Babble 016A
Police of my country is becoming private security for rich and power full. That is impression of Boodhooram. As a thumb rule to understand a civilization or society he prefers to look at police or policing. Paranoia of scarcity is root of corruption in common people. Consumerism is partner.
Family needs policing to maintain social order, it is said. Then what is policing? In family and society to run in order every member plays his/her roles and takes his/her share as the custom prevails. All members specially the dominants look after this is done. If someone takes more or less or if somebody neglects to execute roles etc policing is applied to observe the deviations, to check chaos created due to disturbances, family/society try to amend with the help of judgments.
Policing needs resources. Family or society makes its mind on amount to spend on policing. In modern society policing have to have a model code of delivery.
As a role of polices to shield/protect weak from bullies is perhaps non controversial. In India and perhaps many other countries police became body guards of power full. Those power full people create a society where bullies rules and weak left unguarded. Subsequently police became servants of power full people but weak people pay the salary. So Boodhooram with his tons of ignorance is talking about a new custom namely extortion ‘Raj’. Most funny thing is that ruling class who are supposed to create a Ram Rajya, are eager to flaunt those black cat body guards shamelessly, which is proof of their failure.
Occasionally good deeds of police are noticeable. But unless one is blind in mind, it is easily observed police as bullies. Indian Penal code 1891 is made for the occupier of the country. It is found fit, for ruling class of today, without change even in so called free India in 1991.
