Good points PK, It is difficult to strictly enforce any law in a big democracy like India. I know a good IPS here, he was a former DIG of Hydrabad. He used to tell how hard it is in the profession. He often used to get “transfers”. What can one do if there is a hole in the middle ? I always believe reform should come from the root. Trying to close the hole in any other place than the root will only make it to appear in some other place.

Good thoughts PK.Do u remember the flash back court scene in “Anniyan” where Nedumudi Venu lists the people who are all should be punished? We should have a law system that deals with the core of a problem.Obviously that should be implemented

there is still some hope..the invisible minority will carry the torch…lack of discipline is the main concern and also that the law favours only the rich….

sometime back,

the police cracked down on RTO office across the state. can anyone go on a fast for a raid in an RTo office?
well at least no one did.

straightaway bihar, laloo laam thirundhanum na thirundhaaddhu.

make states which are already good even better. slowly start moving towards real issues. by that time u can build a sizeable public opinion.

sehwag ada vanda udane bowl poanna McGrath kupduviya or new spinner kupduviya?

it took 50+yrs for india to rot. recovery is also going to take some time.

there are clearly some areas, where law if it can be enforced, will bring a visible change.

believe me, there are N number of good police officers. traffic eduthukko, seargent niruthina stop pannraanga, fine potta katraanga. it hurts. they crib. but still they do. most of the guys go. my point-is make it strict and fair.make it zero tolerance. routine measures olunga panninaale 50% lawlessness kurayum.

i talk abt crime and lawlessness bcos there are no grey areas in it. first adhai handle pannina, we can stretch it to all walks of life in due course.

if u go against a corrupt hi fi big politican first thing, u will be tranferred.

if u ask me, for the sake of greater common good, i will not put down my life. but if it will require a few hrs of waiting, a few simple punishments i’d take.
i had taken it.i can support someone enforcing the law. at least i wont disturb anyone.
i am not alone. there are lot of guys like u and me who want do that. but its just that we might look stupid in these days.
So we dont follow the rules.
there is always a first time. afterwards it bcomes a practice, a tradition.

this is the way it works.

dont be under the impression that if we join politics or if someone really good comes india will change.

first point, if some one enters without a strategy and perpsective, he will be sucked into the system no matter how good he r she is.

A strategy, a history of how things have been reversed elsewhere can be really helpful.

i have assumed that there are eager people like u and me who are in positions of power and who are frustrated. I think by and large thats a fair assumption.
they can impplment small changes for hughe better results.
