Crime and Criminals exist in every society of the world. Had it not been true, then there would have been at least one country in the world, which had no Jail!
These are the acts of individuals or specific groups committed or perpetrated due... to numerous reasons and causes, for instance out of greed, envy, frustration and coveted evilly designed nefarious plans. To generalize such acts and attribute it to a specific portion of society, religion or a country at large is entirely a wrong concept.
To enlighten those who believe in generalizing, I append below some links which would support and prove my contention in the opening sentences of my aforesaid comments. Please bear in mind that by submitting these few links ,I am not at attempting to condone crime nor justifying the crime committed in comparision within our society, rather being an humanitarian,I vehemently condemn crime of any nature or magnitude commited any where around the globe. However, I certainly wish to offer evidence that such acts are sadly nothing new and that they don’t only take place in our society alone!
1) Lynching in the United States:
Lynching, the practice of killing people by extrajudicial mob action, occurred in the United States chiefly from the late 1700s through the 1960s. This type of murder is most often associated with hanging, although it often included burning and various other methods of torture. Only rarely were lynches punished, or even arrested, for their crimes.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_the_US
2a) There could not be more sickening then this type of a crime in which a Mother kills her offsprings.This happens in high rate in a such a developed and advance nation whom the world undeniably accepts as the Super Power No.1.Yes!the United States of America.

"The nation is always shocked by criminal cases such as Andrea Yates, a mother of five who methodically drowned all of her children in a bathtub then calmly called police, but mothers killing their children are more common than we might think." http://crime.about.com/od/female_offenders/a/mother_killers.htm

5)Vaishali lynching: Officials suspended http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj4dWZh60_M
I conclude that our media and we ourselves as individuals are to be blamed of wrongly projecting or blowing out of proportion issues of the nature such as the one incident witnessed recently,to such an extent that more then the criminals who committed crime the whole nations gets to be maligned and put on trial in front of the world at large.
Tell me, those links posted above relating to the gruesome and heinous crimes committed within India, did they happen to ever come across your attention or were they repeatedly circulated for a long duration of time in the Indian press? or for that matter how many of the individual Indians post their own home garbage online here in this global village known as the WWW ? None,that I have witnessed or experianced having any knowledge of.
Responsibly,they do inform their public about the internals,but never in such a manner that it could be exploited by the external sources.It is never repeatedly kept in circulation till months end.
Unfortunately and sadly,in fact we are the ones who are in the habit of washing our dirty linen in public and as a consequence destroy the complete image of ourselves, our religion and the country!Thus allowing others to play according to their own tune and exploit and harm us.The Indians on the contrary under play such things and sweep the dust under the carpet painting a rosy picture, gaining the confidence and respect of the world in them..I believe this just goes to show that at times one could learn a good lesson from its worst foes ,as well.
That is why they are today being counted as an emerging super power of the world and we sadly dipping deep to a status of a failed state. It is about time we corrected our act and concentrated more on projecting the positivities which when paid due attention to are in great abundance around us compared to the few negativities that we continue to always surround ourselves with.
Best Regards.
