On the Delhi gangrape case
On the Delhi gangrape case As the victim of the gangrape has now been laid to rest there are many things that come to my mind about how the government bungled. First of all it seems to have absolutely no idea on how to handle flash mobs. This was evident from the Anna Hazare fast. But surprisingly no one in power thought of putting together a team to find a resolution on how to combat flash mobs. In case of the people coming on streets to show solidarity to the gang rape victim as well as express frustration on the government’s ineptness, there was no one in the ruling class willing to come forward to address the crowd. It was surprising to see the ruling class’s complete disengagement with people’s concerns. The government thought it could sabotage these protests the way killed the Anna Hazare agitation. They failed to understand that the common man who was earlier a bystander is now ready to come on the streets and is ready take a beating to effect change in this country.
