India has again proved that it is a country of only lawmakers with no law enforcers. We have laws, we make few more and then make additional few more. We have world's one of the most amended constitution. Either the fathers of our constitution were not foresighted enough and had dome only a copy, paste job or our society is evolving too fast.
For a relatively young democracy, we have enough laws. But when it comes to implementation of these laws, we have a defunct machinery. This was proved all over again, when atrocities against the Jarawas tribals of Andaman and Nicobar islands, in clear violation of laws, was brought to light. What was more shocking was that Indians were humiliating fellow Indians for cheap thrills for some inhuman foreigners.
What is also important to note, is that, it was revealed by a foreign newspaper. We pride ourselves over a free, independent and vibrant fourth estate. But often the cameras of these powerful and rich media houses fail to roll beyond the boundaries of the NCR and a few state capitals. They are content to restrict themselves to reporting weather forecast and antics of few Delhi based politicos. When would they stop airing hand-downs from British and American networks and produce some quality news of their own.
