Yogendra Yadav On Khaap Panchayats: Every community (caste, - TopicsExpress



          

Yogendra Yadav On Khaap Panchayats: Every community (caste, tribe, ethnic group) has its internal mechanisms for routine dispute resolution. Such communitarian systems are not only permissible but are healthy and indeed essential. Pushing any and every social dispute into courts of law is unhealthy, unaffordable and socially destructive. If this is what Khap Panchayats do and to the extent to which they do this, there is nothing wrong with Khap Panchayats or any other caste/community association. The trouble begins when this dispute resolution becomes coercive and violates the law of the land. This cannot be tolerated be it khap panchayat or SGPC or clerics and religious gurus issuing fatwas. The extreme form of this violation is of course “honour killing”. A murder is a murder
