I used be, and I should be proud and feel like I have the added benefit of experiencing both cultures; India and USA, but lately I feel ashamed of being a part of either. i am so sad and scared for my daughter's safety in the future.
Senseless murders of children and their heroes last week in Newtown, USA. And yesterday, the news of a young girl gang raped--she was internally bruised to the point that she can never live a normal married life and experience having her own child--on a moving bus, then thrown off off the bus, naked, left for dead, by 6 drunken bus staff members who who took the bus illegally out for a joyride at night (it's used for a children's school during the daytime) ... and it happened in India's capital, Delhi. And yes, the country is in uproar. Fear is seen in every girl you pass by, and women are feeling compelled to travel less by bus or taxi now, which limits their mobility even more.
The world won't end because of some Mayan Prophecy; it will end because the lack of respect for humanity is ending.
