The Brave Pedestrian

  Ordinary law-abiding folks are not aware that it is NOT considered a criminal offense to tell lies on websites or in public. It is not a CRIME to falsely call yourself a doctor or lawyer or builder, and it is not a crime to falsely claim professional or financial credentials for work that you haven't done. This leads many unwary citizens into money-traps, where they lose a lot of money. Please be careful.

Amazing how easily our courts grant stay orders, even to known criminals and offenders. if the right senior counsels appear, stay orders may be had for the asking! In this way, higher judiciary plays a big role in OBSTRUCTING IMPLEMENTATION of laws, rules etc, and enabling offenders to evade law enforcement agencies, "under cover of the judiciary's robe". Bravo, Milords! Why does Indian judges have such lax moral standards for granting a stay? Crooks take advantage of it!

Maharashtrian married women routinely use "Murdya" or "Melya" (meaning a dead man, a corpse) for referring to their husbands. For instance, if a man is demanding sex and a woman decides to yield, she may say something like, "Ghe re melya" or "Ghe re murdya" (Take it, you dead man). It's a derogatory word, but generally acceptable, and men don't react to it very badly. Having such a vocabulary makes it easier for a woman to deal with her husband's pressure to have sex. By routinely referring her husband in the third person as "melya", she reconciles to a man's more frequent need for sexual activity as something that is part of his nature. She may not like it, but she resigns herself to it. She does not take it personally when he forces himself on her, any more than she would feel violated by, say, a child that insisted on suckling. The question of "marital rape" does not arise in this cultural context, eve...

Judiciary's failure is the biggest cause of corruption in government & administration. Reform judiciary first, and 80% of government corruption will disappear. Like  ·  Comment  ·  Share

The hypocrisy & secretiveness in judges' appointments and internal functioning of courts is widely known. It is frequently acknowledged even by judiciary's insiders. Why are We The People keeping quiet about this? Do we really believe that a non-transparent and non-democratic judiciary will give justice to us? It is time we stopped acting like SUBJECTS of the Imperial crown, and started acting like CITIZENS of free India. Like  ·  Comment  ·  Share

The police are law enforcers. But do they understand law? Most policemen don't. Policemen have powers to accept complaint, detain, arrest and file FIR citing various IPC sections. They also have investigative powers to summon & interrogate possible witnesses, conduct searches etc. But, does the average cop understand anything beyond following the orders of superior officers? No. Their hierarchy and rigidly authoritarian organizational culture -- in fact, a brutal and criminal -minded culture -- makes cops cynical and cruel. This prevents policemen from having respect for democracy and citizens. Cops are habituated to speak the language of oppression and fear. They respect only power, not gentleness & rule of law. The main utility of the police force is VIP SECURITY & CROWD CONTROL.
