		<description>I have question, even though it is not related to the above incident.

How should we judge if an action is RIGHT or WRONG? 
A) Based on the result of the action.
B) Based on the the action itself.

		<description>There is definitely a double standard in how laws apply to the citizens. Hopefully with time situation will improve.</description>

		<description>I ran accross this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telegraphindia.com/1061114/asp/nation/story_6997009.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;priceless gem&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;blockquote&gt;Anthony, who owns a metallurgical unit where he makes dye moulds, sounded angry as he said: â€œMy son is being held in a lock-up as a common criminal. Salman Khan did the same thing (mowed down pavement dwellers) four years back. Did they put him in the lock-up?â€&lt;/blockquote&gt;
So indians should do what they did with Salman Khan.
Adore him, Engage in mental masturbation* and watch mr Paraiera&#039;s movies.
And the great Indian American community should pay him money to come shake his ass on the stage and take some more dough back home.

*whenever watching BollyWood(mutthy muth) a double handed mental masturbation technique is required hands going up and down the temple.</description>

		<description>I fault those sleeping in dangerous locations for making their lives cheap too.
There is a herdish mentality everywhere but appears more prounounced in india.

My father was laughed at in india when he wore a helmet on when ridging his moped by nearly every one in bhilai.
They used to say at least purchase a scooter if you are going to wear a helmet.

It taught me an important lesson early on which is to give a middle finger salute to unsolicited advice givers.

Incidentaly he also allways wore shoes while riding and asked my mom to put on a salwar and not sit sideways.

Indian roads are still kayotic whith fat grandma sitting sideways people with prescription glasses not wearing them while riding. 
Hell i got a license in india without ever taking a road test.

As far as we knew we were the one of the 3 families in the street of 30 family who bought legally mandated insurance. 

Every one used to say oh jee yeh to bhilai hai accident ke baad bhi steel plant walon ko insurance mil jayegi.

It aint the rich kid who is as guilty but every one.</description>

		<description>When the Police of the country is largely corrupt... much is possible.

Do not just ask for better standards from the rich and successful, ask from the marauding mobs as well - who regularly go on rampage in cities across india - Rajkumars death - lynch a policeman! Thats what they did. 

Unless the law is fairly and equally applied to all - nobody would abide by it.</description>

		<description>This brings back memories. I remember back in &#039;97, a couple of my dad&#039;s colleagues&#039; sons were involved in an accident, where when they were racing their scooters they lost control and rammed into an old lady sitting outside her hut. She died. They paid the family off. I didn&#039;t know those kids too well so I can&#039;t say if they were sorry.I certainly hope they were. What has always stayed with me is though everyone spoke in hushed tones of disapproval, it was evident that everyone, deep down, approved of the outcome. That the kids didn&#039;t end up in jail. I don&#039;t really know how to qualify it, but there was this element of &#039;hota hai&#039;. 

I see a lot of people expressing outrage in the media, but that in no way suggests that these people would have acted different if their kids or relatives were involved. I know it isn&#039;t fair to apply a common standard for judging everyone&#039;s intentions, considering I&#039;ve only known a small fraction of them. So let me speak for that fraction. They sure as hell will feel angry and sympathize with the poor people in the incident. However, deep down I know that if this had been their kid they wouldn&#039;t have thought twice about &#039;bailing&#039; him/her out the same way the Pareiras did. 

Like you said, life&#039;s cheap. We live in a pretention of a democracy. 

Anyway.

What do the dead care?</description>
