    Inflation (particularly food inflation) is becoming a big problem in India. Also Sharad Pawar (the guy getting slapped) has been linked to a lot of corruption and bribery in government.

    The Indian rupee has been steadily weakening over the last few months and that combined with rising food prices is really hurting the average person in India.

    someone needs to freeze-frame that exact moment, with the caption "And on that day, MANY f**ks were given"

    As I dimly understand it, corruption and a minimally functioning governmental system that responds only reactively and almost never proactively is the definition of India. (It's maybe the Bizzaro China)

    Just like Occupy in the US though things are going to change when people can communicate, organize and demand fairness.

    Mohamed Bouazizi may be revered worldwide like Ghandi in 100 years.
