The Pink Chaddi campaign got international attention and actually shamed the local government into making preventive arrests. It's not about 'kya karein' but 'kaise karein'. @Devika: A lot can be done and a lot was done about the Mangalore incident.

But then again, isn't this all easier said than done? Didn't we all cry out in exasperation at the pub incident and subsequently the Kanpur College bakwaas? I mean frankly, all of this is quite a bit of a hopeless situation don't you think? I mean, a case of karein bhi, to kya karein? True. But then again, isn’t this all easier said than done?

And more than anything. what I find most appalling is how it is clearly accepted into our lives - as I said, people who "grow old" and have a family to run, leave all initiative from life. Even if they ever wanted to do something in their lives, they entirely give it up - they say life doesn't give then time to. It's actually their own satisfising attitude that lets them live without it. This, in my view, also justifies the lack of the spirit of achievement, and efforts among us Indians. I hope this changes soon... :( Exactly my point.

Whether something is wrong with the political system, education system, society at large...anything at all, the standard response is "You should change", rather than trying to get things fixed.
