Highest praise to the prison authorities for moving gang members who follow RJD MP Shahabuddin, excuse me CONVICT Shahabuddin. This MUTT is an inmate and a convict of your correctional system. He and his thugs should be treated and spoken of as CONVICT or INMATE so and so. I suggest that these mugs who pray on the poor and defenseless of the Bihar not be afforded any of the respect that they no longer deserve, i.e., RJD MP etc. They are down at the bottom of the heap of society. Further don't identify them by gang affiliation; this only serves to make their position somehow important.

The correctional staff did a great job in putting down the riot at the facility. Of special note was the way the staff responded including the Superintendent. I understand that some of the staff including the Superintendent were injured. I hope they have recovered.

 

Comments:
Talking of the poor and defenseless people of Bihar, there are different perspectives to look towards their plight.

The intellectuals design a system after a long and tedious thought process. Once the (new) system is in place, the flaws start appearing and the scope changes. We prefer patches to fix such loopholes instead of repeating the brainstorming. After a certain duration (and I believe we can calculate this duration scientifically), the system evolves into a completely different one from its original scope and intention.

The democratic system in India is evolving like any other system. We must remember that a terrorist is also a revered revolutionary freedom-fighter for some (sub-system). Eliminating the terrorist does not change the sub-system to conform to the main system (not inclined to change). If we apply force (patch) to suppress the revolution (instead of brainstorming on the main system), it creates its own ripple effect to other subsystems.

To be more specific, the politicians with criminal background are the symptoms of an inherent mutation taking place in our social system. Some of these politicians actually play the role of the military for (a section of) the poor and defenseless people (What kind of democracy is that where poor are defenseless?).

The police are (vital) part of the system. While they must be praised for performing their duty with courage and discipline, there are many other subsystems which also have to evolve and adapt to changes for the system to move to a less volatile state (till it completes another cycle).

Please understand that I have no personal sympathy towards any politician of whatsoever background. This is no attempt to justify the acts of crime or exonerate a criminal. My subject of focus was 'the poor and defenseless people of Bihar' and no individual claiming to represent them. I know there would be many readers who may not agree with my thoughts and they must have their own valid theories and experiences for that. - Kumod Jha - Mar. 23, 2007
