charuhasan | | The Blame Game.
The idea of finding fault and punishing the culprit, warning him or setting an example for others to learn non-feasance, and from it to influence those who are inclined to malfeasance so that they refrain from it, is something that is intended for undeveloped minds. Even education is process to better living than to accept it as the aim and end of life.
Parliament, Executive, and Judiciary are our latest concept of necessary arms to use for making a better living for the majority of people in our accepted process of democracy. Just as a pious person refuses to acknowledge the thought process of an atheist like the French poet Anatole France, some of our intelligentsia refuses to accept that The Indian Constitution is product of the constituent assembly and that The Constitution is supreme only till the contents of it is altered as it had been done. So far there had been 94 amendments ever since its installation in the year 1950.
Just as God is all powerful in all religions, or at least those that we accept under the definition of religion, the practices vary from one to another. For any man of practical commonsense any system that inculcates a faith that consists of a few rigid or flexible or alterable rules comes under his or her definition of religion. Buddhism is system that neither accepts nor denies “God.” At the same time there seem to be different rules of practice for their monks and the general public. That again reminds me of the catholic system of Christianity in relation to the rules of reproduction. The same can be said of Hinduism where the priest-class has different food practices from the non priest class.
I personally feel that our society run by a sort of “Blame Game” where the objective of` `living comfort’ of humans is lost. I find in my own household all things are run on the basis of a “whodunit” rule of Sherlock Holmes or Sexton Blake idea. We do not realize that solutions are more important than blaming it on someone and punishing the culprit. Crime and detection by police, writing down the definitions of crime by Legislatures, their interpretation and punishment by judiciary are only incidental to our well being. Our comforts depend on the executive arm of the government. The Sardar seems like a strong arm today. Let us wait and see.
