Hindu Sense of Justice

Hindu Sense of Justice
My good buddy, Ajay Uprety fries some Hindu ass. So do I but I don't get paid like he does. Such is life. Police brutality in India is as much rampant as feces fascist vandalism. Fascists are known to harass, intimidate, threaten, gang up, target and torture innocent as police officers. Fascists have no reason to be such nasty to others. Police, however, have a birth right to extract forced confessions from alleged suspects. The weak ones succumb to this inhuman treatment and sign on dotted line to save their lives, such as they are in a sewer called India.
Ajay Uprety's case of police brutality is neither isolated nor it is out of a seedy Hindi movie. It is real. One senior college student in Benaras had a misfortune to fall prey to bunch of Hindu thugs with batons and badgering as their investigative procedure. Why would anybody torture a suspect? Bunch of computer coolies broke the law and handcuffed in America, a cause of massive propaganda against the US law enforcement mishandling. Even the ambassador got black and blue in his face protesting on behalf of the suspect.
Bunch of computer coolies threw up so also idiotboy, Rajeev Srinivasan of Rediff. INS officers were acting on a strong suspicion and had acted in good faith. President Clinton's state visit made this incidence disappear like a magic. If not computer coolies of America would have a ball in portraying America as a lawless nation where color of one's skin makes them guilty.
I must wait for that bastard whopping and hollering over computer coolies' arrest to say what he feels about poor Rakesh Viz who lies on his bed as an invalid due to extremely inhuman treatment received at the hands of heinous Hindu police officers of India, the land of sewer rats.
The Indian Express reported on April 11, 1998 the Hyderabad police set a thirty-three year old man, Mohammad Fareed on fire from which poor fellow died.

The same paper cites another instance of police brutality in which thirty-seven year old, Bhimashankar Sontakke suffered massive injuries of being whipped like they used to do to Black slaves in America.

Sikh, a minority community of India has been cruelly punished for one of their assassin's act by majority Hindus in cahoots with the law. See how it looks from Sikh point of view.
Betrayal of the Sikhs
Subsequently, various peaceful efforts were undertaken by the Sikhs to address their grievances. The legal avenues were used and those cases remain languishing in the Indian judicial system, which utterly failed the rights of the oppressed time and time again. In the rare case that the trial goes to court and is tried, the verdict is often tainted by bigotry, corruption, influence, or false evidence leading to a tragic miscarriage of justice.
The diseases of bigotry, religious cleansing, opportunistic demagoguery and corruption pervade the Indian social/political fibre, frustrating the peaceful endeavors and leading to gross violations of the basic human rights, due process and safety of the Sikhs.
Politics and Law & Order
Starting in the late 1970s, India began to pass draconian measures and unjust bills into law targeting the Sikhs in particular, giving sweeping, absolute, unaccountable powers to the police and armed forces. Through these powers the police and paramilitary forces became judge, jury and executioner on the spot, with no checks and balances.
This has resulted in the reign of terror in Punjab, which continues to this day, a situation referred to as "peace of the graveyard".
Denial
Referring to it as an impersonal "Sikh Problem", the majority of the population of India, which is Hindu, has looked away from the brutality and corruption of the police in Punjab against the Sikhs.
The Indian government has dangled the carrot of opened markets, a developing third-world nation, capital investment, and a burgeoning middle and upper-middle class to entice the developed nations to turn a blind eye towards the human rights abuses of not only the Sikhs, but other minorities as well.
The international agencies that monitor human rights abuses have been continually denied access to Punjab while the government of India has in various international forums harshly criticized the UN and developed nations for coupling economic development issues with human rights issues. Under pressure from various governments, the Indian government setup a National Human Rights Commissions ( NHRC) in 1993, yet the situation regarding the atrocities against the Sikhs in India continues unabated, with no end in sight.
It is our intention to document and present the facts about these abuses, particularly against the Sikhs.
For more details on the background of the situation, please see the document put out by the Punjab Studies Council.

Cruel arm of the law
Torture: Life lies paralysed for young victim of police
Ajay Uprety
Rakesh Viz lies in a dingy room at Sant Kabir Nagar in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, incapable of doing anything on his own except weep. Tears flow unabashedly as he removes his briefs to show scars of electric torture. His lungs do not function properly, forcing him to drink warm water even in the sultry heat of summer. The four broken teeth on his lower jaw give a mute testimony to his sufferings and a deep scar on his throat explains his hoarse voice. Rakesh is partly deaf because his ears were damaged and a spinal cord injury has left him incapable of any movement. He cannot even get up from the bed.
"I was denied food, water and sleep, and the cops beat me as if they were beating on a log. They pulled my teeth out, they poured icy water all over my body as I lay shivering in the extreme cold and brutally hit me with lathis."
Life came to a grinding halt for the Viz family on November 29, 1996, when the police picked up Rakesh after the murder of his friend Sanjay Singh.
"The four days I spent in the lockup were like hell," says Rakesh, 25. "I was denied food, water and sleep, and the cops beat me as if they were beating on a log. They pulled my teeth out, they poured icy water all over my body as I lay shivering in the extreme cold and brutally hit me with lathis. I lost count of how many times I lost my consciousness." He lay comatose for two months in hospital.
All that the police wanted of him was that he name someone in the murder case.
But the BCom student of the Banaras Hindu University, who lies crippled for life, is not the only sufferer in the Viz family. The incident has also crippled the business of his father, Raj Kumar Viz, 60. Prolonged legal battle, heavy expenses, virtually no earnings and the mental trauma have forced Rakesh's brother and sister to discontinue their studies.
"It is like a deluge that has ruined my entire family. You can imagine the condition of a father whose young son is bedridden, living dead," says Raj Kumar in a choked voice.
Thanks to several social organisations that sent petitions, the National Human Rights Commission last November asked the state government to pay Rs 10 lakh as compensation. The government paid him Rs 2 lakh and deposited the balance in a bank account in his name.
The commission also directed the government to bear all expenses for Rakesh's treatment either at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi or at PGI, Lucknow. "But the government is yet to respond," says Rakesh. Nor has the government acted on the recommendation for disciplinary action against five police officials and doctors who submitted a false report that Rakesh had not suffered any grave injury in police custody. The doctors' report even claimed that he was recovering fast.
Raj Kumar then persuaded the commission to get his son examined by a different group of doctors. AIIMS doctors, who re-examined him, confirmed that his spinal cord was compressed and this debilitated his legs. The injuries had also hampered his bowel movement and damaged the bladder, and he was suffering from severe post- traumatic stress disorder as well.
"We are so grateful to the commission," says Raj Kumar. The commission had earlier taken up the case of two BHU students, Manoranjan Singh and Sarvendra Mishra, killed in police firing on the campus in 1997, and granted their families Rs 15 lakh each as compensation.
The compensation may bring some relief to the Viz family, but life for Rakesh remains a torture.
