ATTROCITIES AGAINST WOMEN

INCORRIGIBLE CRIMINALS & INEFFECTIVE PUNISHMENTS?

The daily news on atrocities to women folk irrespective of age groups are on the rising trend and the efforts to curb such evil doings are not found effective..

Recent rape case and followed torture of a young lady in the Capital city is the glaring example of the prevailing lawlessness in this country of ancient IRSHEES and Godly men.. Why such inhuman and beastly behavoiur by our youth of today?. Are we failing in our Endeavor to administer peace and tranquility in life to the people of the free India?. The moral values of life have been lost in the social network and particularly the youngsters run amuck seeking short cuts to sexual pleasures by any means!. 

 To a great extent the modern life style and the communicating media like, Cinema/TV contribute towards the degradation of this generation to such a low profile. Wild animal instinct is being nurtured by many youngsters educated or otherwise. The control over them by the parents and the teachers are lost and the youngsters have drifted off beyond retrieval.. THE PRESENT GENERATION HAS GONE TO THAT EXTENT TO BEHAVE LIKE BEASTS IN PUBLIC PLACES. EVEN THE BEAST HAS SEASONAL APPROACH TO SEXUAL ACT.

Where the remedy does lie? The men in authority are slack in their attitudes and expressions to “bring to books” the culprits who do crime almost regularly and disrupt the social fabrics and create DENTs which cannot be mended easily. Now what is holding up the officers & administers to act according to the law of the land and punish the evil doers within the shortest time to eliminate further damage?. Yes there will be difficult situation to deal with particular cases and to apply the correct solutions as the present “Political front” will act in dissimilar directions due to hidden motives and interests..

Once the seriousness of the crime is established and the criminal is apprehended then the course of action must be fast. Timely disposal is the essence of any criminal or civil case which brings down the morality of the people. Unless fast track decisions are taken we will “Dig our own Grave” soon and ruin our society beyond REDEMPTION!

My suggestion for punishments for such heinous crimes is:-Either or

1.     Isolation of the accused from the society in a secluded place

2.     Keep him/her in single cell for life till natural death

3.     RI for life till 70 yrs and release under watch

 I would like to have your views on this subject matter.

RESERVATION IN SERVICE

                                        RESERVATION IN SERVICE CADRE

The recent bill passed by the parliament for reserving the “right of promotion” to higher ranks for the economically backward classes seems to be a hasty decision without going through the social implications in the service cadre of the employees belonging to other categories.

The entry to the Government or other departments can be liberalized for the lower income group/ scheduled castes/tribes etc by giving monetary support & free education so that they may be brought into the main stream. But once they are given this privilege and brought in the service cadre, no other social status, except efficiency and good service records must be taken into consideration for future promotion to appropriate posts.

If the future promotion also is granted on social and economic status, then the scope of improving their “social bearing” will not take effect and these categories will continue to remain in the low-profile and there will not be any genuine efforts from them to improve their output, as they are ensured security and promotion irrespective of efficiency in their job.

Such kind of discrimination in service will trigger unhappy & wrong signals in the minds of all other categories which will ruin the whole system of Governance indirectly and retard the progress of the State in its onward march towards economic & social growth, matching with the increasing population. Also ill will and hatred will increase within the employees, thereby tilting the equilibrium of the working of the departments..

Unless a competitive spirit is kindled in the minds of the employees in the prospects of their service, well we may be in a disastrous situation in the coming years.

These are my personal views on the possible disharmony amongst the employees of Government & other Departments/industries etc..

POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION

                 GROUPING OF POLITICAL PARTIES WITH DISSIMILAR IDEOLOGIES!

In our Indian Democracy we have many political parties with different policies & ideologies. Whatever may be the political policies, the ultimate aim must be to take the Nation forward towards Social/Economical/financial growth for the betterment of the people. But presently we see that the parties want to excel in their political activities and in that process promote rivalry amongst the other political denominations resulting in the slowing down of the progress of the country in all fronts. 

Therefore to achieve the target or goal, grouping of parties of dissimilar ideologies will always create chaos in fulfilling the demands of the common man by the Government. This state of affairs is mainly due to the non synchronization of the policies of different parties, to work in resonance for a common purpose.

To tide over this political stalemate, the leaders of the parties must evolve a desirable feature in the government machinery. To achieve this, the elected representatives belonging to different groups must sit down together and nominate their leader and associate officers for the formation of the Government. Here, the importance is to be given to the ability of a person irrespective of party feelings, considering all the elected people at par in the Parliament/Assembly.  

This method of joining together as one body or UNIT in the Parliament or State Assembly will eliminate all differences, as everyone is for the common GOAL of Administration. During the spell of the government, decisions will be taken after deliberations and discussions in detail considering the merits& demerits of the subject matter on the particular issue and accept/reject as the case may be. This system of administration is similar to the organizations like, YMCA/LIONS CLUB/SOCIAL SERVICE etc where the intention is to SERVE and not be SERVED.

I am sure that such change over will definitely eliminate hatred and introvert feelings from public servants and will instill unity in action in the minds of the elected representatives.

NEGLIGENCE OF DUTY

                                                       Mishap in the passenger Train

Such failure of the under frame & trolly assembly on the run is never heard of in the history of the Railways since its inception. Why such accidents happen when we have regular chartered program of inspection of the rolling stock and timely maintenance by officers at different levels? This type of failure shows that the departmental officers & men are not committed to their tasks and take everything for granted. This kind of lethargy on the part of the maintenance staff is telling upon the performance and of the safety of railway journey. The public will lose confidence in the railway travel.

Being a retired railway officer, I feel thoroughly disturbed in my mind to have heard such grave situation in the railway system. That means the close knit railway operations in coordinating the other departments is in disarray! The dent caused due to this major failure will damage the whole FABRIC of the Railway organization. The Divisional and headquarters level officers must take serious concern on such disastrous situation.

The system of maintenance of the rolling stock is unique and this system was followed “biblically” by the officers and staff during the past. I have never come across such gross negligence during my railway service from 1956 to 1992.

 Revamping of the whole set up of the Mechanical department is necessary to avoid occurrences of this nature in future. It is requested that the regular maintenance schedules & charts handed to us by our predecessors must be strictly followed in Style & Use by all concerned.

KNOW YOURSELF

                Know Thyself

We always try to understand the other man’s attitude and comment upon. But seldom try to find out our own behavior with our fellow beings. May be selfish motives and self centered approach only make this difference? To know oneself we have to explore the following things :-

1.   Self realization

2.   Godly nature in You

3.   Your neighbor and You

4.   Your belongings and You

5.    Your greatest enemy ie-You

Realization of our own self is the greatest task before us. It is not difficult to understand the temperament and behavior of a person whom you come across in your daily life. But understanding of our own self is difficult and needs the Spirit of God to act upon you and thereby kindle up the inner man to expose the qualities in you. Once we become aware of our shortcomings and also realize the inbuilt Godliness in us, we become a changed person both in body and spirit. Thereafter there will a pronounced change in your outlook and relation with others. Attaining this status or state of mind is difficult unless we crush down the “I” in us( the egoistic feelings of mind)

The next stage is to know the person whether at home or outside the office or in public places. Once this person recognizes your personal traits and takes you as a friend or well-wisher, he opens his mind before you. Thus the confidence we created in the mind of the neighbor will tune up your mind to extend maximum help to him in his adversity. This change over of our mindset will lead us to realize the unseen power of GOD. This stage is the ultimate aim of any individual for attaining peace in his life. The GOD Almighty takes over the reign when we are amenable to His commands and helpful to the people who need our support duly sharing our belongings with others.

The three-in-one combination ie. You/Neighbor/God will form a Life Triangle, the smallest perfect frame in the life cycle of any human being. This unit force when linked with the Universal network creates a world of “Unity in action” for a peaceful life on this Earth. 

Therefore we have to fight out and defeat the attitudes of our greatest Enemy – OUR SELF- by knowing our own SELF and obeying the commands of our INNER-MAN..
