Police face criticism for allegedly failing to stop Wednesday's mob attack on an African student in Bangalore. A young Tanzanian woman was pulled from her car, stripped, beaten, paraded naked and sexually assaulted by young Indian men. Her car was set afire and a local policeman took no action. A short time before this outrageous attack a drunk Sudanese student ran over and killed an Indian woman on the same street. He too was pulled from his car and beaten; his car was set afire. Both were horrendous incidents on the same street just minutes apart. Both incidents fed the prejudices bubbling just below the surface of young Indian males. Pray for more to be done to prevent racial discrimination and for the mob culture emerging to be eradicated.
