How to balance the equation?

Among all the news covered about the celebrations of the people for the murders done by the cops in Telangana, I wonder why it has been done? And what else could be done?

Whatever be the punishment it should be given by the legal system ! If a law is created then it is equal for all invariably! People should trust the rule of law that it will serve justice to them. But this act of encountering the accused before they were proved guilty shows that the legal system is incapable of serving justice.



Is this act balanced?

We see people welcoming the move but I question is the move equal to all offenders?

Here the accused were very backwards and that is why the police killed them easily, could they do it everywhere? If yes why didn't they do it in Pollachi gang rape issue and Unnao rape and murder issue?

We hear the police neglecting an attempt rape case from a victim saying "come after you were raped". Now the problem is the enforcement of the law! In the Disha case, the police first refused the file FIR siting jurisdiction as a reason without even knowing about the "Zero FIR"

Is the human rights commission right?

The human rights commission (NHRC) took suo-motto against the police who encountered the accused. But what did it do against the rapist who brutally raped and murdered a woman? The functions of NHRC is to see govt doesn't violate the human rights of the citizens but who will ask if a citizen violates the rights of others?

Getting rid of this

How shall we end the women abuse in the country? Shall we put fear among the people? Should we give capital punishment? Teach a male child? Create a law?

Should capital punishment be given is debatable. My opinion is it should not be because every liberated country in the west doesn't give capital punishment but how they get rid of this crime? There are many facts that save women abroad. A report says good lighting conditions in the streets of a State reduces the crime rate! So we should work on that aspect, not on the barbarous side!

People should be educated especially the youth. They should respect men and women and their feelings too.

The solution is liberating and rationalising the people!

Creating strong and violent laws to stop heinous crimes is so barbarous. We should take the opposite side of educating people, creating a safe environment for women eg: Kavalan - SOS App ( cops arrive in 5 mins of your call )

THE BLOOD BEHIND THE BEAUTY - FOETUS IN COSMECEUTICALS

This article is written by inspiration from the movie “Yashoda” starring Samantha, until watching it, I hardly would have thought the link between fetus  and cosmeceuticals. Aftermath of the movie, curiosity peeped in, to know the truth value of facts shown on the screen. So, here is my perception about the film (Yashoda) concerning utilization  of fetus  in beauty creams. What has been shown in the movie? An institute called Eva, braced by the Central Minister and his associates which targets poor women for making them as surrogates (by fulfilling their monetary needs) to celebrities and huge barons of the society. When those women successfully complete their first trimester, they are handed over to the reticent institute, through the assistance of local hospitals wherein they are sumptuously taken care with all the facilities, but those women are getting widely disconnected from the outside world. Once, they reach their third trimester, they are induced with false p...

சமூக நீதி - அரசியல் பிரதிநிதித்துவம்

சுயமரியாதை இயக்க பிரச்சாரமே சமூக மாற்றத்தை ஏற்படுத்த போதுமானது என்று பெரியார் நம்பிக்கொண்டிருந்தபோது ஆட்சி அதிகாரம் மூலமாகத்தான் சமூக மாற்றத்தை உண்டாக்க முடியும் என்று அண்ணா அரசியலில் இறங்கினார். சமூக மாற்றமே (social change) சமூக நீதியை (social equity/ justice) அடைய உதவும். நீதி கட்சி முதல் திராவிட கட்சிகள் வரையிலான சமூக நீதிக்கான பயணத்தில், கல்வி வேலை வாய்ப்புகளில் இட ஒதுக்கீடு, வாழ்வாதார மேம்பாடு என பல திட்டங்கள் பிற்படுத்தப்பட்ட மக்களுக்கு வெகுவாக சென்றடைந்தது. ஆனால் இவை ஒடுக்கப்பட்ட மக்களுக்கும் சென்றடைந்ததா, அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கை தரம் உயர்ந்ததா என்று பார்த்தால் பிற்படுத்தபட்ட மக்களுக்கு கிடைத்த நன்மைகள் ஒடுக்கப்பட்டோருக்கு கடத்தப்படவில்லை என்பது தெளிவாக தெரியும். இதற்கு நிலவுடைமை, சமூக மூலதனம் (social capital) ஆகியவை முக்கிய காரணம். இதை பற்றி S நாராயன் IAS, வாஜ்பாய் ஆட்சியில் Finance  Secretary ஆக இருந்தவர் அவரின் புத்தகத்தில் (The Dravidian Years) குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார். இதன் மூலமாக கல்வி மற்றும் வேலை வாய்ப்புகளில் கிடைக்கும் இட ஒதுக்கீடு மட்டும் ஒடுக்கப்பட்டோரின் வாழ்க்கை தரம் உயர ...

Protectionism

In a major setback for the Haryana government, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Nov 17, 2023 struck down a state law mandating 75 per cent reservation for locals in private sector jobs, calling it "unconstitutional". While stating that private employers cannot be forced to employ persons from a particular state, the court, in its order, underlined that discriminating against individuals based on their state would be negative treatment against other citizens of the country. I have discussed the Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2020 in the perspective of problems due to protectionism in the article dated July 10, 2020. I have advocated that these kind of protectionist laws are irrational as it infringes fundamental rights of the citizens and rights and liberty of the corporates and private companies too. Im glad that the High court pronounced a judgement striking down the law as it is unconstitutional. Excerpts from Protectionism and Reverse migration, July...
