Whether it's rape or any form of crime,the victims are always blamed.

After women being blamed for all sorts of crimes against them,now the latest are dead and poor people.

Yes,i am talking about the Salman khan case.There's nothing wrong in supporting Salman but I can't believe that people can stoop so low that they blame the dead person and the poor and homeless people.

Some have compared them with dogs,some have even went to the extent of saying that the homeless and poor people deserve to die.

Poverty is indeed a biggest curse!

This case has raised many issues.

First,when is the 'blaming the victim' attitude change?Will it ever change?

Second,the corrupt judiciary system of India which took 13 long years to punish Salman but few hours to grant him bail.

Third,the Government's failure to improve the conditions of poor.Even today,the poor cannot fulfill the basic needs of life.

Making an excuse for failure is common thing too do and when people are in love, they try to blame others for their own loved one making mistake. Especially some fans are crazy. There is no doubt Salman has been doing charity work but people have short term memory, they just remember present, what happened 10 years back or 15 year they don't even remember in their own life and then how can they remember about celebrity life.

Judiciary system is as corrupt as politician who makes them, so you cant expect justice. Salman case will be dragged into Supreme and it may take another 10 year like it happened in Sanjay dutt case.

Government have different plan and scheme for BPL but less fortune people have no idea about it and neither do government do anything to make aware of such program. Government official will only show up before elections to beg for votes.

It depends on the case. Many times the victim are actually at fault. In such cases, many people just ignore that and put the blame entirely on someone else.That is wrong too.

In a case like Salman's, the main issue is how the victim could have prevented the incident rather than the victim having done anything wrong.

recently it happened that a man ran on the expressway with the intention of crossing it and got hit several times over by several vehicles around dawn and all those drivers thinking they hit an animal... it took some time before some one realized it was a man... now it could stupidity of that man to cross the expressway... the drivers werent blamed...

compare this guy with people sleeping on sidewalks... really? why? why does govt allow free housing like this... in india.. why do they all people to make streets to be their illegal homes...some proper law and order should be in place.. salman needs to be brought down for dui if he indeed ran them over while drunk... both situations are equally unwanted...imo...
