The situation in Orissa is a perfect example of 'angst' - desperate anger towards and for nothing! Those innocent victims are being tortured for no fault of theirs, they know not who and when will they be hunted, for what reason and by whom! The worst I can sense is the desperation they must be feeling when they cannot even get angry - because then they will be going against the very tenet for which they are being persecuted. Neither can they appeal to anyone, for even those who are supposed to protect them are the ones perpetuating the violence. This is real 'angst' according to me!
And here I am, in the comfort of my office, sitting and philosophizing on their plight!
