Everyone already knows that the Indian judicial systems is weak and any prosecution or dispute resolution takes forever. This pathetic state of affairs often causes people to take the law into their own hands and leads to lawlessness.
Now instead of strengthening the judicial process, the politicians are doing their best to dismantle it. Last week the Prime Minister came out against the judiciary and warned them about interfering with the political process. Just yesterday political parties broke into the offices of newspapers and tv channels and thrashed them...why? Why not respect the law? If you have a grievance with someone, take it up in court. Political parties are bypassing the law by taking the law into their own hand and keeping the judiciary weak by starving it of funds.
Is this anyway to build a safe and secure India? No it is not. Law and civil resolution is the foundation of civilised society... they were created so that instead of beating up and shooting each other, one goes to a court and gets relief.
Comeon politicians, strengthen the judiciary.

This is a great blog. I also note it has a lot of overlap with a new online magazine you might be interested in: Asia Sentinel.
The Sentinel covers politics, business, and culture in Asia, with in-depth news and analysis from some of the region’s most experienced journalists. I hope you’re interested in checking it out: www.asiasentinel.com.
Many thanks,
Hamish
