The Bystander


I hate the idea of arm-chair activism but I have to get this off my chest: If we reach a point where an underage girl can be molested on a busy open highway, by some 30 odd men who feel no fear or shame at the sight of an accompanying camera, nor does the cameraman feel he can take any action to stop them... then the fault can't possibly lie with one man or even thirty. Somewhere, in some capacity, the fault lies with all of us. 
As a society, we have failed.

  2. exactly, we create them.  our society breeds these people because we ignore those small little alarms which we get.  and it will never stop.  i am sure, right now there are thousands of 'so called' educated people watching that video again and again.

  4. I know, it's a depressing spiral. And it's especially shocking because I've been arguing with GIRLS my age who say "They had it coming". Kind of makes you want to lose hope.

  5. Indian society has totally failed in this respect.... I agree. People here abuse and molest in the name of "Indian culture" and "Indian values". Sick.
