The absence of Delhites per se, on Saturday's protest at Lajpat Nagar against the ethnic / racist attack against one of our north eastern denizen, is inexplicable.Where was the spontaneity displayed earlier in the anti corruption stirs by Capital's younger generation .The dharna in front of the CM's house by a much wider cross section on Sunday, would look almost an afterthought.Corruption is at best an acquired evil that might yet be eradicated.But racist perceptions would seem to be part of our inherited social value system.A liberated youth fights for gay rights but is diffident in expressing itself against such archaic mores, set much deeper within us. Our politicians would rather politicize the issue for transient gains than unitedly battle a malady that could turn cancerous over time ,by default.Today we stand seriously faulted as a nation.
