I watched The Dark Knight Rises over the weekend and thought
that I will write a blog about how marvelous the movie was and hoped to inject
some funny ideas that I had of my own but after watching the news recently, I
decided to do a 180 and write a serious post.
Recently in the news was how a minor in Guwahati was
molested by a mob of 14 (or 17 depending on which news outlet you follow) that was (allegedly) instigated by a member of a local
media group. His name is Gaurav Jyoti Neog. The photos of the
molesters were posted across the city and some of them were even arrested. The
ring-leader (Amar Jyoti Kalita) was still missing
until a few days ago and has been apprehended. Fucker had absconded to Varanasi . Probably to
wash his sins in the Ganga . The Assam police
have the fucking audacity to say that they cannot be at every place where a
crime is happening. Granted you cannot be at every goddamn place in the state
to establish Law and Order but at least be mindful of your statements and
choice of words and show some sympathy towards the victim and promise to bring
the molesters to justice. Even worse than the incident was how the identity of
the minor was revealed to the world by the Chief Minister's office. Have they
no shame!! Bloody bullshit. Heard that the instigator of the mob has turned
himself in. Middle-class India
hopes that justice will be done but middle-class India knows nothing substantial will come out.
In other news, a 19 year old girl in Karnataka was thrown
out of a moving train after being molested by a group of pathetic fucking
assholes. More sadly, the remaining travelers did not have the balls to stop
this atrocity from happening. Miraculously, the girl survived and a person on
the train had the presence of mind or social responsibility of calling the
police. The travelers (who watched the SHOW) did thrash the living daylights of
the youths who dared to impose their will on the girl. Little consolation, eh?
In the state of Assam (been in the news quite often
of late), there are riots on the streets as there are clashes between illegal
immigrants (mostly Muslims) and Bodos. 36 dead and thousands displaced. The
army is now in full force trying to stop the violence. What are we heading
towards? Doomsday couldn't come any sooner for India .
In Colorado ,
US, James E. Holmes, all of 24, opened fire at a movie theater screening The
Dark Knight Rises and promptly killed 12 people and injured 50+. Claims he is
The Joker from the Batman movies. What, that gives you the license to kill.
Bloody Motherfucker. He showed no remorse, no guilt and worst of all, no
humanity. Gun laws are pathetic in the US
and everyone who bears a firearm in the US , will cry about the right to
bear firearms as it is in the Constitution. This is the world we live in, where
even going to the movies will have to be considered 10 times before leaving
home.
There are many more such stories that break my heart and
compound the anger. But there is nothing that I can do (at least I feel
helpless that this is happening around me and around us). I wish there is some
sort of vigilante out there who has the skills, the resources and the
information to take out these offenders and give them the Batman treatment. Is
there a Bruce Wayne out there to don a mask and rid India 's
Gotham of the criminally insane and bring
justice and order to a democracy riddled with corruption, gundagiri, mob mentality and restore some order of lawfulness.
Batman, if you are reading this, your services are required
now more than ever. The Dark Knight
needs to rise again!!
