Happened to watch a video last night on the TV, which showed a Village Headman having to Catch his Ears and Do Sit-Ups, a Punishment commonly meted out to small boys in India.
The video showed a group of people in the background, and the TV was saying that this happened in view of the police. So, a 'public' Insult. The news was saying that this was a 'Ragging.'
The channel also mentioned that the person making this poor man do this was some high-up of the SP, the 'samaj-vadi party' of India. India has really numerous political parties, on the principle of 'the more the merrier!' ...Samaj means society, and samajvadi would mean 'Of the society, For the society,' etc. So this is how this party with such a wonderful name was treating a part of 'society,' an elected head of society.
This might be a very ugly thing, but certainly not the worst. Severely Beating up People, Kidnapping Wives and Daughters, and Killings are common happenings. We do not need the 'mafia' to do those things to us in India! political parties perform these 'services' for us.
These things will Stop ONLY if You and I raise up our voices. Please take the Simple step of giving a 'Like' to my Comment to this post, which shall say: If True, these sort of things Should Stop.
