HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE??????

I honestly am beginning to get a little tired and wary of highlighting and exposing the shenanigans of self styled lotharios who have come to believe that committing a sexual atrocity against a seemingly defenceless woman is their birthright and exposing the misdeeds of corrupt and indifferent police officials and callous systen that has come to believe that pleasing it's political lords and masters is it's primary objective and the common man can go to hell as far as they are concerned.......


But then, somebody's got to bite the bullet and expose all the filth, dirt and muck churned up by our so called progressive and evolving society, so do continue to call me boring, obnoxious, pretentious, sensationalist or any other epithet that you can think off, the same is like water off a duck's back as far as I am concerned, somebody's got to get down into the filth and muck and get his hands dirty; so why not me.......

In the first instance, the family members and other good intentioned fellow citizens who were vociferously protesting against the police inaction and apathy towards the plight of a six year old minor who was allegedly sexually assaulted before being strangulated by her assailants were brutally attacked by a marauding bunch of policemen in full public view as well as the glare of television as well still cameras......

The six year old went missing early on Wednesday morning and her corpse was later discovered some distance away from where she lived, the finding of the body lead to a few people gathering outside the police station and raising their collective voices in protest against the callous and indifferent police who had steadfastly refused to register a missing complaint as is their wont........

In the second instance of police brutality, a 43 year old woman Kuljeet Kaur was not only brutally attacked by police personnel but also unceremoniously disrobed in a village 20 kms away from Amritsar District in Punjab........

Ms. Kaur was on her way to deliver essential medicines and other life saving drugs to her husband/spouse Satinderjit Singh on Wednesday night when the deplorable and condemnable incident occurred.......

This incident comes in the wake off a similar incident in Punjab's Tarn Taran district where a woman who was imploring the police officials to initiate action against her assailants and stalkers was brutally beaten up by a group of police constables ans sub inspector who was leading the assault on the hapless woman.......

What really gets one's goat and is a cause of concern is the fact that this disease or malady is not restricted to the two above mentioned states, but is a pan Indian phenomenon......

I for one have seen the Hyderabad police officials displaying similar obnoxious behaviours towards women and teenagers on more than one occasion and have also come across such instances being recorded or perpetrated in police stations exclusively manned or policed by lady constables and higher ups........

Humanising the police force, freeing the police forces from the clutches of their avaricious political overlords and accountability of the police for it's actions as well as inaction is the crying need of the hour, the Supreme Court has recently taken suo moto cognisance of this undeniable fact and asked the respective state governments to revert back with status reports about the present state of police reforms and independence of the police force within their respective state boundaries, this is the only concrete development on the ground that holds out the semblance of a better future for the common man vis a vis the police force and it's political overlords and masters, so let's see where all this leads.........
