Law-Politicians:Linked or Unlinked?

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

The question, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant expect in a picture book?

-Sir David Attenborough

Man has evolved from a simple food gather, innocent and less emotional actuality to a sophisticated fully emotional and also intellectual being.

In the process of this evolution he was able to build huge civilizations, cultures languages and huge system to check if everything is working as planned and that huge system he called it as ‘The Government."

So who takes care of the activities and functions of the Government? There are individuals who work to earn their daily bread and the portfolios a government can offer is very vast starting from the police sources to the hospitals to the rail road departments well the list is almost endless.

Also we must realize there is separate legal department the Government has, which deals with legal issues of the land in which the Government prevails and it is effective to all the people or citizens who reside there, let us discuss with regards to the laws and implementation of the same.

The system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties; is the definition of law as given in the chamber’s dictionary.

When we talk about the second part of the definition it says enforcing the law by the imposition of penalties, when I see this practical daily situations of this above sentence in India I feel there is not much implementation taking place.

So are we heading towards the evading of laws I think partially yes, I would agree we are always used to negative media, it is nothing but just covering all the sad and bad stories and almost not showing any positive stories, well why do they do that may be to get TRP (Television Rating Points) or some other politically influenced reason which I am not interested in knowing. But still considering the fact of negative media I still feel the legal system is failing in India at the implementation level, atleast media is a window which shows the average of the current situation.

And then there is this age old question: are our police force and our legal institutions politically influenced? Of course the answer is yes, even though there are good laws in India and also dedicated officers who are in the pursuit of enforcing law, there are still jockeys’ who are in between the system trying to control the strings from the grass root level till the roof, and these jockeys’ include big industrial tycoons, underworld goons, politicians and other mafias who have become for their own reasons examples poaching mafias, sand mafias and so on.

How do you think this will impact your daily life?

At first I would say it is a major system and legal failure and a constitutional failure where you are not able to enforce law, it leads to heinous crimes on wild life which is the wealth of every nation, bullying forest conservation officials by real estate mafias leading to habitat destruction and unbalanced distribution of population of animals leading to human animal conflicts.

Let us Save the wild before it is too late!

In this particular aspect the implementation part is very weak and at the cost of a habitat and a whole eco-system! The people who celebrate when they bully an officer or kill an innocent animal or physically and verbally assault officers, and laugh like demons don’t worry one day you will not be alive at the rate at which you are  destroying the forests! For smuggling, land grabbing and so on.  

The most impacted areas are the villages and the under privileged who are known to be exploited all the time by the babus by luring them into treats for votes.

Urban people are also impacted chain snatchers, shop lifters and vehicle lifters walking free even after being caught in police stations only because a superior got a call from some so called political leader to release him! What a tragedy.

The solution

I see is there should be a clear disconnection between police force and political elements, police force should have separate budget like military and should be considered as a separate institution like soldierly. There should be swift execution of our laws and no middle men should be left near to intervene in this process.

The convicts of what so ever crime should be given capital punishment and for horrendous crimes like man slaughter, rapes, wild life destruction I think there would be no less than a death sentence!

Let us all unite together in this movement and join hands in making India a more law abiding nation and making it a crime free society and fighting for the cause to save our last remaining wildlife! Which would prove that we are worth to be called intellectual beings?

Thanks a lot for your time have a nice day ahead!
