Images that while remaining within the news cycle also, in many ways, went far beyond them. The images that you see in this essay are the result of several such coincidences.바카라 웹사이트
At the spot itself, where four farmers were mowed down by a car on바카라 웹사이트October 3, we found a forensic lab team meticulously combing the area, collecting evidence. Standing right there you couldn’t tell that this was the very place where so many lives were lost that day. Tikonia village of Lakhimpur Kheri felt eerily calm. That was owing maybe to the fact that the victims of violence, such as the Sikh man who came here all the way from Bahraich, lived far away.바카라 웹사이트So an outsider, such as me, did not sense any palpable rage on the ground.바카라 웹사이트

But I did find a deep sense of loss.바카라 웹사이트When I saw the young son of the journalist, Raman Kashyap, who was also killed in the violence, it was difficult to imagine how he would reconcile to the loss of his father. Kashyap라이브 바카라 son still believes the last words of his father, that he has gone out to buy samosas for him. Just as we were preparing to leave Kashyap라이브 바카라 house a senior official came to hand over the cheque of compensation, that the state government had issued, for his wife.

The house of Union Minister Ajay Mishra, whose son Ashish Mishra is the main accused in the murder of four farmers and a journalist, is a short drive away from Tikonia village. While we couldn’t find anyone inside the house, Ashish Mishra seemed to be omnipresent in his neighbourhood which was inundated by hundreds of election banners and hoardings bearing his name and photo. It felt like the assembly polls were days not weeks away.바카라 웹사이트
