…Shame.Shame on us. On our silence. Shame on the media.On the police. On UP. On our State.
This event surprisingly does’nt find coverage in the news, because the journalists are too busy blaring accounts of terrorrism. None of this surprisingly qualifies as terrorism.
Really shameful. But I dont understand why should Police, media and UP govt. only should feel ashamed. It is the whole sole responsibility of the society and the society only. By draging police and govt. we are try to follow the simple rule that it is only the government machinery which is responsible. Why not to write some thing about the social conditions so that the persons even with the slightest sympathy for such offenders start thinking that this is wrong.
Remember Rome was not built in a day by any authority.

Karnail is right, the govt. can’t take sole responsibility. Shravasti; wow, that is one of the historic Buddhist pilgrimage places.
India and Indian media are always more fond of looking for demons “outside” (terrorists) than looking at the evil within. I suppose we all are (it’s a human tendency), but here it seems to have been raised to an art form.

Karnail, the State is responsible for the well-being of its people.
There has to be an authority to take charge and execute the law.
Horrible!!!!! This is a serious, realy serious indictment on the entire hindu faith and the supposed secularity and tolerance spirit of India. Is this what we have stooped to?
It is a travesty that amidst this whole hoo-haa of india shining, economic rollercoaster that is the indian metropolitan city……the rural sector is being so pathetically ignored, commercially, economically, politically, socially.
