Doctor ‘not treating’ expected mother 

What circumstances have led to such a vengeance and miserable action? My mind tried to figure out the answer for what I witnessed in the news scrolling down to the bottom. In bold letters it was written ‘Baby dies after doctor allegedly refused to treat pregnant Muslim woman’. How can the religion decide the life of an innocent unborn? How far has the thirst for revenge gone to have led to such a heart-wrenching incident? Aren’t doctors suppose to be the spirits of God?

The very incident occurred in a village in Rajasthan. The doctor allegedly refused to treat a pregnant woman who was expecting sooner. In the name of religion, the spiteful act was allegedly conducted.

Her fault? Being a Muslim? Expecting a baby? Or the baby’s faith of coming to this world with a specific religion that needs to be punished for some phobia that has crawled in the minds of every other humans on this land?
