India, Human Rights and Bihar incident

1) Go to www.youtube.com
2) in search box, type the following phrase - bihar thief beating
3) click and watch the video.
4) Are you agitated? (or) are you happy that the thief got the punishment? Do you think he deserves it? What if he died? Would it have been covered up? or would it have been exposed? How many such incidents are happening everyday in India? who is responsible? Does anyone care?
5) Ask yourself the question -- what does this video say about India to the UN? What does it say to the world about us?
6) Go to http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html and read Article 5 loud ten times. Understand what it means when it starts with "No one".

Bottomline -- We can publish videos of AR Rahman and other artistes performing "Jana Gana Mana". We can say "India Shining". The former president can speak about "Superpower 2020". But if we as a nation allow these barbaric acts from the very people who are supposed to protect the law and to serve, you fill in the blanks..

With Regrets for a great nation having such irrational people
