Our logic

Following the alleged insult of a statue of B. R. Ambedkar, riots started in almost all Parts of Maharashtra and by the time I checked the news the tally was 3 people dead, 60 injured.

 

So, it's a well established fact now, that concrete statues are much more valuable than living flesh-and-blood people. At least in India.

I find it ironical that the same people, Ambedkar, Jinnah, Gandhi, who worked all their life to erase the boundaries and bring people closer, are being used as an excuse to tear people apart, to incite violence, to kill people, to rob cities, to burn trains and create mayhem.

 

As Indians all we care about is temples, mosques, statues and certain selected animals. What happens to the little kid who loses his mother in the mindless violence, nobody gives a shit.

 

And then we wonder why we are not the superpower?
