Where the society is heading ??? -To day's incident in Bihar Vardaha village.

Hi all,

I have read all your posts on the brutal incident happened in Bihar and the killing of 10 thieves by the people...The people were taking law into their hands... No doubt...

But those incidents happened because the people suffered were thieves... I just came across another news which happened a week back in Jallandhar...

A ten-year-old boy was tied to a horse and dragged on a road by people belonging to a nomadic community in Raowali village in Jallandhar. The boy's fault was that he stopped a horse from grazing on standing crop in fields where his mother works.

The boy was tied to a horse and dragged for several hundred meters on a road. He was finally rescued by workers from a nearby factory.

The boy named Etwari Lal sustained deep injuries on his back and head, and is in a hospital.

Here again, The police have registered a case.

The boy stopped a horse from grazing on standing crop... Is that a big fault?? or even I want to ask is that a fault after all??

 

Recently I wrote this blog and I think it will give insight to what you all are discussing.

PSYCHOLOGY of A MOB

<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />
It is not the nature of incident that triggers mobs to go on rampage. Here in Agra it was a freak accident but we see this kind of mob mentality every now and then. It happened with Gujjar agitation and a few days back in Luknow when the professor was lynched by the mob…….. rather by leaders of student union.


We are a nation of nobodies. The power lies with elected leaders who turn their backs as soon as they are elected leaving poor Junta stranded with same problems for the next five years. To get anything done plead with these very leaders whom you have elected. They ignore you and you become a part of the faceless crowd…… part of nobodies……part of irrelevant people. You become worthless entity who can be ignored and forgotten. The frustrations build up over time and a freak accident can unleash those suppressed desires……. to give back to those who treated you like an invisible object. But elected ones are unapproachable sitting in guarded cabins…..they can not be touched. So what do you do……you give it to those who come in your way!


This crowd is not rich. Rather it belongs to mostly illiterate class having enough time on their hands and not much to lose. This crowd is not utilized productively for the benefit of the country. They give vent to their idleness anywhere they find a soft target………………..because they can’t fight powerful people. In a mob they become faceless entities and can get away with bigger crimes. Individually they are week but Mob gives them strength. They can vent out their frustrations.


Police on the other hand hardly moves. It again moves only when someone influential is involves that also in his favor….to suppress evidence. No doubt the police force is not respected either. People have no faith in police……..they don’t believe that there would be a fair play……. that the victim will ever get justice. Even our judicial system is so slow that cases remain pending for years and the perpetrators of crime move freely……..without any fear. All laws are their but they are never implemented because of the attitude of people at helm of affairs.
Hence people take law into their own hands. It is a way of getting even with all those who belittle them.


The truth is that the system has become so rotten that it needs complete overhauling otherwise with all the progress and shining India slogans we would be heading for a jungle raj.

Dear Subbu,

The people have lost the faith in the Law. The Law enforcement officers are also lethargic... They dont want to risk their lives...

Today Mighty is right.. People are scared... They dont want to get involved in anything... Politicians develop Goondas first... Then they become scared of them and has to take care of them... So that is what is happening...

So Now slowly people try to take the law in their hands... There are people who in order to take thier revenge or whatever.... try to uses these sort of things to their advantage.... But at the end of the day, these people escape the clutches of law and the innocent people get caught....

Dear vivbass
this is very true that if we see our hard earned things stolen one wud try to hurt the thieve & some element of violence is always there if people caught the thieves & is unavoidable. But the thing is now a days once some body is caught it is the mob who doesnot have any other interest other then getting their anger ( may be for due to other causes )to direct towards the victom brutally that is what shud not be there. The mentality of mob is turning towards the delivering on spot punishment & justice fort the crime & not advising to go to authorities.
This is also very valid point that after 6 months or so in jail again these offanders wud be free to to whatever they were doing in past. Becoz now adays our Jails are not tring to reform the prisoners ( as mrs. kiran bedi was trying ) but rather has become a school of training for crimes. So what to Do ? it is a big question.
Actually the taking of law in public Hands is becoz people knows that no proper justice wud happen & it wud take a very long time .
Actually we needs reform from top to grass root level and by self reforming ourselves & our kids to become good citizens.

 

Dear Madhavi
Very correct psychological analysis of Mob behavior . The same happened in Rajasthan with Gurjjar reservation andolan ,mob burned even the police stations, people were openly roaming on raods with swards & pistals & nobody was able to do anything. Actually there was no law or adnminstartion & again they r ready to come on roads & government is just busy in their internal conflicts .
Infact it is very easy to collect mob on any issue in such a vast country but once the crowd is there it is very difficult to control them .
The Satygrahs of GANDHJI are now presenting in this perverted form with too much violence & no law abiding a far cry from the original view .

Regarding some of these incidents, one thing i came to know is that the chain snatchers thieves have been doing this since a long time in the area. When people complained to the police, these chain snatchers came out of the police station within hours and were also treated like friends by police.

The villagers initially asked the police to help them but when they knew that it is of no use, they took the law into their hands. I am not justifying their actions but due to this incident, i am sure that any chain snatcher in that area would think twice before commiting such crime
