Hi everyone.
These are my views, but the problem in India is not the cows on the roads - it's these people. These silent spectators and bystanders.
I've seen too many news articles about people being harrassed by drivers, women getting attacked in ATMs, women getting eve teased , and I can only ask where were the people?
Crowds will gather and watch at times, but no one steps forward to help.
I am not saying this phenomenon happens only in India, but since I've been only here, my views are limited to this country. (but if it happens in any other country, I would want to know)
I understand the reasons why someone would not want to step forward and help someone over here too.
Bureaucratic tangles, police reports and questionings, court meetings - who would want to get embroiled in all that?
But as Christians, I don't think we can just stand and watch while another human being gets subjected to injustice and evil.
Didn't Jesus tell us the story about the Good Samaritan?
Maybe even just calling the police or a required helpline would be the thing to do in a situation.
But let's just not be silent spectators.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.... (Edmund Burke, India supporter)
