I don't feel guilty but I do feel complicit.
Human race scapegoats its own shadow.

It's first time I am writing in this blog or any blog for that sake...
Partly the reason is that Last whole week I felt paralyzed reading about Anand Jon arrest / conviction. It literally crippled me to doing or thinking anything else...
So I am going to try to dig deep into this experience and share my thoughts honestly and humbly.
Why did I feel such intense reaction?
1. Because of my collective Ego (I am an indian..My Parents are Indian) and if Anand is an Indian then Obviously my Consciousness is going to be affected the same way as it is affecting him sitting in Jail.
2. Injustice.. Living n Growing up with my Desires..I never thought deep enough (because of lack of self-experience) before so It was something totally new to me when I hit the wall and My Personal / Collective Ego Self was literally shattered.
My Views about Anand Case: He is guilty as much as Indian guilt / shame towards sex and this goes much much more deeper. He is guilty of crossing that boundary. I personally feel that He was not even close to being "rapist". His approact towards sex was just as normal as anyone of us as Indian or a Human Being.
There might be issues regarding Fashion Industry / Modeling / Looking For Money and Anand because of his stupidity towards reality made an easy prey........But Why would the whole system take such a brutal / inhumanistic approact has revealed a "lot" to me about American Mind and Ego.
It's American Ego about Indian Guy going around more than One American Woman ..... that has basically brought dirt to every mouth out there. But looking deep into I realize that American / White Ego Hurt is the real cause behind this brutality showered upon Anand.......... Just like in India .. If a Guy falls in Love with a Girl from Higher Caste.....and think about a Guy had sex with more than One Girl from Higher Caste...
Locals / Media / Detectives / Crown / Jury and the Best Part of Americans and even Indians...........are throwing so much Guilt around him and branding him a rapist..
I only came to know of Anand 10 days ago from the news but feelings and underlying issues are absolute my perception
It's really the "Rape of Democracy in America" or in other way "America is a robust imperialistic and Police State".
I pray and Hope that myy Judgement is very  limited and not really applies to "whole" of American Heart so there can be a chance of some peace around the world Otherwise the future ot this whole world LOOKS very bleak..
Also I am very impressed by first line of Anupam Kher's blog profile......"I have never judged life. If I had, I would have been a complete mess..." 
-----------------------------
Other thing to ponder is If the thought / belief ... "I am an Indian" can be erased from my consciousness then I will not feel hurt as experienced by Anand
But then there will be access to deeper thought / belief .. "I am an Human being" then I will be feeling the scars of every body...Indian...American or....22 other states and More than How many? billion human beings......
the first thought is mental condtioning starting after birth but the second conditioning of being a human being starts "with" birth. and it's not totally mental....
WOW!!... trying to erase the pain and ending up multai-times more...
But that really takes me where........ to the realm of consciousness as once I heard from "Respected" Deepak Chopra(Sounds like a Good Man)
I came across reading about him yesterday on intent blog.....
So Lots to say but tired for now....... Will certainly appreciate feedback.......cus here it's just me / my mind and this screen doing all the work....have no idea how people with take my views.....

"Now I am not claiming that either was innocent or guilty, that is between them and their conscience or God."

No, it's not. Jon was raping young ladies, and it is not up to himself to decide whether or not he was guilty. Vijay was cheating people out of millions of dollars and that isn't just up to himself and his conscience.

These people were inflicting real crimes on their victims.

How come you seem not to comprehend that?

Well, you just wrote me off, too, yogi. Is that a crime?
There is feeling and there is comprehension.

Were you ever with any of those young girls?

I agree with yogi-one. It seems like the writer never gave any previous thought to the failings of others or how bad karma can all of a sudden descend apon one. What did she think the Buddha and Jesus were trying to espouse any way, but how to rid ourselves of pain and suffering and trouble and mayhem.

Who pusheth one that evil path? askes Arjuna
Karma it is. says Krishna

"It’s all very strange."

Yes, and worth investigating. I'm with you Ayesha, provided we stay in the moment?

Sorry, Ed, not writing you off.

Unfortunately I have had friends go to jail for crimes, and I once had a good friend who was found out to be a child molester - so I had to face the same reality that I don't always know what my "friends" are doing when I'm not around, and that people in my social circle can turn out to have dangerous dark sides.

Sorry if I came off sounding too harsh. I guess it tapped some nerve for me...

Oh gosh, yogi, I thought you might really lay the law down to me!
You're a good and thoughtful man and I still hold precious, your post on music-making. Oh that I could!

I guess I had a bee in my bonnet, too :))

nice.
