India has grown, developed and poised to soar up and up, but neethi and nyaya should also be provided to all

India is celebrating its 52nd Republic Day with various achievements and accomplishments denoting phenomenal growth in multiple spheres. We must be proud of the existence of the nation as one guarded entity amidst a multiplicity of diversities.

Around the time India achieved Independence, many other nations also got the same, but a lot of them have gone berserk with military rule or totalitarian regimes or namesake democracies.
But we have gone on drafting a glorious Constitution and adopted it to become a Republic in 1950.There were a lot of leaders who contributed to shaping up the Republic.

Some politicians may have gone on becoming selfish and corrupt, but that does not mean that the whole country is supporting them. The people at large want a corruption-free governance, but the regime is under the control of the mighty, always. And there should be efforts to cleanse the system from within. We cannot break the system and create chaos, for which the fight should be from within.

There are a lot of people the world over who would do anything for ensuring transparency. We do not know the intricacies of Julian Assange of WikiLeaks or the German bankman who are disclosing various secrets. Still the facts they present to the world attract a lot of attention, meaning the people everywhere want clean governance.

The other day a youth, Utsav Sharma, attacked Rajesh Talwar, father of Aarushi, on court premises. It was the same youth who had attacked SPS Rathore who was indicted in the Ruchika molestation case. From this it could be surmised that the youth believes that the system has failed in punishing certain culprits. His act is criminal, but suspicion would be created in the minds of the people about why punishment is eluding powerful people.

When the Republic grows older and stabilises further, rule of law should prevail in a better way. But the doubt is whether only the rich and powerful would get their sort of justice and the poor and the indigent are left to fend for themselves.
Definitely, there would be a higher form of justice which is divine would fall on those who bend worldly justice to their benefits.

I always have the inclination that those who dispense justice in this world in an indifferent way would be judged harshly by the Almighty. And teachers who deliberately trouble students, like giving marks lesser than what they deserve, would definitely get the curse of their wards and put to perdition.

The helpless who are taken advantage of by powerful people would suffer fire and brimstone in the bottomless pit, whatever be the Republic’s injustice to the lesser privileged. Those who enjoy and shout ha, ha over persecuting others and tormenting the just would meet with eternal damnation.
