Monochrome mania

 
People gathering at Band stand, Bandra, to protest against the Government and police apathy at Violence against Women. This was a response to the horrific gangrape and assault of a young girl by 6 boys in a bus on 16th Dec. She succumbed to injuries sustained, on 29th Dec. There have been protests all over India asking for more stringent laws, stricter implementation of existing laws and sensitization of the police force towards such crimes.

    Things like this are so heartbreaking to read about, but people need to know before there can be any change.

    Good catch, Sir. One hopes that change will come and that it will come from people, like us.

    Monochrome suits the mood and content of this picture perfectly. Love the circle, the diversity of folks, diversity of actions...thanks for this capture

    It is only through the actions and determination of ordinary people that change will happen. Never underestimate the power of the people. An excellent photo to show the rest of the world what is happening.

    It is shocking and appalling. I really hope things get done and that society can be enhanced, not just in India, but around the world.

    It is good to see people protesting injustice! This story has been all all over our media. So sorry the girl died. Hopefully the perpetrators will be given their due rewards!

    Wish you a Happy New Year 2013 to all.

    It is very dangerous and sad things happen frequently to the woman.The Delhi incident is still in our minds and the 23 years old young Indian Braveheart united all Indian People. After this incident Indian youth become united and support her and mourn for her.
