Increasing court hours and the number of judges would be a good start in the right direction. Steps should be taken to deal with the massive backlog of pending cases. Yet, here we have our members of parliament, who have several pending criminal cases against them, most of which somehow never manage to reach a conclusion. Severe actions should be taken against anyone who is caught, to the extent that they should be banned from holding any public office. Surprisingly, there are no stringent laws against corruption. This also ensures that the fair foundation of merit is not compromised.Ĭorruption has to be criminalised. Giving them aid with textbooks, scholarships, etc. The idea of reservation was to ensure that the unprivileged have an equal chance to compete with the others.
Reservations should be made on the basis of the financial condition of the candidate, not caste, as aid should to go to those who truly need it. Amit Trivedi, the cartoonist, was arrested for stating the dire truth about Indian politics. Free-thinkers and rationalists are attacked for stating truths verified through science.
Blasphemy is an antiquated concept that religious preachers have misused for their own advantage. However, section 297A of the IPC degrades this fundamental right. Our Constitution guarantees Right to Freedom as a fundamental right, which includes the right to speech. What comes as a shock is that some of these laws have not been amended ever since they were drafted by our British colonisers.

The Indian Penal Code (IPC) was drafted by the British Government in 1860, and came into effect in British India in 1862, during the early period of British Raj. We may take pride in our economic development, and other technological advances, but has our law similarly progressed with the times? Since then, we have been proudly calling ourselves the ‘world’s biggest democracy’. It has been 67 years since our independence and 64 years since our constitution came into effect.
