Jakarta: In times when people are spreading hope by helping each other beyond boundaries of class and caste, some incidents do emerge that break our heart and shed light on the bitter reality of how a lot of people treat those who are underprivileged.
The social media has become a platform which does bring out such shocking incidents and has also at times worked as a driving force for change. Recently an image showing a housemaid in Indonesia being forced to sit and watch as a family had their meal at a restaurant, emerged on the internet.
In a country with a high number of domestic help in the workforce, this post showcases economic disparity and a dehumanising of underprivileged people. But the reaction shows a gradual change in the mindset.
