Decline in Compassion and Justice
- Criticism of Acts of Compassion: Acts of compassion like Yogita Bhayana helping a Muslim man face criticism in a polarized society.
- Diminished Communal Harmony: Acts of communal goodwill are increasingly met with sarcasm and indifference.
- Changing Value System: The value system has shifted, making communal harmony less cherished.
Normalization of Injustice
