I don't share this confusion over duty VS conscience.
This is a land where Lord Krishna advised Arjun not to run away from the fight just because it was his great grand father on the opposite side. Duty as KSHATRIYA is supreme over emotional attachments. Today the converse must hold good. Follow your profession even if the client is country's enemy.
Again in Ramayana Ram declined to continue the fight with a tired and spent Ravana. Instead of killing a defenseless Ravan, Ram told," Renew yourself and come tomorrow for the war"!.
That is our heritage. Even wars were fought within the framework of ethics and when ethics were violated our puranas did not hesitate to criticise it.
Forget about heritage. Don't you think that the image of our legal system will only be glowing bright in the international view if the accused is given legal help even if he is an enemy? Conversly if you convict him without legal aid will not the judicial process be defective and the case may suffer a setback in upper court on appeal for that single reason?
Here I am talking about only the legal process not political decision which is another issue altogetherPrivate Reply to 7 Th Thinking Hat (new win) |
