Else a 100% &#8220;literate&#8221; state would not have indulged in barbarism of such dastardly proportion. So instead of a result-oriented education system which revolves only around marks, grades and bagging of jobs; stress should be awarded to value-based education which would not only impart humanity upon the upcoming generation, but also enlighten them of a sense of differentiating between right and wrong.<br \/>\nHowever this is not a stray case in the Southern state. Kerala remains on the top bracket nationally in the incidents of such brutal assault or mobocracy. Numerous such cases have already been witnessed in &#8220;God&#8217;s own country&#8221;, with the victims being primarily migrant labourers, lunatic or poor. So instead of boasting about literacy or natural beauty, Kerala should introspect a bit and ensure strict law and order so that the brutes think twice before assaulting innocents or accused persons again.<br \/>\nAnd why don\u2019t the \u201cbrave\u201d lots display their &#8220;might&#8221; by confronting the goons, timber mafia, smuggler and other such nuisance of the society instead of venting their suppressed ire upon innocents, helpless and vulnerable lot?<br \/>\n<strong>Yours,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Kajal Chatterjee,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Kolkata<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor, Will a tiny drop of tear may also be spared for that lunatic youth Madhu also who was recently barbarically beaten to death by a blood thirsty mob in Kerala (a &#8220;highly educated&#8221; state and &#8220;highly technologically progressive&#8221; one also with one of the &#8220;brave&#8221; moral guardians of the society even daring to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-20868","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-readers-forum"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20868\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
