It is not they but we all who killed them. There isn’t social acceptance for AIDS affected people in this country. 9 out of 10 here see such patients with contempt. As i said before, India is one of the toughest countries to live in because of the social acceptance level for such things. Just nothing seems to work for such patients here. No movies, no slogans, no nothing and thus nothing changes.

Absolutely right. The society has killled these poor couple. I thought it must be in an interior area of the country. But it’s surprising to know that it’s in Bombay. Shame and insult is attached with the disease called AIDS, that’s why this unfortunate incident.
