Imagine a Sunday starting with the headline ”Acid attack accused shot dead”. Even as there are other stories like Mumbai attack and India’s retaliations to Pakistan’s Comments.,etc.
It may sound like a regular story, guy harassing an girl who didn’t accept his love and threatening to disfigure her and finally resorting to the extreme step of implementing what he threatened her.
While the Police can be appreciated for detaining the guy and his cohort company who accompanied him in this heinous crime, the good part of the story ends here.
The police encountering the criminals just because they have the support from few sections of the society who have hailed their decision is highly deplorable.
Are we clear on what is the differentiating line between Rage and Outrage. Expressing public anger over an issue and asking for a remedy for such issue that such things do not crop up in the future should amunt t Rage.
While there was a very good idea to come up with a special cell and a toll free number to register such complaints with a turn around time deadline may sound exciting the as usual suspicion of implementation of such initiatives stand out.
But Hailing such initiatives resorts to Outrageous decisions. At the end of day we live in a Society Damn it....what is it that we are trying to explain to our next generations by setting out such examples.
What is the thin line between expressing Rage and acting Outrageously???
