I have been thinking about this a bit.
[0] covers it in more detail at the local level with a map of the places it has happened.
This is something which has been happening in India and is not limited to a particular state. There was a recent article about how the cops discovered one of the videos responsible for lynching to be fake and taken out of context of a NGOs promotional video. Makes me wonder the motives of persons involved - what do they gain by inciting this violence. These are not your vote banks. But considering its pan-India nature, this activity is somehow organized. This is not a law and order problem. In the sense that it is beyond that. Those who say it do not understand the scale of mobs in India. You cannot police this, especially in places where this is occurring. The police have been helpless, even threatened. The real problem is indeed the people of India. WhatsApp is just a medium - though it makes it very convenient. I would even say this outcome of whatsApp usage is inevitable in a country like India where you will find abundant people ready to go berserk and people who want to exploit it for no apparent reason. Frequent reading about this really makes me loose faith in humanity. I don't know how to change a billion people. [0] https://indianexpress.com/article/india/murderous-mob-lynchi... |
