We need to question ourselves, find answers and detox to humanise ourselves. And we need to do it quickly....This is the worrying malice I see in India today – a malice that will turn us all into murderous demons, not because each one of us will kill or act brutally but because most of us will remain unmoved by such acts....
Comment: on Whatsapp.. more than lament the morbid voyeurs, we have to incorporate into our strategy which includes a method which valourises those who do respond..
