This incident is all over the news, social networking websites, personal and professional blogs of Indians all over the world. People are very agitated and want to express themselves. Everyone seems to be seeking and sharing opinions of what they feel is the right thing to do.
On a normal day, I would have been one of these people.Typically, I feel like I know what should be done to the miscreants. But this time, I haven't formed an opinion yet. And I probably won't till I find the right answer.
My first reaction was to be angry, then sad and then eventually feel helpless. And since then I have been wondering what the solution to such a problem is. What is a good short-term solution and what is a good long term solution?
People have suggested many ways to tackle this issue. Some are angry and suggest punishment. Some are more patient with their approach and hope that education will change things. Some have lost hope, some have lost faith.
The human society is a really complex group. In the animal kingdom, if someone attacks you, your best bets are the following - defend, attack or run for your life. You don't wait for justice to happen to you. Life is not as simple as that in our society. And it is very difficult for me to understand right now.
And that is why I feel like there is no right answer or that all answers are right answers. Or may be there is one, and we are still searching for it.
