Yesterday I happened to see this video of a 6 year old being man-handled by few U.P Policemen. What baffled me is that not one among them was sensitive to the cries of the child. Here, on one hand we are fighting terrorism which we think is waged by outsiders and we show zero tolerance, on the the other we completely ignore the terrorism and atrocities growing within our system, executed/encouraged by our own people and tolerated by most of us.
We have all come to a stage when these incidents, pictures, videos hardly move us. Most of us behave like zombies watching these scenes as if it is a movie. We discuss, call few experts who give their reviews. We end the discussion by blaming system, Leadership etc and show our inability to deal with such situations.
I wish we had just one person in this country who will rise from the ashes like the Mahatma, wake us all up from our Zombie state and encourage us to protest openly and loudly. IT is a shame that with so many educated Indians, this country still has not learnt to treat a child like a child. What progress are these Leaders talking about ? Shame on all of us....
