Anomalies of a system called India

Watching the recent events and inspired by the phrase "Anomalies of Indian Monsoon" which was a prominent CBSE question for my Class Xth exam. Jessica Lal case verdict has raised nation wide debate on the ineffectiveness of the Indian Judiciary. And its a recurrent phenomenon, when a big fish escapes the net. With witnesses turning hostile or lack of evidences or delayed justice, the so called "judiciary" denies the justice eventually. Even though questions are raised, everyone knows its the "perfect act of manipulation" that comes into play. No matter how many debates are organised on the news channels or how lengthy articles are written in the weekly magazines, in the end these events serve to provide the contents only. Another recent and ongoing event is the hit and run case and the black buck shooting case for Salman. Even though the cases have been running since a long time, every time some developments occur, we are made aware of it in details. With TV cameras showing the actor going through a crowded alley or trying hard to get past the reporters we are made sure that he should look guilty. No escape for him is what said by some social activists. Does it show the system being really competent in the actor's case? Is the actor less efficient than the Sharma's to manipulate the system? Is Mumbai police really more honest than their Delhi counterparts? Are the witnesses more safe in Mumbai than they are in Delhi? Does it show that the judicial and legislative capital has more powers than the financial capital? What's in a name, Wrong by any other name would harm the same. Manu Sharma and Salman Khan are both guilty. So also were many others who have escaped or were punished by the system. Just the size of the holes in the net have to be defined, so that persons wanting to escape "the long arms of law" be safe. So that the common man should know how to become uncommon. technorati tag: India
