Deviance paper There was a huge bomb blast in Mumbai, India. It was the biggest bomb blast in the history of India where more than 300 people died and 1400 were injured. The India is always known as a Hindu’ country. There are more Hindu people than other people. There was a conflict between Hindu and Muslim at that time. It happened on March 12, 1993, at 1:30 pm. There were 13 blasts inside Mumbai which happened between 1:03 pm and 3:40 pm. It was a result of Mumbai riots which was happened between 1992 to 1993 for 2 months. It happened between Hindu and Muslim and 575 Muslim and 275 Hindu dies at that time. After an attack, people got to know about …show more content…
There is a famous celebrity called Sanjay Dutt. He was also found guilty in this case. People found three AK-56 in his house. He also had some relation with the terrorist. He said that he did not do the bomb blast. He was outside of India at that time. He is a son of a respected family. His father was a well-known political leader. He also lives in Mumbai with his children and wives. He said he wanted to protect his family during Mumbai riots, so he kept those rifles. He was arrested in the airport while coming back to India from. He was in contact with Dawood family on a phone, so he was also considered as one of the attackers. He served in prison for five years. He is now free and living a peaceful with his family (Sanjay Dutt arms and ammunitions case: chronology of events). There are a lot of things happened in that incident. After that incident, Sanjay Dutt’s life, Ibrahim’s life, and people’s perspectives were also …show more content…
Labeling theory is also divided into primary and secondary deviance, stigma, retrospective and projective labeling. “Labeling theory is the idea that determines and confirmatory result not so much from what people do as from how others respond to that action” (Macionis J., John 182). We can see both primary and secondary deviance in this case. The primary deviance is breaking the norm which will not create a lot of problems. In this case, also Sanjay Dutt kept rifles inside his house, that is against the rule. He does not use those rifles to harm other people, so it does not cause a big problem. The bomb blast was a secondary deviance. Secondary deviance is what people do after they know they are already deviant. There was already a riot in Mumbai between Hindu and Muslim and after that, the reaction of this fight was bomb blast. The secondary deviance is normally repeatable and this bomb blast also happens in 13 places. There is also a stigma in the related person of this case. Stigma is when a person commits a crime then after many years also they will have negative images in the society. Now Sanjay Dutt is free and living a happy life. He is still a celebrity but now he is not getting work and respect in the society. After serving in a prison, people are still not considering him a good person. The Dawood also wanted to returned back to the country, but people still hate him. They will never forget his for that incident.
