India, Oct. 14 -- Dear Shri Mohan Bhagwat ji,

Just two days ago, I watched a video clip forwarded to me on WhatsApp. It showed one person brutally and fatally attacking another, who was lying on the ground. He stopped the attack only to do a high jump on his stomach. He did it twice while a large crowd watched it with no one making even a feeble attempt to save the hapless man. All his internal organs would have been damaged beyond repair when the assailant did the tandava nritya on him.

What's worse, the crowd was shouting a particular slogan in honour of a great ruler from the mythical past. The video clip was so horrendous that I wished that I had not watched it. I am sure your reaction, too, would not have been any different. No perso...
