“Banana- Republics have Onion-like Judiciaries”



The countries that are governed by the culprits, criminals and the accused are ashamed to lay down laws that advocate hard punishments on crimes. The elected representatives do not care to spend time on making laws as they are interested in spending time in order to find ways to break the laws , which may already  have been framed and put into force. This means they slowly move from the law-makers to "law-breakers".
This practice takes some time to enter the social-psyche of the masses where if one does not break Laws one is NOT considered powerful. Which means one is forced to break laws so as to project oneself that one IS  really  "Powerful".
The masses also then start copying the powerful by breaking laws that are in force. The masses congregate, shouts, protests, organizes sit-ins, walks on streets, etc. so as to exhibit that they also have the power to break the laws and they are not given power to break them. Thus, we have a series of cases piling up in the Courts of Laws wherein everybody big or small is asked to come for “hearings. These hearings are just a presentation of exhibiting the power of the Courts. If somebody avoids the appearances in the Court the power is exercised by the Court to arrest the accused for the Contempt of Court , etc. and forcibly produced in the Courts.
The Courts are none other than a part of our Society and the judges are human beings representing the masses. They also want to break the laws if somebody breaks the laws in front of them. The Courts are fully, ignorantly and totally depended on the system of administration in order to- record the events, report the event, make investigations into the evidence , provide relief to the victims of crimes, arrange for the advocates, submission of the fees for litigation, medical relief for those hurt,  arrest the accused, send them to jail, release them from jail, get salary for their services, get pensions after they retire, get promotion on jobs, get  Awards from the Governments,  go abroad to learn from other countries, get concessions for their kids, get educations and training from the experts, meet the seniors to get experiences and to get into the nit-gritty of the cases they hear.
Courts do not  want to reform themselves as they consider themselves to be  “above the Law of the Land.  No body dare challenge them even inside the books of Laws,  the precincts and in the Media. They are not interested in reforming themselves but  yes they want others to change for them.

Where have we seen any Advocate providing us a receipt of the fees of consultancies with pucca-bills ? The men in the black coats have been generating the money which may be b...... They have certain standards of getting the undisclosed fees from their clients. These men in black coats can manipulate the electronic reporting of the Official websites of the honorable Courts . The list of un-Constitutional activities that are carried out inside the Courts is very long and we can never reach possible solutions here.
Today almost all the Prisons (Jails) are overcrowded, thanks to these Onion-like Courts. The conditions inside these present-day modern Jails are inhuman for all of us but they thrive mainly due to the justice delayed and the justice denied
The rate of persecutions is so low that years are spent in final conviction of the culprits. Who can be sure to live so long ? The  series of heinous crimes that are taking place is solely due to the illegal system of  Justice-delivery.

The crux of the matter is the Courts are – dependent.
They are neither independent nor are they  "free" . Thus how can we expect Justice?
When we have some case sub-judice to the Court  we can expect the case to be peeledand  the whole process will make us cry !
The participants and all those who are the part of a Court-case have nothing but tears in their eyes once a matter reaches any Court!!

These Onion-like Courts can only make you........Cry !!!
bah  .booo hooo.. hoooo

P.S. -    This article is written and shared as a blog of the Author who belongs to a minority community in India , with an intention to neither defame nor demonise the Courts but only intended to bring out the harsh experience of the Author in various levels of courts of India. The bad experiences need to be shared so as to make other weaker sections of the Society aware that these processes are the real hindrances to true democracy and equality in India.

If you think this is an imaginary ravings of the author of this piece beware that I personally  ( and my family members ) have been victims of such actions and have been suffering due these actions and in-actions of our System of delivery of Justice , time and again.

 All said and done, we will never get into the night side of the fight for  our Rights until the System of  Justice-delivery changes with the changing times.
If   this principle applies to our present day Courts, I would like to add here that those whosoever  will complain about me and this article will again reach a Court which will start peeling and they will also cry as they will be a part of the litigation,.... ha...ha... ha !

Make self- help Groups of Women a Milestone of development



Let me start by asking you a question, have you seen a small child who has just started to walk and is afraid of being asked the question from her parent –
“ Hey! Stop! Where are you running so fast, my child ?”.
The parents know that the child need to walk but fear of falling is also seen in the mind of parents .The fear of falling and being scolded by the parents may not be always lurking in the mind of the child , who might have just tried to walk.
In all the probabilities, we are in the same frame of mind when we ask this question –
 Why do we need to sustain the self- help groups of the rural women?

I am putting stress on the word  rural ” with special reference to the areas which has some or any of the following features in its socio-geographical make up :-

  • The place is at least ten kilometers away from the nearest town or city;
  • The majority of the people residing there are dependent or living from the incomes coming from agriculture;
  • The basic-infrastructure like bank, schools, marketplace, telephones, electricity , hospitals, shops and roads have a limited access ( whatever may this term mean to you ) to all the people residing there and
  • The history of not encouraging or discouraging the involvement of the women and children in any public or major events of this place is also to be considered in this environment.

When we are now thus clear as to what I mean by a rural area let us also look into the possible or probable reasons of the formation of the self- help groups in the areas falling under rural categories.

The reasons could have been the following: -

i.       Announcement through the various Panchayati or State government functionaries about the availability of the various schemes that can be accessed after forming a small groups of women as in the S.G.S.Y., etc.
ii.      The presence of any or many non - government organizations( N.G.O.s )  in the area which may be encouraging the formation of the self- help groups( S.H.G.s) for all the residents kinds ( women, men, youth and children) of the area ;
iii.     The encouragement attained after coming in contact with the like- minded persons in the locality who might have already formed these kinds of groups in the recent past and who must have been operating them practically well.

The Merits and demerits of ALL the above processes have long been debated and already been discussed by many experts on this subject hence, I shall leave it to the wisdom of the reader to decide as to which process is best suited for her area and knowledge for the practice for the formation of the self- help groups for women, in particular.
