Why Are You Fighting Guys
As I was away for two days enjoying the festival and looking at great art, I also encountered some troubling acts and situations on my trip which I think I should share with my people and have a say in that serious matter.
What Happened?
As it was a big Festival for us and it was feeling like everyone was out of their house after a long time, roads were filled with a big crowd and so transportation in a 5-10km radius of the destination of Puja Pandal was not allowed. You can reach that place on walking only. Though most of the destinations were 1-2 km max to reach, a nice exercise for our body, haha.
So while returning from our visit we encountered a very troublesome incident. We were in our car. Saw two people taking one guy as if he had stolen something and while we could grasp the situation they started beating him in front of our car, and in just 5 seconds of that fight, one guy picked the brick on the road and hit him hard with the brick on his forehead. We immediately stopped the car and went to stop them until the crowd gathered. I and my friends immediately throw the brick and both the guy who was beating him were staring daggers at us, until then a girl probably of age below 22 came and tried to take the beaten guy away from them. And then one of the guys picked the girl's hair and was about to throw a punch at the man while the other person was trying to keep us busy. Until then one old man from the crowd slapped that guy hard 3 times who was harshly holding the girl's hair.
Until this time the man who was beaten recovered and this time he was the one to throw punches at them. I realized the two people who ganged on the one were drunk. And till then a huge crowd arrive and we stopped the fight.
It was a different state for us so we didn't want to involve ourselves and hesitated about what to do and soon the crowd take over the matter we withdrew ourselves from that place but one of our body friends wanted to know the matter and so he followed the crowd. Soon Police arrived as in every Puja Pandals, heavy security was appointed so they weren't far away to reach.
The Real Reason
After 10 minutes he came back, we were angry at him as it was 1 a.m and we had to cross the state border also. He came and told us the real reason why such fight happened. The man was the boyfriend of the girl and the two people beating him were his brothers, lol. Now you can grasp the situation. Still, I will let you know the full scenario. Both the man and the girl went to enjoy the festival as a couple, I am saying man because he seemed above age 30 to me and don't doubt on my eyes and instinct. And their brothers saw him and most likely they don't accept him or such relation on top of that they were drunk.
Who's At Fault Here?
Everyone, including their families. This scene never have happened if either the couple would have visited the place at a different time or the brothers would have. India is still a developing country and generally, families still do not accept love marriages here because most of the time the couples are either too young or not financially independent and end their marriage after 5-10 years. And this doesn't mean arrange marriage is safe, people suffer a lot in those marriages if they get the wrong partner. It seems the girl can't peacefully get courted by the young man on their family's watch, so what she will do? Possibly run away from her house in the future ditching the backup she had.
After that, the family will likely remove any ties with her and won't help her further in life which can backfire her in the future also.

Final Thoughts
People should clear misunderstandings and relations like this while sitting and sipping tea and coffee, not by fighting on the roads. This isn't a solution rather it creates more problems. The world's system is changing and so people have to.
The brothers intend to protect the sister while doing harsh acts to stop her from having any relationship like that. I think everyone was at fault there, lol such a messy situation. And guys beware of drunk people they can attack you with anything they see.
I'm thinking what if they had guns, lol. Sometimes it's better to stay out of such situations.
If they had fought after we have crossed them, I wouldn't have stopped the car but the scene happened infront of our eyes, and I and my friends acted on our instict to save the beaten one. But literally apart from removing the brick we didn't did much. The old man's entry was the turning point, haha. After that the crowd handled the situation.
