4 April 2013: Considering upcoming elections, it sounds like a politician + paid media show-off over the shameful rape of toddlers and women among many other similar disgusting acts. If they are really serious or NOT can only be proved few years down the line! Hope the well-off, elite female activists who are emitting high decibel bytes have some real social meaning rather than taking side of one party or another for incentives – covertly or overtly.
Now, coming to justice. Forget ₹2000 bribed by those security assholes to victim’s family (Operation लाभार्थी cum “Har Ghar Divide to Rule”), you will be surprised to know a fact that some well-connected lawyers can charge thousands of rupees per hearing of few minutes per day depending on the pockets of client rather than merits of a case or what fees they actually deserve. Like media agents, sarkari babus (lucky 3% govt employees) and capital pros, such money-sucking immoral advocates or lawyers are abundant near any court, though they are no less than extortionists, but who cares? Much before a real judgment, a common person can guess who will get a biased justice and for whom it will always be expedited, reserved, delayed or denied!
Police, investigative officials, karyakartas and politicians are reacting as usual. Some for the limelight, some keeping viral propaganda for upcoming elections in mind but most commoners (95%, non-govt non-लाभार्थी) with genuine concern. While some demand action to improve the security of “girl child, daughters, sisters and mothers”, some others say “hang the rapists” and impose our or president’s rule.
Looking at the type of governments we have now-a-days, it is no wonder security forces are fearlessly marching behind them. That is corrupt, non-functional, incompetent and most important, useless. Also, one wonders why the well-to-do security agencies are not yet motivated, trained and equipped to deal with such situations and punish only those guilty, who normally wakes-up after people revolt and lose faith in police, govt, leaders, executives, security agencies, votes and eventually judiciary and democracy itself. A short answer is they spend most of their daily duty time looking-out and plotting for more notes from as many innocent commoners, criminals and non-voters as possible! Add to it our popular cinema, TV Series, App hypes, vulgar adverts, politics and main-cream media who are notoriously manipulative, reacting to the gallery, and as always with a lot of tantalizing gimmickry for TRP / investors’ ROI.
The big question is, can police and/or CBI ensure justice to real culprits? Roam around streets of any city which are hijacked by policewalas with barricades erected and safety checks done on the poor motorists during office hour. Real intention is not traffic safety but something else. Ask the same personnel to report as soon as possible for a distress call of a victim, the agility they show while checking for helmets, docs or PSU certificates will vaporize. They not only mess up their duty outside but also make a hara-kiri of their in-office behavior. If hospitality is taken into account, even the Talibanis might file a case in international court to exonerate them of any false accusation on their ‘worst in the world’ unruly behavior towards the visitors. In fact, at times, one feels law and order has got nothing to do with police force. Maybe it the reverse!
One more great quality of our police and security forces is that they are so pathetically predictable. How many times you have seen people getting away from serious traffic offenses by paying ₹100 note or worse at times even a bottle of soft drink, use this to extrapolate for serious criminal offenses? What is predictable here is the confidence in you to approach the police or investigator with an offer of bribe and more often than not coming out with flying colors. No wonder, some estimates say 25% of all the corrupt messiahs belong to police forces or babus. The force definitely deserves a big salute.
Boomerang Game: Few months back, modia दीवाने reported Internet / SMS suspension, tear gas, lathi charge, border sealing, counter riots and other muscle flexing acts to prevent farmers, commoners and sports people in विकसित North during their protests near power center, but similar acts in East are boiling some anti-social / anti-national bhakts and other opportunists?
So let us not let our flame of righteousness die before the necessities and practicalities of earning our living. We need to continue our protests for a more fair and just society – “need for a cultural renaissance is overdue for this country”. Currently trending election tweaks, vote jugaad and celeb performances are just ruling elite’s populism art without any real essence whatsoever!
