Calendar of Barbarities

WHEN will our police lock-ups and jails, interrogation centres and torture chambers become museums? Like the Tower of London, or the Auschwitz concentration camp, will they ever be turned into historical monuments for a future generation to help them learn lessons from the past phases of barbarism in the history of human civilisation? The so-called Indian civilisation right now appears to be passing through such a phase of barbarism. Hopefully, a future generation of civilised Indians will teach their children to abhor such acts of barbarity and become better citizens.
