6 months vs 19 Years.... Democracy won commoner lost !

"Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people”,the famous quote of Abraham Lincoln is always used by intelligentsia to define the basics of Democracy. The democracy which is the finest way of ruling people in the contemporary world.But in India the different part of Government take pleasure to beat the democracy at every step. The new verdict of CBI Special Court is just another fresh addition to this in which the former DGP of haryana Police Mr. S P S Rathore was convicted of molesting of a minor girl.The judicial process took almost 19 years to reach the punishment of 6 months to a police officer who enjoyed the highest Rank in the State Police.

we start with the legislature part of Democracy. we expect this particular part of democracy to represent the Voice of commoner. In this particular the voice of commoner was meant the voice of family members of Ruchika,her friend aradhana and his family members .But these voices were beaten to almost death. Ruchika was forced to leave her school out of political pressure. Her brother was suddenly a Criminal to Haryana Police and many false complaints were lodged against him. Harassemnet led ruchika to commit suicide in 1993. The culprit of this case was promoted as DGP in 1999 even though it was known by all the parties that he was involved in such a henious crime. Simply ,during these nine years the so-called first pillar of democracy was failed to deliver its due duties.

Then the executive part of democracy was at its worst . Police Department is supposed to play an important role as an law enforcement agency. on the contrary ,here one Police officer holding a high rank was involved in an act of molestation with a budding tennis player.And almost all the police department backed him with their bloody harassment strategies against the victimized family. But still the family took the stance and voiced against the heavy weight police officer. here again the system weaken the the quote of lincoln by just simply defeating the cited cores of the democracy.

Judiciary is also another important pillar of democracy.Here judiciary took 19 years to deliver the justice. and the justice again strengthened the notion that Late justice is the worst form of the justice.The people fighting for the justice must have experienced the heat of death millions time in these 19 years. Ruchika is no more to feel the vibes of justice. Her family members do not know whether to celebrate or devised the futuristic course in this battle.the battle is over and the war has begun for them . All the three pillars are at the guilty end. commoner have no place to go. the people mentioned in Abraham's definition of democracy has no place in practical applications of democracy. so,the above said definition must be replaced by the definition,"Democracy is the government of the politicians,by the bureaucrats and for the corrupt judges"
