conducted the interview from Sir Haider Ali Memon a criminologist..there views are impactful for my
questionnaire...Answers are below!
Such murders reflects the socio-cultural mind-setof our rural settings specifically and urban areas
particularly.Such violentkillings areregularly justified on the basis of honour,respect, enmity and
jealousy.
Rural cultural directly support violence,especially violenceagainstwomen and children..
Feudalismis alwaysbeen top problem of our rural society when comes to supress ,crush and
humiliatewomen, sad that Tanya also the victimof them. .
Perception is samethat whenever come to accused as influential,our criminal justicesystemfailed to
address issue,hence offender always get benefit of doubt.
State is having’s almostevery good laws regardingwomen protection and justice,implement is bad
justbecauseof we have get one of the world’s worst system most criminal justice
Our police mainly is politicised,also somefeudal mind-set arerulingas related ministers
controlling,transfer,postingand appointed of police official,policeneed to be autonomous and
depoliticised.
This only reflects some socio-cultural mind thatwomen has no rightof education hence if she to go
for this sheis subjectto cruelly different, this is major discriminatingpoint..
Our cultural and socio structurealready defined roleof genders. Women has been role restricted to
home and child care,anythingfrom this is considered highly immoral by society,creating ban,barrier
and punishment
Conclusion..
Throughout I understand such things like we livein nuclear power, a developingeconomy and a democratic
state, but girls likeTanya khaskheli arethe victimized in 21 century where all countries need inteacuall person
without gender inequality for the challengingof work but we killed them and my opinion feminists movements
belong to the developed or advance community, no existence in primitivesocieties,men encourage women
involvement in politicsfor religiousand national causes? Notfor women own rights..
The simpleopinion of mine, the seed which we drill in our society areof patriarchy and capitalism? Then how
the crop are grow without feudalismand in favour of women?
And the justicefor Tanya is far from our radius..
