Rajkumar's Death and the aftermath
The Demi god of Kannada Silver screen affectionately called as' Annavu' passed away last week after almost 50 years of unparallel popularity and 200 odd movies to his credit. But what shocked the Nation was the mob fury after his death for no rhyme or reason resulting in deaths of few policemen and loss of property and business totaling more than 200 Million USD in just 2 days and that too in the Technology Capital of the Nation. Instead of waiting patiently to see the mortal remains of the departed soul given the limitations of the palace grounds and the circumstances it was very unfortunate that some of the irate public took law into their own hands and unleashed a fury which was shocking and uncivilized to say the least. Though as a Country We are on the right path to becoming a potential superpower and World Knowledge capital by the end of next decade we have centuries to travel before we are seen as a civilized and self disciplined Nation in the eyes of the World at least during times of crisis, calamity and sad events such as the present one. The sight of lone policemen with a lathi being beaten mercilessly by the Public and the body of a Police Constable lying on the mortuary all alone bore a mute testimony to all the meaningless fury and loss of lives
Let's only pray and hope that such events do not happen again!
