REFORMER OF SOCIETY CHALLENGED The Executive and Parliament are not upholding our right to live in equality and dignity that is the right of every indian citizen. Many Parliamentarians/MLAs have criminal antecedents and scant respect for law. Some of their progeny/followers think they are the law!The Apex court is turning out to be our savior and prime reformer of modern India! This is becoming a difficult job with the party in power in the Hindutva mode and States surrendering law and order to vigilantes challenging the Supreme Court decisions in implementation, whilst politicians are indulging in dangerous dirty politics as clearly seen in the many lynchings, rapes, encounter and custodial killings and double standards abetted by the Centre!. For example excuse of tradition not entertained in abolishing of tripple talak, but violent objections to Sabrimala decision, both national parties shamelessly supporting the women and other vigilantes preventing the State from doing its duty implementing the Supreme Court's decision. This judgement was given after hearing all the arguments and upholding the Constitution for all womens rights against unscientfic misoginistic tradition and discretionary dogma! The States have not implemented the Supreme Courts directive for Police Reforms and so inmplementation of law and order by police is unreliable, even if the Chief Minister of the State orders strict police implementation, as is seen in the Sabrimala temple episode! I have watched live on TV women reporters attacked, vehicle damaged and devotees(turned goons? violently )prevent women from approaching anywhere near the temple. The police do not know how/will not take action to prevent disorder or strongarm tactics from prevailing. Is this a sign of things to come? Whatever the reason, we must congratulate the CM of Kerala for having the spine to firmly implement the law in the face of religious and political power blackmail in the name of a God!
