The truth is that due to systematic Goebbelsian communal propaganda and brain washing since 1857, first by the British, and after 1947 by certain political vested interests, today most Hindus in India are communal and most Muslims are also communal. Since the policy of most state governments in India is to recruit very few Muslims into the police, most policemen are also largely communal, and treat many Muslims as terrorists.
So whenever any bomb blast or other terrorist act takes place in India, the real culprits are rarely caught, and the the usual, time tested, course of action adopted by most policemen is to round up half a dozen or more Muslims and chargesheet them for the terrorist act.
Criminal investigation is a science. If we read the stories of Sherlock Holmes we see how Holmes solves a crime scientifically. In modern times, we see on Discovery Channel how crimes are solved in America, by scientific methods, e.g. collecting fingerprints, blood, ash, fibres, etc and examining them in a laboratory with DNA tests etc. On the other hand, in India most policemen are not trained in scientific investigation, nor are provided the scientific equipment for this purpose. Yet they are required to solve the crime, otherwise they may be suspended for incompetence. So what does the daroga do in cases of terrorist acts ? He rounds up some Muslims, as Muslims have been branded by propaganda as terrorists. and chargesheets them. False evidence is procured for this purpose. Bail is usually denied as the public prosecutor says to the court that the accused is a terrorist.
Often after 10 years or so the accused is found not guilty by the court, but who will restore so many years of his life spent in jail ? And who will give him a job now ? A typical case is of Amir who was 18 when arrested, and spent 14 years in jail, and was then acquitted, being found not guilty. There are several other such cases.
There are thousands of persons in jail in India who should be set free, e.g. Devinderpal Singh Bhullar, Abdul Qadeer, Zaibunnisa Qazi, etc. But who will do this ? Our judicial system has become unreliable and ineffective. The governments are apathetic and indifferent to human suffering ( unless it gets them some votes in elections ).
So the time has come to set up the Court of Last Resort ( see the concept in my blog ' The Court of Last Resort ' on justicekatju.blogspot.in ). This will be one of my top priorities on returning to India.
