Why would a pair of sisters choose self-imposed confinement?
Why would they choose to live away from the society?
Yes! I agree people in a locality might not be the bestest you might have ever met in the world but, self-imposed confinement! Doesn’t seem fair to me, even if they did it to themselves and for whatever reasons!
Many people have to face death of a loved one in their lifetime, hey! There is going to be someone in your life older than you are, and everyone has a limited life span only! You become sad, you cry inconsolably, you lose hope; but all for some time, not forever.
A happy family; 2 cheerful sisters don’t turn out to be Psychotic over a short span of 7 months. It’s not like there’s was the only family who lost a father and a mother within a very short span of time!
And final nail to the coffin as death of a pet dog :O whatever newspapers! You can love a dog, you can cry over its death, but turning yourself to unhygienic zombies because of that! Not quite the reasoning I doubt!
If you think I am mocking them for the behaviour they showed, and how they were found; think again. No I don’t mock them, I could never. They say “No one ever cared. Instead of helping, people mocked.” People are cruel, can be super cruel I agree to that. But I am not trying to be cruel or make mockery right now!
When I read the title to the next article ‘Magisterial probe ordered; NCW seeks report on sisters‘ I didn’t read it, didn’t give it a single thought, thinking why do they need to do something like this. They decided to not come in contact with the cruel society, and they had their own way of making that happen!
But as the rest of the day unfolded, I had another view on it! Though I didn’t read it, but I think a probe on why the sisters did what they did is important, VERY IMPORTANT. My take is people cry over loss of loved ones, people love their pets as a family member & its loss could equate a loss of family member to them; but this self-imposed confinement without lightening even a bulb since November 2010, that’s not depression due to loss of family members/loved ones.
Something of such intensity, Something so large, Something which made the sisters do what they did for so long; it can’t be mere depression due to loss; has to be something big!
I say if Magistrate can’t find the reason to it, they ask people higher up to find an answer to it!
GoD BLeSS Anuradha and Sonali. May Anuradha’s soul rest in peace; and May GOD give Sonali the power to come recover and come to terms with loss of another loved one!

Chords Of Life 
What is the point that your are trying to make? If you are asking why these two sisters imposed self confinement then the answer is they were dealing with mental health issues and they did not receive much needed professional help. If you are asking why they took it so hard the loss of parents and a pet; then the answer is everyone handles grief and sorrow differently and most of all early childhood experiences cement our future and how we’ll deal with life.

I agree with you.!
My point is why they took it so hard the loss? Right, everyone handles grief in their own way! But my thought is, there must have been more factors involved in the level of depression the sisters went through!
I don’t know what it could have been. I can’t image what they went through! But I just hope the younger one gets all better!
Mental health issues are complex.
Loss and grief are complicated with mental health issues. In this video one of the sister is talking about black magic and being targeted. These are part of paranoia and mental health impairment. Here is a wonderful link to learn more about the mental health http://www.nimh.nih.gov/index.shtml
