Punishment

Punishment is the key word all the time. If somebody is not giving proper attention to his work or causing disturbance to others person is needed to be punished. I remember I was very naughty in my childhood. Getting inspired by Kaji Najrul's Poem "Lichu Chor",I developed a habit of stealing mangoes.lemon,guavas,flowers from other's garden. One day my father got frustrated by getting repeated complaints from neighbors and broke few sticks on my back,stopped my food and locked me for 12 hours. Even the child within me got ashamed and stopped actions which is not proper. I remember I was beaten mercilessly by my school teacher for complaining against my teacher. I complained that teacher has not checked my answer sheet of Mathematics properly.My father knew I was naughty but I was not dishonest. My father took the matter to higher authorities.I proved my teacher wrong again by appearing in a fresh examination.I was rewarded and my teacher was rebuked. If the teacher was not punished for his wrong work,he could have repeated his deed again to other students. So Every punishment has a positive value for correcting your faults.

Our problem is in the modern day India that we are reluctant to give punishment to the offender. School teachers are not allowed to give punishment to the erring students,so students finding it difficult to correct themselves. In the name of activism we are abolishing system of Pass/Fail in examination. Even the numbers are not allowed to mention. As a resultant of that students finding difficult to assess their quality and education system deteriorating. Actual offenders are not being punished. Since teachers can not take extra effort to improve weak student they are taking a short cut route. Instead of students, teachers should have been punished by settling accountability of developing weak student.

Our neighbor is Pakistan.Since independence they are allowed to invade our territory,forcibly capture our land. They first thought they will keep ourselves busy with war against them. They lost every battle but continued disturbance. In 1971 both sides engaged in big war.Not only we won the battle but captured 91000 soldiers from their side.But still we did not punish them. We fed all soldiers in our soil for more than year but later released them. The resultant of not punishing their people is still felt even today. Enemy understood that they can not win battle against us ,at the same time we will not punish our enemy. So they started proxy war against us.They targeted common men instead of soldiers. They are continuing their act as they know,hardly any conspirator will get punishment. Our court has directed death sentence for two dreaded terrorists Afjal Guru and Kasab. But we are not taking action.It is obvious that this is giving joy to anti-India forces.If terrorists' were punished in right time,Pakistanis did not have audacity to attack us or to involve both parties busy in proxy war. Not only that our authorities are hesitating to say in the media that which religious group is responsible for the attack. They are avoiding to name the religion even. This is giving more confidence to the enemies.They are getting indication their punishment is absolute impossible in India. If you want to remove enemies,you will have to punish them.

If it becomes a trend that we will not punish people of minority and humiliate majority for every action,then one time will come when no crime will get punishment.
