I highly doubt the veracity of the article about the SUV driving young man and the vegetable seller; this story confirms your worst stereotypes about India and gets eyeballs but it is bullshit. I would like to point out that poor people in India are a very well represented : Communist part and Marxist parties are doing very well in India. Every political party courts the votes of poor people. If you pull shit like that SUV kid , the vegetable sellers would swarm your car and fuck you up good. I grew up in Delhi. The poor people in Delhi day are very well aware of their rights and exercise them -- sometimes with violent consequences for the brash rich. The feudal India that you allude you is gone and good riddance to it . One has to be super fucking powerful to get away with shit like that in India. Btw , Salman Khan (the actor) is facing jail time. So yeah !

Stereotypes often ring true, no one attributes this kind of stuff to northern Europe and there's a reason for that. As to your claim that he's lying about the vegetable cart story. In order for his car to get swarmed, at least one of those vegetable sellers has to make the first move, sometimes this happens, but 9 times out of 10 people look out for their own skins ahead of righteous vengeance.

  I am not excusing the appalling behavior of some of the rich in India. All I am saying is that this article is highly sensational and is merely backed by anecdotal evidence. >>no one attributes this kind of stuff to northern Europe and there's a reason for that. Could the reason be a willingness of the those societies to overlook this kind of behavior towards people with ..umm higher melatonin levels ? Slavery / colonialism / apartheid ring a bell ?

  A rich man or the bigger car banging into a smaller cart, especially in a poor neighborhood, will get swarmed 9 times out of 10. You drastically misunderstand the level of righteous vengeance and drama centrism in such a situation. On top of that many people will look at a richer person as someone who is likely to have connections and hence escape justice. You are more likely to be swarmed than not.

> Btw , Salman Khan (the actor) is facing jail time. For a crime he committed over a decade ago, right? You think that's justice?

  Simply put: the system seems to be slightly better than what the situation was in the 1980s As such yes it is better, but in absolute terms there is still further distance to cover.
