Hero worshipping Vishnuvardhan

The savages used to bow down to idols made of stones and wood. The pack bows down to idols of flesh and blood.

Seeing the police lathi charge the mob in Bangalore, to have a last glimpse of Vishnuvardhan, a Kannada movie star, was not an astounding sight.

We are indeed a nation of hero worship.

Lack of proper education, poverty leading to an overawed feeling of someone with fame, power and money, a sense of helplessness, vulnerability and insecurity leads a horde of jackass, with no work at all, to assemble on a weekly working day, neglecting their schools, colleges, offices and their other daily chores, creating a general public nuisance and danger to law and order
