Sadly, in India We are busy dividing people and scratching old wounds instead on focusing on issues that have an impact on the common man’s life - our own lives. Surprisingly, no one demands ; Rule of the law.
There is not a single country which doesn’t have an unpleasant History of wars, of subjugation, of deprivation; USA, UK, Japan, China, Germany, Italy, Switzerland …each one of them have historical grievances and many nations have one or more communities who might be carrying grouses and complains against the other. But by and large their politics worked to make peoples life better and that’s why they have prospered and are today developed, where millions of Indians have migrated and do not wish to return.
However, in India we find even after 70 years of independence we have not come to terms with our history. We have, despite our founding fathers making all efforts to move on ahead in life and look towards better future we are still stuck in our past and do not bother about the PRESENT. We love scratching and creating wounds.
The victim after being humiliated by the Police and Judiciary set herself ablaze before writing a “dying declaration” or the final complaint against the legal system, indicting the police and the judiciary for stripping her of dignity.
Just becoming a Three trillion or a Five trillion economy is not going to make life pleasant, unless the WE THE PEOPLE OF THE NATION demand from ourPoliticians to reform the entire Law enforcement system ; the Police, the investigation agencies and the Judiciary.
Such incidents tarnish the image of the society as well as the Nation and No amount of shouting lungs out that We are an old civilisation and a cultured society is going to help till such incidents keep taking place regularly in our cities.
Its high time we focus on our PRESENT that will surely make our Future Better, instead of Past that will ruin our Present as well as Future. In this regard attention is drawn to the previous article ;
