These days, rather too often, the line between bona fide outrage (which can take many forms, not all of which can be termed reasonable) and effective means to counter or combat what is a wrong, or wrongful action, gets blurred.

The lodging of an FIR against Hare Krishna Exports Private Limited, which in a terse message refused to hire Zeeshan Ali Khan, an MBA, only because he is a Muslim, falls in that category. The company's complicity is clear, notwithstanding its "apology" and announcement of firing the fresher trainee in the HR Dept. Nobody buys that logic, or the argument that because it has one Muslim among 61 employees at the Mumbai office, it cannot be accused of discrimination.
