I agree I could have been more specific with my policy recommendations and questioning of beliefs. <br /><br />I believe that efficient implementation of the IPC can make a significant difference to such incidents. People who follow the laws of such courts/panchayats view them as entities beyond the scope of the IPC. This is because the law of the land has been hesitant in catching up with the panchyats. Ensuring that such courts do not exists, that they understand that they are not above the law, that their decisions can be punished by the IPC will reduce the hold and fear they generate. Sarkar pan tyancha kahi karu shakat nahi he joparyanta sampat nahi toparyanta tyanchi satta kayam rahanar. Ani hi satta ghalavayala IPC ani sarkari vruttit badal hya sarvat mahatvachya goshti ahet.

Their occurrence, however, is not surprising, though shocking, given that they are not new and unheard of. One considers it as an issue of law and order, and improvises to find or create solutions under IPC only when you have such incidents of ultimate gravity concerning loss of human life. It then becomes an issue that the government of the day should be blamed for not being able to protect individual's fundamental rights guaranteed by the constitution of the republic state. The question to be asked here is that have the same people accepted the legal institutions established by the very constitution? The wider issue is why have people still belief, faith and adherence to such Khap or any other caste courts (jaat panchayat), which are extra-constitutional? The crux of the matter lies in acceptance of caste as one's supreme identity. This is an identity, which the so called modern India that turns to constitutional institutions for justice has still not given up. When there is acceptance of such panchayats across the board and among people, it would be stupid to just consider it an issue to be handled using IPC and vaguely saying that people should be educated. The political calculations are shameful, but one cannot deny or disregard the role such panchayats play among people in terms of being an accepted institution. <br /><br />To me, it is an issue of efficient functioning of state at the local level through strengthened decentralized, self-ruled, panchayat raj; and people's acceptance of superiority of constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights over the discriminating and inhuman ethos that believe in supremacy of caste, religion, region, gender, etc.<br /><br />I think your article was very IPC-centric, and vague about awareness among people and the role of government. It did not challenge the parochial beliefs and norms as they should be.a Sane manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627041738029817725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19632102.post-45668912626174618472010-07-15T12:58:40.002-04:002010-07-15T12:58:40.002-04:00I love so much, girl.

Would an AIDS patient say, "My body supported and nurtured HIV"? I know a Telugu poet who once said, "A country is it's people, not its land." But when Zardari admitted that Pakistan nurtured and created terrorism, he didn't mean that the people of Pakistan did, but the lands of Pakistan were used and consumed by terrorists.<br /><br />The only reason for his admission was that Pakistan has reached a point where it's helpless, and acceptance of gruesome reality is the best way to get external help. This is why Manmohan Singh, in his trumpet voice, is declaring that we should "trust but verify" Pakistan's commitment to fight terrorism.bvamkrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02532187190024349905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19632102.post-17633650683455024582009-08-01T01:17:49.232-04:002009-08-01T01:17:49.232-04:00"We are a country of decent people who would ..."We are a country of decent people who would be outraged by such displays."<br /><br />So true, and I agree.bvamkrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02532187190024349905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19632102.post-75564303168894741932009-07-24T20:45:18.952-04:002009-07-24T20:45:18.952-04:00Sorry i meant parliamentary democracy and end of b...Sorry i meant parliamentary democracy and end of barbarism do not necessarily always go together..End Terror, End Oppressionhttp://www.flonnet.com/fl2302/stories/20060210003703300.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19632102.post-84256283276329735012009-07-24T20:23:19.508-04:002009-07-24T20:23:19.508-04:00'Barbarism' and parliamentary democracy do...'Barbarism' and parliamentary democracy do not necessarily go together always.
