Protestors

People usually mind their business and do not bother what happens or what is going in other persons life unless there is a strong relation or connection. In today's connected world, the neighbours may have spoke to each other, but people remain in touch with people far away. This is the trend of the modern society or the modern civilizations. We are far away yet very near, and very near yet far away. The reason is that people are busy with their own set of worries and have no time for others lives, unless they are into gossiping. There gossip mongers are the essential connections between the lives of various people. Few housewives, the maids who work at the homes at various houses in today's soceities are the status updaters. This was continuing from very long times, the status updating in some form or other.

The people who usually are not mindful of other people's problems, suddenly come to the streets and hold placards and stand in sun or in the night is a indication that things are not as they are supposed to be. Whether the people are paid to do so or they have come on their own or also with a little push is different matter. Usually when a political party is involved in the protests the latter cases may be in point. But when a horrific incident like a gangrape of women on the capital of the country takes places and the people from all walks of life coming together for a common cause is a sure shot work of not a political party. The emotional connection between the people has been done and the anger gets multiplied in a group and the protesters may go violent.

What the government should do? Recently in Mumbai there was a rally by a minority community against atrocities against their religious people in some neighbouring country. The rally turned violent, the police beaten, press beaten, and monument of national importance was damaged in the course of rally. The police didnot charge any lathis, no water cannons, no tear gas, etc. when a fool named Baba Ramdev, protested in a 5star range, in Delhi, at night the police evacuated all the people by using Ramdev should fear Media more than he fears the God. Also now the police is evacuating and using mild force dispersing the protestors, because the protests are being carried out against our government of the majority, for their inaction to do justice for our fellow citizen.

If the prosters are gong on a rampage and killing one another, then Governemnt and the media think of telling the protestors to come to talks. The media may sit in their AC rooms and tell the people to maintain peace. With a large scale voilence about burst, with no option left if police fires at the peopel real bullets instead 

of rubber bullets, then it is a pogom, holocoust. The government should have announced peace talks in such a situation. There is big industry which works on some skewed agenda funded by unknown sources. If the protestors are peaceful, force is used and if the protestors are violent then police maintains calm. When both people act it is called a pogom or mass murdering or a holocoust in our country.

Our media houses, doesnot count the death of a soldier, police as equivalent to the injury of people of some particular caste, region. The lives of minorities are more priority than others put together. But the questions that is never discussed why should in a democratic country, a MP doesnot talk what the people want. People have to demand answers from elected respresentatives, and donot want as per the requirement. When the MPs is supposed to cast his vote, he walks out. Whether what we have is a democracy is highly questionable, with nobody willing to take action for the fear of being punished by the Media Morons. But luckily if you are from wealthy back ground and if you have paid at the proper locations you may be protected and even may be projected the way you want.

When protesters come out to the streets and demand justice, what other work f**king the parties have, than to come out and talk to the people. The power center of this country doesnot want to issue a statement, but talks when son-in-law is accused. Since Delhi is not her constituency and hence powercenter is not responsible for the citizens. Since Delhities have given more votes to BJP in the municipal elections, they have suffer as a punishment for not falling in line with the party in power at the State level. If this is the mentality of the current government, then there is no wonder the "Cash for Votes" scheme being implemented hurriedly through UDAI "Direct Cash Transfer" is highly useful. Yuvraj also claimed that this scheme(scam) will bring the party to power for the next two general elections

This is what happens when people sleep for very long times, and worry about their own families and be in their own worlds. The divide that is happenning in the society, the imbalance, the injustice will all come out in various forms. This rape is just one form and mere laws donot help, but its implementation is requried. Since many of the MPs are having some or other cases related women, the law for sexual harassment will take a very long time to draft, because all the powerful politicians and their kith, kin all have to protected and all theirs cases should be able to escape through the loopholes of the law that is drafted.

I hope very little action will result in the end, because we as a nation forgot to respect women on a day to day basis. For quite a few these protests are way venting

a anger and being part of the fun.

Lawless - World's Largest Democracy

Some scriptwriter of the movie The Great Debaters has told, "An Unjust law is no Law at all". 

Everytime there is a crime scene usually the victim if he/she is alive is questioned to no end, and if unlucky he/she is questioned repeatedly to ascertain the facts and get all the possible details. But in due to course of time, that law in our country takes, the investigation is handed to bigger agencies and more Q&A sessions. Then if everything goesright, then a FIR is lodged on unknown persons name and the hunt begins and after a long time(usually very long time) the criminals are arrested, if they are not roaming publicly and giving TV interviews all the while. 

Ancient people of this country and many places of the world told that, the punishments for the powerful should be more stringent than to the less powerful. The effect that it will cause will be much more. If a pickpocketer and a MP accussed of theft are given the same amount of punishment, what does the MP or the pickpocketer fear for. Luckily both doesnot never get punished as one gets to repeatedly postpone the case, and the other pays the bribes for not getting caught. Many times we have heard stories that the theft in powerful people's houses is closed immediately because of the close links between the police and thieves.

One month back we had news about a youth threatening to hijack a plane, but the alert passengers have gained upper hand and the suspect is handed over to the police. During the course of Law it was proved that the person was mentally unstable, and no media doesnot want to highlight this case. This is a serious issue and the responsible agent of the democracy has been irresponsible. Some may say the person was a muslim and hence the issue was diverted, but its validity needs to be checked and the current status of the person noone knows. Whether the mentally unstable person is undergoing treatment or he is roaming around to do more hijacks etc.

Everytime police does an encounter, sometimes out of necessary and at others due to misjudgement or other political reasons, a huge human rights activists are visible on the national TVs and their endless debates goes on and on. Similarly when a women is raped we have debate on TV on what is the reason for such behaviour, what punishment should be given, etc. The justice is delivered on the TVs and people have come to believe that our courts also follow the same and people tend to forget the issue. But the courts donot work as fast as our media houses does and which also have their own compulsions like the TRP, politicial, religious, economical compulsions for the type judgement they pronounce.

The justice delivery system which is supposes to uphold the rights of the citizens because the legistature and bureaucracy has failed drastically. But the judiciary is too much in sync with the legislature. Everyone wants to have a share of the growth story of the Independent India and those in power are never willing to lose the share come what may. The Institutions which have failed this nation are the Assemblies and Parliament for all the 6% GDP growth for a few powerfully rich. For, the common man has been struggling with the same issues throughout the time of Independent India.

Reforms, price rise etc are taken on a war footing, because this will yield more money to the parliamentarials whose wealth keeps increasing. The reforms on judiciary, women's bill, Police etc are collecting dust and which are in the interests of the common man are not accorded much importance. In a country where the national resources are given at the whims an fancy of the ministers who take the share of the profits that are earned, if luckily, doesnot bother about the common man. Now a rape of a 23year old in the national capital has gathered limelight, but it will just another day's work for the police. There are somany cases the police have to bother, and if too much pressure is exerted, then the rights activists quickly point out the number of police/citizen is below the international standards and other bullcrap.

The cultural ethos have vanished from the urban, rural areas. Respect for the fellow citizens is fast diminishing. Anger, helplessness induced fearlessness has crept the mind of a many. Media is feasting on the deaths, tragedies of the common man. Government is busy holding its position with behind the scenes manipulations using money and other agencies. 

And we proudly call ourselves World's Largest Democracy.
