NIDO TANIA

On January of 2014 I was in Delhi for my GATE exam and this unfortunate event happened, a student named Nido Tania from Arunachal Pradesh was murdered in Broad day light. It was said to be a racist attack. Following it there was widespread protest all over Delhi for long and social media uproared crying "Justice for Nido Tania".

I was in one of Candle march to show my solidarity for the cause, thinking this is the least i could do. Some Prof. from North East gave their speech at the end of march.  

And for the cause I with the help of few of my friend I did this piece of work. 

Some of my thoughts and idea on the unfortunate event.

That's me in picture.

On a second thought it's also very easy to label one incident with Racism or Hate crime, we should also take it with the perspective that it was a normal brawl between two people which led to unfortunate death of Nido Tania. But it's hard digesting, because only victims know how we are treated by mainlanders in our day to day life every now and then. Chinki, Chowmin and Nepali are few names we grow up with in Delhi, so much that I am deaf to this names.

Why, When and How we become animal or worse ????

                                   Why, When and How we become animal or worse ????

Forgive me for writing it up.

Sometime back perhaps few months I happened to watch accidently a video clip I recieved on Whatsapp, where a mob tortures and evetually burns a man alive and recently again I saw a clip in facebook of the same kind but here the victim was a woman. These videos were so disturbing that i had some difficulty with it. (emotionally and mentally)

And just the other day I was with some friends out and a person in maruti 800 was chased by Police vehicle and they eventually caught him. It seems while trying to escape he hit some car (but no caualties). The police caught him and immediately took him inside police car but in no time a mob sorrunded the police car and asked police to bring him outside. This mob was so furious and outraged that I saw a hint of the instincts that I saw in those video clips. If police would have let him outside I am not sure but the consequences seems to be very dangerous. Here among this mob ofcourse includes those people whose car were damaged but majority of them had no clue but curosity of what was happening. And we see such incidents many times in our life.

From this incident I could see police as an institution was key saving someones life (and similarly Judiciary as an institution).

I hope I have not drawn any conclusions here, ofcourse the perpertrator must be given strictest of punishment under the law and thorough investigation but we must let the established systems to act on rather than taking the law in our hands.

Ofcourse we all (or atleast I ) get curious on seeing such incident but we must think before we act.

P.S:  Any video of such if appears on any social networking site I think personally we should delete right then rather than sharing it. Its disturbing and I see no reason to share.
