They work...sure they do...in putting public pressure. But they come too late. And then, for many they are nothing more than photo opportunities. We need these vigils when the crime is being perpetrated. That is, if it is well understood who the criminal is and upon whom the crime is being perpetrated. Otherwise, we can have mayhem. Remember the Delhi school teacher, who was publicly humiliated, her clothes torn, her reputation tattered? She was torn to shreds by the same people who light candles. Instant vigilante justice! One couldn't have said it better. We need more of Anuradha kinds...that's what we need.<br />I would have liked you to also explore the role of the media in this, if you think it is relevant.Sunil Varmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065600006207882777noreply@blogger.com
