Ring Side view of Indian Telecom Circus

A life snuffed out

Tags: , ,

A country that’s bereft of ethics morals and ideologies. That’s the nation we are moving to.

I have never endorsed personal blogging; yet this news was disturbing to the max.

A young chap from IIM working in Indian Oil Corporation (you guessed it- it’s a Government undertaking) decided to do his job by shutting down and sealing a petrol pump because they were adulterating the petrol.

Well, a simple honest man was killed because he was doing his job.

It’s an to all bloggers to link to this story (Rashmi Bansal’s story on her blog ) and give it widest coverage as possible. If you can use your resources,please do it so. It can be you or me any other day.

Shed your callousness and do something.

P.S. A minor update.

Gaurav Sabnis has written a tribute for Manjunathan. There is another place dedicated to Manju here. It does make me feel bad. Specially when you get to hear the human part of the tragedy. A person killed just because he was honest.

DAMN!

All these incidents bring to light the lawlessness that prevails in many states of India especially the north indian states. as Indians, we should hang our head in shame for the simple we tend to forget these things after a few days. the guilty deserve to be hanged to death...else the efforts of people like Mnaju shall go in vain...
