Giving thought to my connection with Indore again, I see, given the current situation that though th city has created an aura about being an 'educational center', the mentality of the locals is still not as progressive as they are teaching through the institutions.
And hence I am not able to decide, that as an IT professional, where in Indore can I really fit in with my experience and outlook that I have developed in a cit like Bombay.

the current issue there with communal riots, an indefinite curfew and the recently unearthed terrorist links puts the city law and order situation in quandary and also puts the image of Indore as a 'global outsourcing destination' into deep dire straits.

The city has an IIM and the city is expected to get its IIT also shortly.

For educational institutions to meet their goals and the students to get the most out of them, basic law and order is a must. Students need to attend classes regularly. Given the fact that IIM and IIT students live on campus, the impact might be less. But nevertheless, the fear factor will always be there.

Given this, and the growing number of cases of burglary, murders and inability of the police system to even identify a pattern, leave alone the culprits, is a huge lacuna in the overall governance system which has in a way left the residents in fear, in several areas.

Senior citizens are the most prone and it has actually caused a lot of stress for me to try and keep myself from being carried away with my parents' welfare there. There are several families there where the old parents live by themselves. Imagine how a curfew like situation will affect such people. Does anyone for that matter think about such impacts?
