Dear Mr Anil Kaushik,
What has happened is condemnable. Incident at Maruti factory was bad incident. Unfortunately it is setting trend also. This is far more dangerous.
However, the way news is framed, it appears to be one-sided. What provoked the workers to take on senior managers? Did some senior manager provoke the workers? There cannot be fire without some spark. Who lit that spark? We need to know this also.
The incident at Manesar or Nasik goes on to show the invisible "Us and Them" culture in the company. The violent acts of workers come handy for management to put a lid on the boiling pot of the organisation's culture. Violence garners undue attention and the invisible issues remain invisible forever.
