Selma, I actually agree with your sentiments and with much of what you say. The real issue is what concrete actions can individuals like us, who are thousands of miles from our motherland take? So far, I have seen no concrete actionable plan from anyone on this forum on an appropriate response. I would be happy to support something that I can actually do something about. Just decrying about the Ram Sena and calling for revenge on goanet will not really do much.
Furthermore, the way I see it, how can we call for a response to such events, while we do nothing to respond to the religious assaults perpetrated by individuals on our very own forum? It is this duplicity that shreds the credibility of the shrill shriekers such as Roland on this forum.

First of all, anyone who saw the video of the hapless women does not want immediate retribution. What any society would want is immediate action by the law. We already know these people have been released. How often does this happen in India? This is a land without accountability and a corrupt polity. What justice are you waiting for, to take its course? The victims of Gujarat too are still waiting for justice to take its course. Yet, as we know, Narenda Modi has managed to reign supreme in Gujarat.
