MP govt assures action against cops who let stabbed youth die at Indore police station : North, News - India Today



Our police - and our apathy - just gets better and better. One man - who tried to protect his sister - was stabbed; the police first wrote the report and then took him to the hospital! The poor man died... who is responsible? The shocking insensitivity of the police forces defies belief! Are these policemen human beings or not? Was their paper-work more important than a man's life? And listen to their lame excuses in this video:


The ambulance took time to come! Just who do these stupid inhuman policemen think they are making a fool of? Havent you heard of private cars? Taxis? Autos? And where are all those lovely police vehicles which are used for all sorts of senseless purposes?

Why have a police force if both the goons and the police kill you? Death stalks the normal citizen on both sides! Then why have this eye-wash of a police force? The government needs to ensure that the policemen on duty are arrested and tried for criminal negligence amounting to murder! I doubt - sincerely doubt - that any action will be taken by either the police or the so-called government. Even here, it might just require a PIL in the Supreme Court for anyone to take action. Read the SPs statement: "We are investigating on the police officials in the area who did not act. We will initiate action against them". They intend to "investigate". Brilliant! Dont they know who was on duty? Dont they know that a person died? How long does it take to investigate? And we all know what happens when a policeman or a politician promises to investigate!

What I cannot understand is why didnt the people there take immediate action and take the poor man to a police station? So the police weren't cooperating; fine - but your relatives or friends' life is at risk - and yet you keep quiet and let him die? This whole episode makes me want to puke over the pusillanimous behaviour on display. There has to be a limit to tolerance! The relatives (or friend) would not have been doing anything criminal... then why? Why? And why has this shockingly brutal and inhuman behaviour been conspicuous by its absence from all mainstream media? Wither freedom of the press??????

And still the government does not implement police reforms... we need the Supreme Court to step in to ensure that we have a decent and functioning humane system in place! I just hope that for once, the SP and the GoMP is not covering up...

PK, The Movie : One Of The Best...

\ PK : A Movie Ahead Of Its Time; A Movie That Is A Very Vital And Current Need! I dont normally review movies; my blog does not lend itself to such an activity, given its positioning as one that asks some tough questions to Indians. I am making an exception for this movie, not because it is a landmark movie {which it is}, but because this movie is also one that asks some pretty blunt, and to some people, offensive questions.  It is rather sad and humbling to see the vigorous protests to this movie, and some cases of active on-street protests and interference in some places. Sad, because there is almost nothing in the content that should excite such actions; and humbling because it is a painful reminder that we as a nation have still a ways to go in our quest for true development! Before I move onto the movie, I have just one question : did the protesters also protest to Haider? If no, you did not find the negative portrayal of The ...

Book Review : Chhatrapati Shivaji

Chhattrapati Shivaji stands as one of the most celebrated medieval heroes in Modern India; it is a name that touches a chord in almost every Indian, and is a powerful force to reckon with even today, three centuries after his death. He is present everywhere you can see; he is one of the few to withstand the onslaught of naming everything in sight after the Nehru family. A Chhatrapati square her, a Shivaji Terminus there – many cities have honoured themselves with some landmark, statue, street or square in his name. Such is his current followership, and so powerful is his presence. This makes reviewing any book related on this personality a big responsibility, a tough task  – and not one to be taken with insincerity, or with bias,  or attitude. I had always thought of The Chhatrapati as a tall personality, a commanding and great Indian; but had never given a thought to the pull, the deep connect and the powerful influence this genius had on me; as I read the current boo...

Tarkeshwar Mahadev : Pune Hidden Gems

What do you do when you have something good, something that is praiseworthy, and something that can be an attraction? Answer, if you are in Pune – keep silent about it, tell no one. This is seemingly exaggerated – perhaps it is exaggerated; but I am flabbergasted by a series of unbelievable locations that I have visited in Pune City – within main Pune City, mind you . These are not well known – at least not one single localite informed me, even on asking . At least those I talked. If I didn’t talk to the right people, perhaps I am in the wrong. But – if you expand your vision to TV, Cinema, Popular opinion, hotels – the situation above gets proof. I earlier visited Pune on a family holiday, stayed in a good Hotel. Not one Hotel informed me of these; not one person – Taxi, Tour Guide – even mentioned these . Thus, it seems to me that Puneites don’t realise how lovely a city they have, how mesmerizing are its many, many tourist-worthy places, how rich and unspoiled,...
