Power When Unchecked………..
WE NEED THOSE POWER CHECKS IN PLACE
People with POWER start taking things
for granted. When they realize that nobody is there to check them or question
them, they start taking liberties and do things which legally or morally may
not be correct.
It is the confidence of the Power Players that
they can get away with anything which gives them the go ahead trigger
THE POWER
could be:-
Money Power-
Contractors & Businessmen going for shortcuts to success
Authority Power- Police, Bureaucrats, Politicians or Judiciary…those who control the various
resources
Muscle Power- Bullies
Intellectual Power – Hacking or well planned crimes
If a realisation or fear is there
that they won’t be spared for their wrongs or somebody is there watching them,
probably then excesses wouldn’t occur or shall at least get restricted to the
extent fear is inculcated among the people that they shall not be spared for
the wrongs committed.
So what is required / desired?
THE CHECKS
(the list need to be brain stormed for more practical/out of the box ideas for
easy/effective implementation)
A mechanism that helps check on the Power Players - their negative mentality i.e, an effective and efficient law and order system which ensures immediate justice/appropriate action against the culprit.
Watch Groups and Monitoring Agencies- RTI & Similar agencies or action groups (India Against Corruption)
Vigilant, Responsible and Supportive Media which enables the above
Genuine Opposition - a ray of hope like Aam Aadmi Party
Social Media Activism
