Mob strips girl in Guwahati: July 2012





Appalled
 is the word I would use to describe my initial reaction.Shocked and disgusted I am, to see young indians degrade themselves to a level where they have lost cognizance of all sense of morality and fear. 

Why did this happen?
Why did the onlookers not gather and stop this heinous incident?
Was it shock-and-awe which freezed them or were they 'enjoying' the scene which went on for a full 30 minutes?
Never again shall a girl in Guwahati feel safe to venture out. And, I ask, what is the guarantee that such an incident will not happen in other cities?
This is a literal strip-down of the moral fabric of society, laying bare the scared and helpless indian woman. Authorities, police, law, punishment will follow.

Is this the India we will allow to turn into?
Even if one person had tried to stop this, I am sure that other like-minded people would have stepped in, to save the day. But the question is, who is that person?
And why did he not take the first step? Is being at the receiving end of a couple of punches not better than watching a girl being stripped right in front of your eyes?
Onlookers, will you bastards be able to sleep peacefully, knowing that you could have prevented this? We don't need heroes, all we require is people with a conscience which is alive and kicking.
But, the slap-in-your-face questions are:
Is this what free men have come to?
Is this the way women will continue to suffer?
Is this the India we know?

Share this, if you feel that this will be an eye-opener for even one person with a conscience, who will take the right step forward, to prevent a repeat of this incident.
