Incident 2 : This may not be a single incident , but this is the almost regular killing of men - women - children , by a bunch of psychotic Kolkata bus drivers .
Incident 3 : .. well if you ask me the date and time when this happened .. or even the newspaper that reported it .. I wont be able to answer .. but .. trust me .. this happened sometime back , and it happens every alternate day in kolkata and elsewhere in the country . I think it was reported a few months back how a 22 year old girl was burned to death for falling in love with another guy ,despite being married !! ... it happend in the city ! and then there was this sick shop owner who attempted to rape a 9 year old gal !!!!
and now lets come to the latest issue ... the very hot "Rijwanur death ". I find everyday that someone says something about it ! Be it politicians (that's nothing new),writers, poets , artists, women right activists ,students... and the innumerable intellectuals of the city !!! They are staging dramas, painting graffitis,reciting poems and doing everything they can , to make sure that its recorded by the spice thirsty media !!! I feel disgusted to see this .. and in my perspective its "pseudo-intellectualism" .
I would like to ask those people, who are shouting now for rijwanur, where were they when all these above incidents took place !!!! where were you guys when a child was raped , a lady was tortured or even that girl was burnt ! What happend to your humane feelings then ????
So is it because Rijwanur case involves some glamor , a scandal involving a rich businessman , and the very spicy hindu-muslim marriage issue .. that you guys have suddenly become active !!
I sometime feel like deleting these bunch of pseudo intellectuals from the face of the city !!

In this world of ever increasing pressures and anxiety to earn the next day's food, tolerance is a word slowly being wiped away from the middle class citizen's mind. Slowly we are evolving into a race of intolerant, impatient and selfish "humans". I emphasize on the word selfish, because you can find a "self" behind every step you take, because as Darwin said, It is the survival of the fittest, and since we have long before exceeded the 'comfortable living permits' of our Mother Earth, we earn to prove ourselves fittest at every point, at whatever oppurtunity we get. Unfortunate but true, however, it may not be the problem only with Kolkata, its the problem with and problems arising due to our unplanned reproducibility.
I admit this is a valid question - where were these guys when a girl was raped, etc etc. But you know better late than never. I am still hopeful that indians are not fully deaf and mute till now. They want to protest, they can feel whts wrong and whts right. But they need someone to ignite their feelings. They need someone who can start the crusade and show them the path. And I think media can do that best. Anyways, lets not wonder where were these guys, rather lets encourage these people - this is not the end, but the beginning, this is the time to show we can protest, we can work together to make this world a little better place to live on.
