CRIME, CRIME EVERYWHERE


Venezuela with a crime rate of 84.86 is the most crime prone country in the world. Quatar with a crime rate of 12.00 and UAE with 15.52 are the countries with lowest rate of crime. India ranks 65 with a crime rate of 42.38. While Finland, Canada and New Zealand are the safest countries for women,  India is one of the most unsafe countries for women in the world along with Afghanistan, Syria and Somalia. 

We must certainly do something to erase this black mark. Until we clean the present political system of the country we cannot improve the situation. According to the reports published by The Hindu, India Today and the Business Standard 43% of the Members of Parliament have criminal background. In support of this they have quoted Association of Democratic Reforms. As per a report by India Today, from 2009 to 2019, there has been a rise of 850% in Lok Sabha MPs with criminal offences against women. In the last five years, recognised parties have given tickets to 41 candidates who had declared cases related to rape. A total of 572 candidates with declared criminal offences against women related contested in Lok Sabha and Assembly elections during the last five years. Non of these candidates has been convicted yet.

When considerable number of law makers themselves have criminal background, people cannot expect anything good from them. In fact the common man is constrained to believe that crime have legislative sanction here. Each Indian especially the youth should seriously ponder as to how we must clean the situation. A national referendum must be the only possible solution.

On the one side the Theological Leadership has become like army commandants and the so called believers community have become like armed revolutionists. In fact both do not know what they want to achieve. If it is aimed at any particular observation, one should very well know that Lord Jesus Christ has never taught even a prayer to the common man. The Lord said, "... when you pray, enter into your room, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret will repay you." (Mathew 6:6) When this is the way the Lord asked us to pray, the priesthood have got printed ship loads of prayers and circulated among the innocent faithful people. All the observances of today too have nothing to do with Jesus. The entire teaching of our Lord can be brought to a nutshell: "You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and wi...
