How much to be involved?

Circa: Aug 19, 2024. The nation is raging with anger for the heinous act that happened to a 31-year doctor, which removed her from the face of the earth. Would I be wrong if I say, it's not the nation that is raging, but the woman who feels the pain and who goes through a small version of such treatments/abuse on an everyday basis? Whomever expressing, found ways to show her anger or helplessness. Hope men are feeling the same and that's why there are fewer expressions from them, maybe they are still assimilating it and we can hope for some reaction.

Say some examples, where someone expressed it with poems, write-ups, and social media posts are here

Interestingly some brands did lap up the opportunity to use it for independence campaigns. So it was a double whammy for them, social cause/awareness campaign with it of course. Otherwise, plain Independence Day wish got spicier with feminism infused. Suddenly India Media became woman-promoting and men-bashing. Just to revert back to whatever they were doing two days in a jiffy.
