I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and yes you got it. This is really informative and I will for sure refer my friends the same.

Urbanization has dented our social support systems, making us dependent more on govt agencies rather than one another for our safety & security. Hence, this unfortunate incident once again highlights the remarkable collective failure of our systems. Had proper systems been in place, perhaps this unfortunate episode could have not occurred and a young woman with a promising career and bright future would have been alive today. While it has become fashionable to blame politicians for all our problems, I feel people are equally responsible for their plight. Why didn't the security agency do its duty of due diligence on the guard before hiring him ? Why didn't the housing society ensure that the CCTVs were functioning ? No politician was involved in such lapses, I presume. Also, blaming neighbors for their callousness is unfair, as the whole legal system has become so dysfunctional, that the witnesses go through an ordeal if they reach out to victims of crimes (even road rage, hit-and-run cases). The police and Courts should be sensitive to such situations and ensure that people come forward to help each other and the legal system to book criminals and also ensure they are punished severely to deter others. However, there are innumerable cases where the well-healed have been let off either due to police inaction &/ judicial insensitivity (the media has forgotten how Maria Susairaj was let off by the Courts on technicalities !). Hence, unless rule of law is followed in letter and spirit we will have to put up with avoidable crimes, be it such cases against hapless individuals, or mega-scams involving public servants (both netas & babus).Simple Indianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932573492158706438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128981159160729349.post-40129067956463157182012-08-19T16:03:07.940+05:302012-08-19T16:03:07.940+05:30Pallavi's murder is really tragic since it was...Pallavi's murder is really tragic since it was committed by someone employed to protect the residents. It is possible few, if any, would have opened the door while a gruesome murder was being committed but calling the police is no big deal & one can always do it from behind closed doors. The problem is that we have adopted the attitude of 'not getting involved', conveniently forgetting that we too can be at the receiving end some day!The author has rightly observed let none be in Pallavi's placew ho fought valiantly and alone to save her life & honor!

I always told all my friends that I preferred independent houses in Bangalore, some questionned my sanity saying that gated communities offer superior security and safety. I lived in both gated communities and independent houses over the year. It never failed getting whatever help I needed was always far easier in a house than it was in a an apartment building. In the one I currently live in here in Mumbai I know none of my neighbour, I've been living here for a year and the only friends I have are the moms of the other kids going to my daughter's school, nobody at the playground approached me with friendly talk or even responded to my attempt to make small talk. Have we all become so stressed out and in a hurry that we can't say hello to one another?

We daily hear about gang rapes and murders in broad day lights and in the presence of a mute sizeable crowds who just watch the scenes and disperse. According to my perception it is on account of the following reasons:<br /> <br />1) The culprit is assured of acquittal or minimum punishment, if at all he is apprehended.<br />2) The onlookers even in some cases may be ready to give evidence or deterred by the crude & brute behaviour of Police and are not afforded any protection from criminals; and<br />3) Only laws cannot prevent these incidents. There is an express need for moral education at home & educational institutions.O P Tandonhttp://www.optandon.blogspot.innoreply@blogger.com
