BEASTS REDEFINED!!!!!!!!

Just saw the footage on TV of a policeman in uniform in Araria, Bihar stomping an injured man to death. I am still shaking with revulsion and horror. Have we as a people, as a nation sunk so low, and gone back so far into time that even beasts appear benign. Listening to news everyday is an act of bravery and of steeling oneself to hearing more and more gory crimes against humanity by our own people and against our own citizens by those in power. We are a free nation apparently, a democracy where its people are meant to be supreme, but the rot that bad governance and absolute decay in human values brought upon us by corrupt politicians and equally insensitive and indifferent citizens has made us into some creatures which even perhaps God cannot recognise. if it werent for the press, howsoever, sensational nothing would come to light. But, enough is enough. What will it take for us to become human again, forget honest ones, atleast kind to all living beings, especially our own species.
