Cannot wait to come home

As an Indian Australian visiting New Delhi since the past two weeks, I am deeply saddened by the events to have gripped the nation. What saddens me more is the lack of government and police response.

Speaking to locals I note they are not at all surprised by the lack of action. In post-British India, Indians have come to expect such inaction. Like many, I do not know the girl nor her family, and cannot imagine the grief they are experiencing.

I too have a daughter, and I am sad to say I cannot wait to board my plane back home.
