Vexatious Justice..................

……….Justice is denied if it is served late
But so it is if served at haste…………….

Let me remember Ingersol’s.. Every crime is born of necessity. If you want less crime, you must change the conditions. Poverty makes crime. Want, rags, crusts, misfortune - all these awake the wild beast in man, and finally he takes, and takes contrary to law, and becomes a criminal. And what do you do with him? You punish him. Why not punish a man for having consumption? The time will come when you will see that that is just as logical. What do you do with the criminal? You send him to the penitentiary. Is he made better? Worse. The first thing you do is to try to trample out his manhood, by putting an indignity upon him. You mark him. You put him in stripes. At night you put him in darkness. His feeling for revenge grows. You make a wild beast of him, and he comes out of that place branded in body and soul, and then you won't let him reform if he wants to.


Let come to punishment……an way of delivering the justice……………

Seven years for killing a man with stick;
Two year under the wheel;
Ten years for “Ganja”;
Ten Rupees for Hard drinks,
Justice is thus served,
For that is the “Law of our Land”


Punishment is now unfashionable... because it creates moral distinctions among men, which, to the democratic mind, are odious. We prefer a meaningless collective guilt to a meaningful individual responsibility

Lets think up Justice of Rewards

“Fifty Rupees for a hard days labour in a field
Two Hundred at least at the factory,
Millions for a “song”, “Lyric” or a “Play”,
Countless in politics”


Think up the Dilemma of Justice…………………………………….
