A society of morbid voyeurs https://www.allindiansmatter.in/a-society-of-morbid-voyeurs/ Tushar Gandhi July 13, 2023 With the advent and reach of social media, video streaming and apps with live streaming features, we see a flood of videos of all kinds. This seems to have turned a vast majority of Indians into morbid voyeurs. ... Why do we need to watch atrocities being committed to be moved before we are outraged? Why isn’t just hearing or reading about these horrible acts enough to horrify us? Why have a huge majority of us become such morbid voyeurs? Why has our collective compassion died? We need to question ourselves, find answers and detox to humanise ourselves. And we need to do it quickly....This is the worrying malice I see in India today – a malice that will turn us all into murderous demons, not because each one of us will kill or act brutally but because most of us will remain unmoved by such acts....
Comment: on Whatsapp.. more than lament the morbid voyeurs, we have to incorporate into our strategy which includes a method which valourises those who do respond..

https://www.freepressjournal.in/education/after-agniveers-leaving-training-midway-reports-claim-candidates-need-to-pay-expenses According to several reports, in the first batch of Agniveers (Indian Army Training), more than 50 candidates left the training midway. There is no provision to bind Agniveers to the training program, also there is no penalty for leaving the Agnipath training halfway. However, a report claims that centre might bring a change in the rules so that Agniveers cannot leave the training in the middle...
According to the military officer, the youths who left Agniveer’s training have given different reasons. Some left after being on medical leave for more than a month. Others left the training saying that they had found better opportunities.
The first batch of Agniveers will join the Army next month as the training is over and the training of the second batch is about to begin.
