Defunct Indian System

 

I was in the train reading the Times of India the other day, I do it every day while traveling to work, a routine I been accustomed to, along with having my breakfast, a cheese toast sandwich I put together before I leave. There are a few shift glances I give, as the train stops at every station, to watch people fill up the compartment just like me, trying to make an honest living in a somewhat dishonest world.

 

One particular article got my undivided attention. The Chief Justice of India stated that it’s not their fault there is a back log of cases pending in courts across India. - whose fault is it, mine ? I tired goggling this back log issues on the net, excuses like “case backlog to blame for increase in assaults ...”, “CJ-designate finds fault in 'Law' for backlog of cases”, “Backlog of cases in our courts is disturbing” were flooded on my screen.

 

I happen to approach the law for numerous issues, looking for justice, issues like theft; cheque bouncing and property issues were a few. I live in a family that is into businesses and issues like this kept propping up from time to time.

 

We have paid our taxes and have been citizens of good order in India, however, when it came to looking for justice, we were in rude shock, that this system is a cruel run business on its own.

 

Looking for justice in India is like looking for a diamond in a heap of garbage - its unlikely there. Justice delayed is justice denied? If it holds weight, than perhaps, we as Indians have been denied our first Rights that this country has promised us.

 

What should a person like me do? Rebel?! Should I join the Naxals or Simi or other regional so called terror groups and bring the government down, like it happened in Libya, now in Syria ? Would the government that upholds the so called justice system, bring down its hands of justice onto me, when it denied me my own justice in the first place?

 

Should I join a political group and try to bring a new change, which would it be?  Congress? They are under a heap of corruption, or the BJP with its communal tag that lingers with the RSS. Maybe the AAP, they seem like a bunch of attention seeking individuals, who love the streets more than their offices.

 

I still don’t have the answers to my thoughts, but here is what I know, I have been denied my rights to live in a free country, I have been denied to fend for my family in an honest way, I have been denied everything because people with no empathy toward their own countrymen run this country. 

 

There is the super rich businessmen and there is the super rich politicians and in between there is the super rich film stars who entertain us all , making the stupid of this country live in a make believe world, that everything is alright.

The country is run by the uneducated supporting the corrupt, this is my perception. Let’s look at Mumbai city, where the slums make up the majority of the city’s population. They vote for the people who promise them free houses or legalize their illegal stay and they get what they want.

How can one expect the city to improve when there is so much wrong and so little Right to fight against it ?

 

We are fed with posters of successful Indians living abroad, flashing their pictures like they are Indian citizens. I guess its given hope to the hopeless that there is hope in being an Indian Citizen. The fact is, they left this country and threw away their citizenship into some deep sea, they no longer wish to ever come back, the likes of preet bharara, Kalpana Chawla, Satya Nadella and the many others are not Indians. 

 

Our Indian system is a defunct puppet show, that Arnab Goswami entertains us at every news hour.

 

I speak, because I am forced too, that this very institution has been corrupted by an infectious disease. I look for a leader for deliverance, just like a slave would for freedom.

I look for a change, just like the oppressed would, in times of torment. I disown the judicial system, just like a son disowns his abusive Father.

I wish my voice could be heard, its the same voice, a voice of screams for justice, a voice of people calling out for their rights. I wish it will be heard, this voice was there before I was born, I am just resonating it.
