Systemic police persecution points to a greater system failure. A Police reform is 60 years overdue. In 2004 Dr Singh spoke of administrative reforms. Where is a scent of that? This case will die down in a few weeks. Then what? No one knows what is happening to the Rizwanoor case in Kolkata,for example.<br /><br />3. Reading of almost daily scandals or corruption cases one wonders if the state/law is already defeated in India, especially against people of influence. I would like to know out of every complaint what %-age are charged; out of that in how many the courts take cognizance of and out of that in how many the authorities secure conviction! As cases take 30/40 years, the government may have 1960s data, if we are lucky. <br /><br />3. My point is the law needs to be effective and must seen to be effective. For that if we need to reduce the burden of proof, so be it. <br /><br />4. It is shameful how even a school did the bidding of the powerful. It is actually scary to think of the degree of persecution, the crudeness, brazenness and with seeming impunity with which all the acts were done! <br /><br />5. It's an outrage. The tragedy is in India it is common.sdsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-89891668004766544662009-12-27T08:53:01.394+05:302009-12-27T08:53:01.394+05:30Superb piece.

You have rightly analysed the role of all stakeholders in ensuring that such scumbags get let off. <br /><br />It just pains to see the debate on the urgent need for police reforms is going on and on with no tangible breakthrough in sight. Sometimes I wonder if it is the police that is scuttling the reforms and not the politicians...<br /><br />- SudhirSudhirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632812250837859508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-81716540553480932982009-12-26T20:46:05.465+05:302009-12-26T20:46:05.465+05:30क्या सीबीआई ने आत्महत्या के लिए मजबूर करने वाली धा...क्या सीबीआई ने आत्महत्या के लिए मजबूर करने वाली धारा आरोप पत्र में लगाई थी ?<br />इसी पवित्र गाय ने बनारस के संरक्षण गृह में प्रभावशाली लोगों द्वारा यौनाचार के मामले को खत्म किया।<br />मीडिया के सहयोगी रुख के बावजूद मऊ की महिलाओं के शराबखाना विरोधी आन्दोलन में पुलिस द्वारा यौन अत्याचार का मामला NHRC के जांच कर्ता (जो मऊ के एसपी के प्रान्त का था)ने खारिज कर दिया था।<br />महिला उत्पीड़न की जांच में महिला जांचकर्ता रखनी होंगी।<br />NCW तो नख-दन्त विहीन है । पहले उसे मजबूत करना होगा।अफ़लातूनhttp://kashivishvavidyalay.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-34256314135002640182009-12-26T19:51:00.451+05:302009-12-26T19:51:00.451+05:30While I mostly agree, I beg to differ on point #9....While I mostly agree, I beg to differ on point #9.

What riles us to the core, more than actions of people like Rathore do, is the fact that the system shields them and the long drawn out process saps the energy out of most people who want justice. Most of the media currently, rightly so, is focused on this case, but will forget it soon when the next event comes along, only to wake up when another such injustice comes to light.<br /><br />To this extent, editors of major dailies, must at a meeting chalk out the demands to fix the system (like you did) in a time bound verifiable manner, and be the voice of the people to demand the change (not just voice a criticism). Serve notice on the administration and give an ultimatum if so required and mobilize people if the response is less than satisfactory. In short don’t let the focus slip. Success in this instance will serve as a blue print to action for more such fundamental repairs badly needed for our country, for which there is broad demand from people cutting across political lines.Dhavalanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-20322260772026476192009-12-26T13:56:15.453+05:302009-12-26T13:56:15.453+05:30Excellent article.
