Servants or Dictators ?
A naive child wishes to become a police officer. He considers catching a thief and maintaining law and order is an act of goodness. But the child grows into a powerful police personnel who abuses power to enjoy a happy life.
The power bestowed upon the officer has vanished the act of goodness he had envisioned as a child. It made him ponder only on his goodness.
Successful constitution not just allocates power but limits it too. Power is a strong tool which can protect or destruct lives depending on the possessor.
When the world is at halt in the hands of a virus, it witnessed two events showcasing misappropriation of power. The trauma that inflicted on the society was huge.
George Floyd of USA and Jayaraj , Bennix of India are victims of police brutality and a failed system. These deaths have exposed the conscienceless power mongers, at a time when kindness is most required.
Any system or law can be successful until it sustains the faith of the people. Such abuse of power will lead to a disoriented world.
Maintaining order does not warrant anyone to snatch away others self respect and fundamental rights. The least justice that can be done to victims' family is by providing rapid punishments to those power abusers. Mere transfer or suspension is a sign of inconsiderate government. It will eventually lay path for such organised crime.
Abuse of power is in every field. But it is very much evident in the uniformed services like police and army. The rigorous training makes them mentally and physically strong. But fails to retain them with humanness and mindfulness. Retrospection of the training module is necessary to make them realise that they are public servants and not dictators. Because restoring faith in the humanity is essential for the sustenance of this world.
