They should try getting a job or do some volunteering instead of beating up innocent people. Then agan, the parents are just as socially uneducated and deserve enough rope to hang themselves stupid. Where else would these kids learn that any kind of violence the solution for everything? There’s no reason why underage kids should join gangs in the first place.

It had a lot more to say than I imagined. It answered questions only to bring up more questions in it's place. The answers, thus far, do not exist because we haven't come up with them. But, I think that the questions started to become a lot more clearer. Instead of pointing fingers, or assuming that someone else is responsible, how does a community that used to be so community minded return to it's roots? One of the things that was brought up in the film was that in India, it takes a community to raise a child. It's a common problem A fast paced world where materialism is almost a religion - and so we have to have more material things. And so we sacrifice family time to have 'security' the big house and give their kids material rewards for getting good grades. That's the modern world at large, yes. So, do we, as a community, have to go to hell in a hand basket because the rest of the world struggles with the same thing? I am GLAD the media has brought this up, fair or unfair. I rather be aware and do something about the problem than hide my head in the sand being ashamed that everyone is pointing a finger at me and mine. A violent person is a violent person - a coward is a coward - with Khanda or no Khanda. And a person who stands up amongst controversy is the real warrior.

It’s a common problem A fast paced world where materialism is almost a religion – and so we have to have more material things. And so we sacrifice family time to have ‘security’ the big house and give their kids material rewards for getting good grades.
