         Anger, anger everywhere...

Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad is an angry man. And he got very angry when he was told that he could not travel business class. He got so angry that he repeatedly hit a 60-year-old duty manager of Air India with his sandals. Gaikwad, known for his strongman tactics, reportedly, “turned violent, broke the manager’s spectacles, tore his shirt, hit him with slippers 16-17 times.”

He, however, is not the only one who is angry. Anger and violence are today among the most dominant tools of expression — be it at workplace, personal or public life. You can find its expression everywhere — on Facebook or Twitter, where angry trolls are ready to lynch you as soon as there is some dissent; to anchors raising a storm on their TV shows; to neighbourhood fights over parking space; to increasing cases of road rage. 

The list is endless.

Sigmund Freud had said in 1914 that the “primitive, savage and evil impulses of mankind have not vanished in any individual, but continue their existence, although in a repressed state” waiting for “opportunities to display their activity.”

These primitive impulses are on display all around us: A 25-year-old businessman from Faridabad is shot in a road rage attack on his way back after attending a wedding in Delhi. Meanwhile, a minor tiff over parking space in Gujarat’s Bhavnagar area turns violent and a person is attacked with swords and hockey sticks. 

In another incident, a 26-year-old is abducted by some men from his house in Saketri, near Chandigarh. He is attacked with swords, then dragged by head first from a car for around a kilometre, and finally crushed under the wheels of the car. A fight during a cricket match is said to be the cause of this outburst. In yet another such case, a life is lost when a chief minister’s nephew is crushed under the wheels of a BMW following a brawl with some ‘friends’ after a party at the residence of a common friend.

While these are some extreme cases that resulted when this completely normal human emotion went out of control, one can find angry people all around us — they are there in supermarkets, buses, trains, airports, movie theatres, roads, restaurants, playground, workplace, neighbourhood and social media. 

According to psychiatrist Simmi Waraich, “Mankind’s aggressive instinct is very strong, though some people are able to suppress it. Today’s fast-paced and  and demanding life is making people impatient and pushing them over the edge. Pressures at workplace and home are reducing social interaction, especially among those living in cities. An urban life gives you an anonymity that makes it easier for you to displace your stress and anger on to others.”

Prof Sherry Sabbarwal, a sociologist, however, feels that stress and pressure are mere excuses to justify an aggressive behaviour. The problem, she points out, is that violence has been normalised. 

Children observe adults and behave accordingly. When they see their father beating up their mother or there are other violent members in the family, sooner or later, expression of anger becomes a reality for them, she says. Sometimes parents even encourage this abnormality by trying to shield their child’s violent behaviour. The problem is that the family is no longer an effective agency of social control. However, it is not just one agency that’s responsible for this deviation. Violence is basically a control issue — you first learn it from family, then you see it in school and later community. When you find violence is accepted all around, you internalise it thinking it is fine to be violent, she says. Also the situation becomes worse since there’s no accountability or fear of law. Till the time an effort is made at all levels to check anger and violence, there won’t be any change, she concludes.

Tips to manage anger

Be aware of your needs, emotions, and mistakes. Accept it when you are wrong. It will do you good. 

When angry, try to hold back and don’t react immediately.   

If you are a parent, be a role model to your child. Keep a check over your child’s aggressive behaviour. If needed, consult a psychologist.

Take out time to de-stress yourself. Meditate, exercise or go for a walk regularly. Develop a hobby, paint, dance or play a game.

Keep in touch with friends and family. Interact with neighbours. A good social behaviour helps in developing a sense of security.

Do social work and help spread smiles around you. If you have children, take them along so that they too develop a sense of compassion for others from an early age.

Scary statistics

The statistics of the National Crime Records Bureau present a grim picture.

Of the 3,35,901 cases of violent crime reported in 2015, 32,127 have been murders.

In the 8,57,995 cases of crimes against body registered under the IPC, injuries due to rash driving and road rage accounted for 52.6 per cent of such cases.
