tyranny of the indian judiciary and courts

भारतीय उवाच २ – using morality to institute dictatorship

at the second dadachanji memorial debate, the attorney general of india talked about the fetish of indian courts with constitutional morality. and in the facade of this 'constitutional morality', the courts have “garnered to itself vast powers, which no one apex court in the world has ever exercised”.

further he surmised that the supreme courts interpretation of article 142 has been such that it considers itself “above the law”. (http://bit.ly/2PsHdeA)

the kesavananda bharati judgement had dealt a “deathblow.to the supremacy of the parliament” and ensured that the government could not change that structure.

for some reason the courts and the judiciary have assumed that they are the keepers of our collective morality. that because there is illiteracy – voters who choose the government – they cannot be trusted with decisions on moral principles. that is nonsense! illiteracy is one thing, wisdom is another.

there is no reason why the voter who changes governments and has installed a common man who once sold tea and was not educated in fancy universities – cannot know what is good for him and what is not.

sabarimala was one such case. sabarimala is an ancient temple with rituals and ways steeped in agama shastra and rules. something that court never once referred to while giving the decision! that has created misery untold. the devotees have been tortured and persecuted because court made an idiotic decision which had no relevance in tradition or in rules by which that place was consecrated.

the day is coming when indian judiciary, which acts day by day as marie antoinette – throwing its moral superiority over others that it thinks are of inferior intellect and wisdom – will face a people's revolt that will be difficult to quell. and even that will be a sad day.

... you cannot create a storm and then complain about the high seas turning violent. storming of the bastille challenged the absolutism of the ruling class which was deaf, insensitive and cut off from the populace.

when the law becomes deaf, nature storms bastilles.

भारतीय उवाच १

bharat is under attack. at the forefront of this attack is the judiciary. they use the instrument of 'contempt of court' to push people to relinquish their freedom of expression and speech. it is no longer possible to criticize and point out at the judges in india to bring out the rampant corruption, judicial over-reach and extreme tyranny.

all this has been facilitated by the regimes gone by. they have subverted the judiciary and also created an enclosed monster which brooks no intervention from other pillars of democracy. meanwhile, the regimes gone by have ingratiated the judiciary with postings, nepotist appointments, and informal relationships.

the time has come to point out the obvious and share the सत्य.
