Walt is saddened -- truly -- to pass along some news from Mississauga, a bedroom community at the west end of the Greater [sic] Toronto Area. Today, a Mississauga mom was charged with murder in last fall's "previously unexplained" death of her three-year-old daughter.
Those who know the ethnic makeup of Mississauga have already jumped to a conclusion. Not too far to jump, nor without reason.
35-year-old Nandini Jha brought her daughter, Niyati, in to a Mississauga medical clinic on 20 September 2011. The child was immediately sent to Toronto's renowned Sick Children's Hospital, where she died the next day of head and brain injuries.
Niyati was the second daughter born to Nandini, who, with her husband and the two girls, arrived in Canada in 2010. At the time of Niyati's death, her mother was expecting a third child, which turned out to be another girl. The whereabouts of the two surviving daughters has not been disclosed.
Oh... yes... the Jhas immigrated from India.
Why am I telling you this? Since someone has already asked, let me explainly, quickly and bluntly. The point is that in Indian culture, girl children are not valued. And just because Indians migrate to a country and culture where killing little girls is regarded as barbaric does not mean that they will change their culture. That's it.
