2. INTRODUCTION
Crime is present in various forms
in India; organized crime includes
drug trafficking, gunrunning,
money laundering, extortion,
murder for hire, fraud, human
trafficking and poaching.
Many criminal operations engage in black marketeering, political
violence, religiously motivated violence, terrorism, and
abduction. Corruption is a significant problem.
3. 1.Corruption and police misconduct – Corruption is widespread in
India. Corruption has taken the role of a pervasive aspect of
Indian politics. In 2006, seven policemen were charge sheeted and
eleven were convicted for custodial misconduct.
2.Crimes against foreigners in India - Many of the crimes occur
against foreigners only. Scams involving export of jewels occur in
India, which target foreign citizens. Traveling alone in remote
areas after dark is of particular risk to foreigners.
3. Petty crime - Petty crime, like pick pocketing, bag snatching etc.
is widespread in India. Purse snatchers work in crowded areas.
4. Rape and sexual assault - Incidents of rape and sexual assault
against foreign tourists at popular tourist spots is increasing in
India.

5. Judicial system
There are four pillars of a
democracy- the legislature,
executive, judiciary and the
fourth estate. The judiciary in
our democracy has been
sinking in the morass of
inefficiency, corruption and
delays

9. Additional Information
According to the Union home ministry, some 800 people have
been arrested and jailed under POTA. Some 4,000 people
from across country were also booked under the Act.
But,though TADA was repealed long ago, there are still
prisoners languishing in jails in India under this Act.
Jharkhand saw the largest number of arrests under POTA.
Some 250 people have been jailed under the law in this
eastern state.
. But human rights activists say POTA has been misused in
Jharkhand against poor, low-caste, tribal people and
farmers and villagers who support Naxal groups.

14. Why is Kasab still living
in our country n Indian
govt. wasting money on
him? Why he not be
hanged out?
15. At this juncture it seems highly unlikely that Kasab
will actually ever be hanged
Why I say this is because…..
1. Firstly he has option of
appealing in the Supreme Court
and after that the mercy petition
2.The second reason why we feel
Kasab will unlikely be hanged is
that now his fate will also get
inextricably linked to an Indian
national, Sarabjeet Singh.
16. 3.The third reason more than anything else is the vote bank
politics of Congress
Kasab is more secure than you and me, with a high
profile security set up costing millions of dollars and
healthcare facilities like no other’.
17. Nineteen years, 40 adjournments and
400 hearings later, all Rathore got was
six months of imprisonment and a 1000
Rupees fine. However, he obtained bail
within 10 minutes of the verdict after
furnishing a bail bond of 10,000 Rupees
thus making a mockery of the
justice. The Justice in India has yet
again chosen the nasty path by humbly
succumbing to the rich and the
powerful. Has the verdict not shamed
the entire nation?
18. This seriously demonstrates a
miscarriage of the Indian
judicial system. Apart from
the verdict, what outraged
the public is Rathore’s
beaming smiles as he was
exiting the court with not an
iota of remorse showing up on
his face.
19. The question here is do we really need a huge public outcry
and demonstration for every case with a wrong
verdict? How many cases like Ruchika’s do enter into the
court’s bone at all? What we need is stronger law
enforcements and cleaner judicial system . The judicial
system should stop being biased to the wealthy lot and the
politicians .
20. Probably because of the crusading media and the huge
public outburst, Ruchika’s case might get justice of some
sorts in the end but if we take a moment to think……
Is this the way we want to
get justice?
21. CRIMINALS IN POLITICS
There is something about Indian politics that strikes everybody who
has a closer look at the biographies of politicians.
According to Indian law, a politician can be elected, even if there are
criminal charges pending against him.
Here are some statistics of one of our neighbouring states, Bihar: in
the elections 2005, there were 358 candidates who had criminal cases
pending against them. They came from all parties. Out of these 358
candidates, 213 had cases like murder, attempt to murder, kidnapping,
robbery, extortion or similar pending against them.
It is obvious why: Indian politics become more and more criminal, the
more criminals are sitting in our parliaments and councils.
We have a democracy but the public chooses the criminals and sends
them to parliament!
24. Rape any one, kill any one, blast India is considered the safest
anywhere, break any heavens for criminals because its
law, spread corruption you can law makers themselves are
commit all the crimes here. criminals
The person who has filed a case
Commit any crime you will get against you soon gets tired by
bail immediately and your case going to court for years and
will go for many years years that's why most of the
people don't want to go to court
for fighting their case.
Though some terrorists are Terrorists are killing innocent
caught alive still nothing people easily, gangsters are
happens with them. In fact many murdering their targets, robbers
politicians here have criminal are looting the people each crime
cases against them. is being done openly.
There are very few people who have got
justice here.
26. Suggestions
We the people of
India, having solemnly
resolved to constitute India
into a Sovereign Socialist
Secular Democratic Republic
and to secure to all citizens:
We need more
participation of the citizens
in bringing about these
changes. All this is
necessary because we need
a clearer picture of our
future.
27. When we hear these familiar words, only one thing comes to
our minds ‘the INDIAN constitution’.
These are the very first words of the Preamble
Are the people of India in
real terms assured of
Justice, liberty, equality
and fraternity?
Is the common man today
receiving justice? Does
equality really prevail?
Is Liberty being exercised
by all today?
28. The Water (prevention and control) Pollution Act has some
major defects. With majority of our rivers drying up and the
sorry state of Yamuna shows the incompetence of the Act
in the present times. The act still talks about wells and
streams as being the sources of water. Wells and streams
were the sources of water in ancient times but now we have
rivers, lakes, ponds, artificial water bodies which have been
totally excluded from the purview of this Act. Shockingly
this act does not even define what a ‘water pollutant’ is. Nor
does water table levels and potable water etc. find any
place in the Act. Whatever amendments have taken place in
this act have only been with respect to the Environment
Protection Act. Thus the act is a complete failure in itself.
29. We need more participation of the citizens in bringing about these
changes instead of leaving the change to the selfish
politicians, some of whom can barely claim to be educated. All
this is necessary because we need a clearer picture of our future.
At the end we would say - “In today already walks tomorrow.
Because the future is much like the present, only longer”
31. Our faith in the judicial system always stands
questioned, but, certain judgments, such as the Bhatnagar case, seek
to retain our faith occasionally.
The fact that media coverage cannot reach to every nook and
corner of the country is another weak point, adding to the already
never-ending list of weaknesses of the judiciary.
It is true that the judicial system in India has upheld its
stature and worked out how to properly dole out justice. Yet,
millions still await justice.
We, as responsible citizens, should aim to work for the
betterment of the system and not get swayed by the tiny
concessions given to us in the form of such once-in-a-blue-moon
victories. Today, the judiciary has carved out a niche for itself but
the vision of creating a judiciary as the guardian of the citizens
still remains a vision.
