India: Biggest Democracy or Mobocracy?

A section of the Indian society has taken to mobocracy in a big way. There have been many instances of organized and systematic mob attacks on fellow Indians. And everytime they get away without any punishment! Disgusting as it may be, what is a decent Indian to do?

A friend of mine forwarded a blog entry by someone who was victimised by this mobocracy. This person and a bunch of people stuck together and did not give up. Please read the post on http://vishshanker.sulekha.com/blog/post/2009/02/this-happened-in-bangalore-bengaluru-shocking.htm.

Public institutions meant to provide service to the citizens are being taken over by the mob elements. I hope there is some way of cleaning this rot and restoring decency.
