Bihar,as many used to say,was a failed state.Much of this term owes to the so called 'Jungle Raj' period of Bihar's history in post-independence history.Before the setting of this Raj,something really controversial took place in Bhagalpur.Car acid was poured into the eyes of few jailed undertrials in a local police station.This terrifying incident had electrifying effect throughout the crime world in Bihar.The crime graph took a deep plunge.The government and law was not in a mood to relent the matter.Court took cognizance of the matter and for the first time monetary compensation were offered to the victims.Court considered the case as a violation of Article 21 of the constitution.It was claimed that the police-men involved had violated the basic human rights and constitution.The then CJI of India,Y V Chandrachud made an observation to this effect.The police-men came under huge pressure.But an important fact that remains is the huge public applaud gained by the officers.Public rallies were organized in their support and against any possible actions melted upon them.These rallies were not at all organized by some political party.It was the public's swift and spontaneous action against the growing crime in the state in post-emergency era.There was a public nod and approval to the 'inhuman' action.Wether the officers involved were guilty or not,could never be proved in any commission or court of law.Not even a single police-men was prosecuted.The people sternly choose lawlessness to criminality.And mind it people of Bihar are considered backward in their mindset.
Bringing the case to present scenario,an officer,IAS,known for her valour against mining-mafia has been suspended.Days became week,the whole country was in rage.Intellectuals,journalists,politicians and public throughout the country is demanding justice for the officer.But,a question arises,who benefited from the excellent works undertook by the officer.Certainly,the direct beneficiaries were the local people.Even a murmur of protest is missing from them.It seems,they have silently approved the action against her.Their leader is boasting in front of them how he got the officer suspended within an hour,and the people are simply cheering and clapping.Its a matter of choice.The incident took place in UP,a state enjoying a down-ride almost in all aspects of public welfare and administration.Several governments occupying the power have only played the caste-cards in this infamous caste-belt of Indian politics.The public is seemingly choosing caste against welfare.If the state is shrinking in lawlessness,mind-numbing poverty and joblessness without industrialization,should the rest of India worry.Afterall,its a people elected democratic government.Its bound to do everything along the lines of public mood.
Those who organized rallies in Bihar weren't of a high-class.They were mostly down-trodden,illiterate and innocent villagers.In UP,the incident has occured in regions touching Noida,the high-profile dream city of big and the rich.The education they undertook seems wasted against the injustice offered to their public servant.Something must be spoken about the time too.This two starkinlgy different incidents were separated by more than thirty years.Then the people stood for men against the law,only because the men were doing something remarkable for them.Many will agree that the police-men involved in the case were guilty,yet people saw their good and supported them.Here,in a modern city of 21st century,an officer is allegedly suspended for demolishing the walls of a mosque.If people are choosing a petty religious matter over welfare and good governance,they are not just backward by centuries.They are equal partners-in-crime with the mafia.If not for the injustice melted down to the officer,they could atleast have stood for their own good.Always complaining or grumbling against the government does not pays.Either you can make a change with your own hands,or you can wait for a missionary to undertook a fast for you where people can have their regular tamasha or play and fair.
