Words fail me.
Channel after Channel (Malayalam) revel in showing off the murder in the open of a young man.
His crime?
He tried to dissuade two groups from a fight in the bar. He dared to interfere where no one bothered to pacify the warring groups.
Result?
The poor man was murdered in the open. He was hit, He was kicked. There he lay on the road helpless. The murderers did not relent. His ribs were broken. He was smothered.
On lookers stood there watching the sordid drama. They went on capturing everything on the phone.
The Channels had their bite.
The murder went live across the state, the nation and the world.
A young child lost its father. A young wife lost her husband. A mother lost her son.
Why can't the Channels desist from telecasting the horror.
No they won't ever.
We have become a tribe that derives pleasure from watching without flinching the murder of a fellow human being in real time as long as we are not directly a part of it.
