Dialogue Between Two Friends on Effects of Acid Throwing
Sami: Hello Ovi! How are you?
Ovi: I am fine. What about you?
Sami: I am fine too. But I am worried about the terrible increase of acid throwing incidence across the country.
Ovi: Yes, it has become a great menace in our country. I am also terribly concerned about it.
Sami: I can't imagine how people can become so barbarous and throw acid on their fellow human beings.
Ovi: And you might have noticed that it has entered into every stratum of the society.
Sami: What a dangerous decay of human values! Mostly the young girls are victims of acid throwing.
Ovi: You are right. In most cases a depraved young man throws acid at a young girl when she refuses to love. How cruel they are!
Sami: Yes. And the unfortunate victim lingers in anguish. It takes a long time to recover if she does not die. The damage is incurable.
Ovi: Right. The affected parts of the body become disfigured forever. In most cases these youths are one-sided lovers and dowry-hunter husbands.
Sami: There are also cases where personal enmity or disputes are the causes of acid throwing.
Ovi: Yes. But in any case, we can't sit idle. We have to do something to stop it.
Sami: Exactly! We should join the social activists to create public awareness against this barbarity.
Ovi: Yes, we should make the criminals understand that if anyone is found in such heinous acts, he would be awarded exemplary punishment.
Sami: Exactly! We should start a campaign soon. Let's sit together tomorrow and draw up a road map. Good bye now.
Ovi: I agree. Thank you.
