Police and Policing

I am not talking about any extremist organization or about the members any banned outfit. This is the sad and unfortunate story of 'Law abiding' and lawfully organized group of armed men.In fact this group of powerful men proclaims that they are the protectors of law and saviors of people. Yes, I am here to speak out about Indian Police.They are identified easily with their uniform every where in the country.But the hidden arrogance in them cannot be identified easily. Perhaps people don't want to recognize their personality due to the fear.The responsibility of police is to maintain law and order and protect the people of the country. But it is observed for the last sixty years that they only work to protect the interests of the politicians, richer and fascists.

Recent observations of a bench of supreme court are very important to understand the modus operandi of the police and its anti human officials.In the name of encounter they have gunned down many people without any trial. If this is the case shall we have shut the whole Judiciary business. Police officers, on many occasions act as if they are responsible of delivering justice.

Recent comments of supreme court judges regarding the police's style of work are eye openers.As many departments of our nation require reforms the most famous and irresponsible department of police also need reforms.We have to look at bottom of the establishment of the department.Because the present policing establishment is based on the British act of police that was passed before independence.Gujarat and Andhra pradesh police was trageted by the supreme court for their alleged role in killing many people in the name of encounter.The encounters were proved false or fake recently.
