Recently a dentist at Delhi had an argument with a motorcycle rider for having driven rashly and had brushed
his 8 year old son. The rider and the pillion fled the scene only to return
back with their friends and family members from nearby settlement, a mob of
over 10 persons armed with hockey sticks and iron rods. They dragged the
dentist out of his house and beat him mercilessly to death and also beat up
family member who tried to intervene. This is not an isolated incident and similar
instances of rage is being seen all over India past few years and even few other countries and it makes me
wonder as to why so much pent up rage prevails in people these days. May be it
is the frustrations in their personal lives and this is being vented out in
form of violence. Do they repent their actions after such incidents?? Not
everyone do I suppose and the reason I believe is that they are under the
impression that there would be minimal if not no actions against them by the
law. Why is this?? Well in some cases political parties in the opposition
support these persons and they ensure that fancy and high priced lawyers are
engaged to prove the guilty persons as innocent, some of them are powerful
themselves because of their wealth and connections. Generally it the persons
without any money or backing are the ones those are convicted in the event they
partake in such activities.
Average middle class Indians have
to be very tolerant in this country …. Tolerance or intolerance is not related to
just religion as one might think due to the recent furor on the social media
and other forms of media. What I meant is that an average Indian would have
to apologies and move away even though he is not at fault for any minor
accidents on roads or arguments with strangers and so forth. Not moving away
and trying to think that law is on his side and arguing may lead to his beating
by the other party like the case of the dentist.
This not how a civilized
society lives… but then this is how it is these days.Take care friends !!!
