Plural of criminal = Guardian of culture
People who beat up other people without provocation react to some other people sending them underwear with “This is not the way. They could have discussed this with us peacefully across a table”.
People who beat up people based on their state of origin, their religion and caste, file a defamation case against someone who expressed their opinion on this. And the judiciary does not help our young victim.
If Veerappan was alive today, maybe he would’ve sued the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka police for chasing him around and causing him mental trouble - the police should’ve done a round-table meeting with him trying to “sort out” the differences they had with him.
Maybe Charles Shobhraj can sue the Interpol for being insensitive to his freedom needs, and demand that they discuss things out with him in an amicable setting.
But do you know why that will not work? Because in Amit Varma’s words “Mobs are above the law”. Groups involved in criminal activities today are not criminal in themselves - they are guardians of culture and representatives of aam junta.
Maybe Gabbar Singh would have stood a chance of going free, joining politics and putting Thakur behind bars (for having caused him irreconcilable trauma) if his gang would have protested for his release in front of our Supreme Court, stating that the gang was a social activity group which was protecting the Ramgadhwasis from a big calamity: Gabbar Singh’s rage.
That could be the plot for a new Sholay.

hmmmmm....nice post hypnos...infact shoba de's column in last edition of the week was also the same, only that you were more polished in ur words ;) definitely cant take away the "mob" culture....and i for one believe, it easy to gather a mob for any damn reason, in india, for it gives them a sense of identity!
