In August, 2006 Prof. Sabharwal, head of department of political science of Madhav College, Ujjain was beaten to death during student elections in front of other students. Inspite of so many witnesses the six accused have been freed by the sessions judge because the prosecution ' miserably failed ' to prove its case. Meanwhile there is tension in Kashmir because police destroyed evidence in the case of rape and murder of two young women. No surprise. Police in India are under the control of politicians who are villainous scum. Poorly paid and demoralised they are vilified by the people who see them as enemies. Half the police are used for guarding politicians instead of arresting and hanging the criminals. If they do arrest a criminal politicians interfere to get him off. They are used as collectors as in organised crime. Their main work is to create traffic obstructions and then collect fines from motorists. In Delhi traffic fines have been increased from Rs. 100 to Rs. 1000. Previously you paid a bribe of Rs. 50 to be let off but now you have to pay at least Rs. 500. It is a win win solution. The government earns more without being cursed for increasing taxes. The earning of the entire police force has jumped because the money is shared all the way up the chain thus effectively increasing police pay without increasing government expense. By keeping the entire force dependent on immoral income the politicians keep their hands on the leash. The public cannot complain because we are told that this is being done to reduce accidents and save lives. So why are Indian roads so hazardous? It is because everyone gets a licence by paying touts and hence no one knows how to drive. Who is in charge of driving licences? The police of course. Beautiful.
