My opinion on Manju

What happened was definitely sad; this is the second time that an incident like this has got widespread media response.
It is absolutely true that the incidents of murders of Manjunath (Indian oil) and Satyendra Dubey (Golden Quad) have created so much noise because they are from the IIT's and the IIM's. Incidents like this do not occur often, when educated people are brutally murdered for believing in what they thought was right.


Opinion 1:
This is similar to BW's case study. We must definitely make a big deal out of this situation and bring awareness among people by bringing to light the atrocities that go on; either in secret or out in the open as in this case.
We should not just be sorry about the situation and the state of affairs in India, and give the naive "Time will heal us" bullshit. It is high time that we woke up to reality and act, instead of think.
As BW says, Indians are great thinkers, but a very few of them have the courage or the determination to act. "They have thought of the idea right?, it's for the Government to implement it now". Like that is going to happen!!
This endless cycle of shifting blame onto the Government should stop. We need to facilitate the country in helping find criminals of the system.
The problem of course occurs when the system itself has an ugly side to it. Though I do not have a concrete solution for this now, I'm hoping it will surface soon.

Opinion 2:
Is this the first time that injustice like this has been meted out. Definitely not, this has been going on for a long time. This time it's an IIM grad, next time it could just be a poor villager. The poor villager incident will never get the recognition even remotely similar to this, even with the media knowing about the same. Why? Because that doesn't sell, murder of an IIM grad, oh hell yea, there is so much noise, people in anguish everywhere on how such incidents occur to the "upper class".
What needs to be changed is our mindset, we are all the same, let it be an IIT/IIM or a remote college form any village.
