The law enforcing agencies are somewhat incapable to protect the vulnerable which was very much evident in case of Gujarat riots.

We as a country are passing through a transition phase both politically and economically and we need to be glued to our basic dictates as laid down in our constitution. Apathy to the Commonwealth Games (or should I rephrase it as Conmen Wealth Making-games) scams , the 2G spectrum scam and so on could encourage more massive misappropriation of public funds, with major implications for the economy. And there is a definite need to pressurize the investigating agencies so that the guilty are brought to book.

It is unfortunate that the whistle blowers are demoralized into silence or actually liquidated at times. Attacks on witnesses and accused persons lodged in jails have become too common to provoke public annoyance or media consideration. The law enforcing agencies are somewhat incapable to protect the vulnerable which was very much evident in case of Gujarat riots. Even The Rights guaranteed by the constitution and which are supposed to be inherited free of cost are bought and sold like a virtual commodity, it is a common knowledge that to register a complaint at any police station ,it will have to be backed by an illegal payments, leave aside the follow up action which further entails expenses at times beyond a victims reach making the whole process affordable only to the rich and elite class. Hence monetary constraint of victims turns the entire law awarding process “tipsy turvy” with victims as accused, and the oppressors as aggrieved and by all means and standards this is shameful state of affairs after six decades of self rule.

My greatest regret is that we have not been able to build a popular opinion in favour implementing police reforms, that is a well trained, handsomely paid, unbiased & autonomous police force which will be an an ideal towards which every democracy should work. But unfortunately even after years this merely remains an impractical and unachievable theory limited to books, which is a tragedy that continues to bedevil us all.

Although the Supreme Court has ordered reforms from time to time but they are either delayed or partially implemented, but then giving up the fight against the oligarchy of the political class is again an easy option I desist and deny…
