It is indeed a sorry state of devaluation of ethical values,now no longer being taught any where including schools and homes. The parents are themselves captive of materialistic world, devoid of real sense of human values like compassion, love, care of weak, destitute, old and disabled. Everywhere, it is money and status which counts and schools like Euro International Public School are no exception. In such a scenario there is an express need to inculcate ethical values in parents and children as well. For this purpose, in schools, there should be a period when ethical values by way of stories, movies, cartoons and discussions should be taught. There children should be encouraged to express their minds freely and hear others. This should eventually become a platform where once in a month teachers and parents should also participate and attend attentively to their wards views, their worries, concerns, hopes, fears openly being expressed.
Thus a safety valve will evolve to clean minds of our children from the very beginning and help them to develop the fine qualities of heart and mind.

I am sorry to say that the question itself is not clear. When we say the 'gun culture' arrived in India in general , then 'gun culture' has always been their. Its arrival or departure has no meaning.
The context is made clear in the explanation attached with it. In the context of 'gun culture' in schools, it is perhaps too early to given such a judgement.
This is a stray incident, a very unfortunate one. The child is not to be blamed. The faulty parenting, the environment in which the child is being brought up , the home, the school, and the society in which the child mingles, these are, to be precise, certain factors which have influenced the 13 year old child.
A child in an early adolescence stage is confused by his changing life. He is going through identity crises. He is going through a period of stress and strain where he wants himself to be noticed by all.
The first and foremost thing that can be done is good parenting.
Parents should be like a friend with the child, so that the child can have confidence to talk each and everything with them. This way the parents will be forewarned.
The schools must include a subject of moral science in their school curriculum, where they are made aware of what is meant by 'Good and Bad '.
All kind of silly soap operas should be censored , as they are poisoning each and every household.
The teachers in school are the ones who are moulding the young minds to face the hard realities of the world, efficiently. But their role , after this incident , also has come under shadow.They should be asked where were they when this type of hatred was brewing.
Pull up the school authorities.

Gun Culture in India is not new or a new arrival. It is the culture now existing and specially during the past few years, but in different forms such as by Naxalites, Phoolan Devi & Veerappan type of groups, Land Grabers & the recent real estate/property mafias, smugglers, Religion based terrorists etc.etc. Further development is the money power in alliance with political and other vested interest groups. This development took place due to quick money received by undeserving people which lead to various activities of crime, indiscipline, luxry etc.

Our culture is shifting more and more towards the west. Who do we blame?? No one person is responsible for the terrible incident that has virtually shocked the country. What is to blame, is progress. Man has always been a curious beast, Alas! this curiosity has often led to his undoing. So, how can we stop this??????? Simply put, WE CANT. Unless, we intend slowing down all the advances we have thus far made in every other field. We must learn to take the good with the bad, Sadly, the bad is always STRIKING and this is what irks us. But, being as what we are, it only lasts for a short time before we soon forget and life goes on as usual. As I am sure will be the case this time too.

Large scale Gun Culture arrived in India when Cable TV came to India. Till then there were some small scale Gun Culture particularly in Northern India and Licensed Gun culture in most of the other so-called civilized parts of the country.

yes! It earmarks the beginning of new era in the Indian society more so as it has been blown out of proportion by the media added by the fact that youth also hankers after popularity. Such scenes will now be as common as runnuning down of lives by the blue line buses. In India it will noe be survival of the musclest. Law and order, morality and responsibilty, right and wrong will be decided by the media. Media is going to be the adjudicator. When criminals and law shirkers are the legislators satan is going to rule the rust. ' You show me the man and I will show you the law' is the governing principle everywhere. Money is majesty and magic. Law abiders are taken for rides only. To stop the gun culture lust, anger, desire and attachment need to be bequeathed which is not going to happen in near future at least in India where there is so much of the gap between the haves and have nots, previleged an the poor.

Now I see what you mean of gun culture. And to answer your question, no, gun culture has not really arrived in India. Just because there was one incident does not neccessarily mean that gun culture has arrived. In my opinion, there has to be several events like the one you desribed for a gun culture to arrive. Living in the US, I can tell that our country probably already has a "gun culture" due to the continuous events of violence (especially at schools) which involve the use of guns. So should India reach the same level of violent events as the US (which hopefully does not happen), you could then say that India has achieved (in the bad way) a "gun culture."

India already has the Second highest number of guns after USA with the civilian population. The figures are like 4 for every 100 people compared to 90 for every 100 in USA. This number also is of registered weapons only! Who knows how many illegal guns "Kattas" are there states like UP and Bihar!
The problem is with irresponsible people leaving weapons lying around and stressed out people.
The civilian population should be armed because the govt. sometimes tries to take people for a ride! India's civilians should buy more arms and ask for right to bear arms so India never becomes a slave to any country ever again! Instead proper education should be given about safety!
Did you know Japan dropped the idea of invading USA mainland in world war 2 because the civilian population was armed to the teeth! Guns don't kill people, people kill people!
I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it!
India is surrounded by vultures waiting to capture it!
By the way this case was a cold premeditated murder. The two guys planned it days ahead took the weapon to school, took the victim to a secluded area and took turns shooting him! If they were adults i'd say hang them!

As reported in the papers the boys had complained regarding the bully. Since no action was taken against the bully these two boys seem to have been 'pushed' into this action.
The world is getting progressively 'smaller'. You cannot isolate yourself and follow only 'Indian culture' and avoid 'Western Culture'. What needs to be followed is the best of each culture.
In the blame game - the school mainly, for not taking action against the bully and also the parents for making a gun along with the ammunition available to a boy of such tender age.
