Middle class morality, in evidence

Barely alive, Rohini sisters rescued from home - The Times of India: "NEW DELHI: The middle class neighbourhood of Rohini's Sector VIII woke up on Saturday to a shocking story of neglect and social apathy. Two sisters - allegedly suffering from depression and malnutrition for months with their bodies having started to rot - were sent to hospital by one of their relatives who stays in the area after the stench from the house became unbearable. How the 65-year-old mother of the two women and her grandson, 14-years-old, managed to live in these conditions without seeking help is a mystery.

The neighbours admitted that they chose to ignore the screams and stench for over two years believing that "the matter did not concern them.'' And on Saturday morning, they came to know the truth only through television."
