Is there an issue of privilege hungering slaves going mad after getting liberty?
Is there a social and an economic issue hidden behind the following reports.
Will the constitution be rewritten after such cases?

The ruling party members went beyond a limit of civility when they assaulted and pulled naked a revenue officer in Punjab. The Hindi press had shown very telling and disturbing photographs but English press abstained from using the shutters. The actual act has rather imparted much respectability to acts of Shiv Saniks of Maharashtra .

They may not be Daniel Shays. Daniel Shays was a patriot. He obstructed the work of court dealing with debt cases of farmers. But, the elite and natural aristocrats took the opportunity to re write the American constitution and it was the foundation on which America became the real democratic country. Daniel Shays incidence took place in 1786. But this incidence really speaks much about the Indian democracy, the issue of liberty at the hands of individuals, the character of slave mentality Indians (remained subjugated for 800 years under Turks of various descriptions and then Nordics for 200 years) when join the elite group by luck because their landed property had become suddenly highly prized, they are unable to understand what to do with liberty which has fallen in their lap. But is it what they do?

The following reports of national (Tribune is generally considered a regional paper) newspapers, will give some insight into it. However, the real story could have been more effective had they followed the pattern of Hindi and Punjabi Press.
