We are becoming aliens in our own land. Look at the media coverage that this incident is getting. Well, I am not against it as it is a serious issue. But,on the other hand, 2 weeks back a Canadian worker working in Sasken in Bengaluru molested a local girl at work and was torturing her for several months. What action did our govt. take on this guy? If it were in US or any other country they would have deported the foreigner by confiscating the visa. But in this case, I donot read about it or see in any TV news channel nor any govt action. Are our Indian lifes are cheaper in our own country? Is this how Britishers ruled us for 200 years??

They probably 'advised' the local girl to keep mum and shun bad publicity on herself. OTOH, they might have extracted some baksheesh from the Canadian to sweep everything under the rug. All happy, no? No clogging justice system, stops more personal damage, and cops are especially happy with a fatter purse.. If you read Indian newspapers, you gotta be able to read between the lines, buddy! :)

I don't know whether she complained or not. But the emails that the guy wrote which contained objectionable material demeaning Karnataka and kannadigas(because the girl was a kannadiga) fell into wrong hands and the incident came to light. She even slapped the guy once in front of everyone for ragging her.
