Indian Justice : To execute the wrongdoers? Or to encourage them?

If you had ever been to a court proceeding, or happened to watch such a proceeding in a movie or any other media, you will know this; the huge white figure of the Mother of Indian justice stands blindfolded, holding a beam balance. The blindfold denotes the fact that there is no 'your' and 'mine' when it comes to punishing the culprits. And the beam balance portrays the idea of equality before law.

The reason for this not-really-important explanation of our Mother of Justice is just to enlighten the fact that the denotation and portrayal mentioned above, are being automatically and unknowingly modified by the passing years. Moreover, the modifications are definitely not for the better. And who are the very people allowing that to happen? WE.

What's happening in our country? Can't we ever see the political culprits hanged? Do they always enjoy the privilege of getting out of prison with a bunch of health ailment issues under their armpits and again open up their immoral acts after pretending to be silent for a while? Why does our justice system allow all that? Why is our judicial system so hesitant to execute all such rogues? Is it meant to eradicate the wrongdoers, or encourage them?  

Let's THINK. Let's ACT.
