Well today's post talks about a burning issue which I think does not get enough attention. It's about the enforcement of Law in India; be it traffic laws, municipal laws or whatever. I think you generally have the liberty to take the law for granted in India, at least as far as non-criminal activities are concerned, as long as no one objects. And no one usually does. For example, how many times have you lodged an official complaint against someone spitting on the roads, driving recklessly, playing the loudspeaker beyond the permissible time limit etc. Probably never. Because no one really wants to get involved in anything to do with the cops. But having said that, isn't is upon the cops to ENFORCE the laws ? I think it is. And I think it is time the cops started blaming all sorts of things from growing vehicles on roads, political pressure and the likes and started acting up. Legal punishment needs to serve as a credible deterrent to further acts of nuisance, and it's time we demand more discipline on the roads and in the society. It's time we demand that the cops do what they're expected to do. It's time to enforce - not our will..but our rights. Through my posts, I hope to bring people's attention on non-enforcement of laws in different spheres of life, both minor and major.
