Anyways, Indians and Processes don't go well, together...! So the current buzz from the Bollywood, regarding the Jail-Sentence for Salman Khan, just confirmed it, one more time...!

As a process..., whoever commits a crime gets punished...! This is irrespective of who committed the crime or what kind of crime!
But what we saw in Sanjay Dutt's case and now in Salman Khan's case..., for us it DOES matter, "Who" did it...! Because, we are so selfish and are after the political gains that we have nothing to do with the processes or the underlined fairness!
The long term, sustained, predictable, stable and fair order of the things, just doesn't seem to matter to us...! We are just bothered about immediate gains! This is how, we are still a very immature society, far away from the western, developed societies!
We, still, are the gangs of different communities, living together, rather than being a One, Homogeneous Society!
Of course, the Bollywood stars supported Salman and NOT the victims of his crime because,
We follow traffic rules only when the Police is in sight..., otherwise, we don't find it necessary, at all, to follow the rules!
Here also, some take pride in breaking rules, in front of Police, trying to demonstrate the influence! His accomplices too would approve such demonstration, rather than shaming him for breaking the rules! This is NOT a demonstration of "Influence" but is of "Stupidity" and "Backwardness"!
We never seem to understand the importance of the processes!

Of course, the Bollywood stars supported Salman and NOT the victims of his crime because,
- Salman can reciprocate this support with his influence and profile but the faceless victims can't!
- So supporting Salman is going to be more beneficial, politically, than supporting the victims!
- There are clear-cut advantage of supporting Salman with no advantages of any kind, by supporting the faceless victims!
- Who cares, who's right and who's wrong, as they are just selfish and nothing else!
Thank God, they, at least yet, haven't colored the issue with Religion or something...!
Even at our homes and schools (and of course offices..., but more about it, in a separate, dedicated blog-post!) it matters, "Who" did it, rather than "What" is done!
"If my daughter did it, then it's correct; while, if your daughter did it, then it's wrong!", this thinking and the approach is prevalent everywhere in India!
No one wants to play it fair, but just are after bullying others, taking undue advantage of their profile, status and the influence! Yes, on the top of it, nobody feels ashamed of it!
Even the ones at receiving end doesn't find it unfair and identify the necessity of eradication of this behavior, rather, they commit themselves to pursue the goals to attain such influence, so that "They too can bully others like this!"
We follow traffic rules only when the Police is in sight..., otherwise, we don't find it necessary, at all, to follow the rules!

This is our true face, whether we like it or not! These idiot stars in Bollywood have just exposed the True face of our society, and nothing else!
