Barbaric, Inhumane Behaviour

The recent events of harassment/violence meted out to Smalin Jenita and the tribal lady in Assam is downright shocking. A mark of how civilised a society is seen by the way it treats its women and children. On that yardstick, we still have a long way to go.

The most shocking part, or may I say, its not shocking anymore, is the fact that the perpetrators in both cases were 'educated' men. Smalin's husband is employed at Infosys and the barbarians who struck the tribal lady were led by a local businessman.

Both need to be punished, pronto!
