The candles have faded, but has the cause???

This day manjunath shanmugam,an IIM graduate was brutally murdered by the petrol bunk mafias when he ordered the shut down of a petrol bunk in UP as he found traces of adulteration in petrol…
One of the cream of people who have got into the IIM, manjunath stood up for what was right….but then he ended up another victim of the mafia..
Here is a story of an ordinary person with an extraordinary value system who stood for justice.
In his youth, when most people with an IIM degree would look to go places far and wide, manjunath chose to serve his country and stop adulteration…
Here was a boy who was willing to get his hands dirty, willing to do the dirty work…so that the common man would not be affected…
But then, the Indian judicial system has being found wonting once again…with over a year passing without the final verdict being out…the friends and family, shall we say ,see a light at the end of the tunnel but it is that of an oncoming train..
No amount of compensation can fill the heart of a mother shedding tears for the death of her child
the future of our country is in our hands and manjunath has shown us the way...
But let us hope that manjunath’s death is not in vain…..
Let us hope that there are more manjunaths who come forward bravely to uphold what is right….
His life though a short one...was inspiring and his life will be etched in our memory 4 ever...

Happy blogging n hope u hav more interesting things to share wid the world.... er... actually like how u celebrate (did u?) the birth of ur own space in this endless worldwide web, this is my first comment n so am running short of words...

Anyway ur blog was truly thought provoking ... Won't an incident like this nip off the spirits of manjunaths waiting to give tongue to their inner convictions?? How long are we expected to be silent on-lookers??
