Even in independent India our leaders failed to instil confidence in WE THE PEOPLE about law.
By and large we, at all level - from a common man down the street up to the authority holding the drivers seat; the beggar in front of a religious shrine or the chairman of the largest industrial house, all continue with contempt against law.
Even in the board rooms , in close door political meetings,, in the office of law officers most of the energy is spent in conspiring against law, legal machinery and law enforcement officers. None of us come forward to admit that law has not been complied by us, please tell me how I can correct myself and now how I can ensure that law is not broken, not even unknowingly.
How many of us have come forward insisting the principles of strict liability at least in civil matters.
Why do not we decide that we will never, say never swear false affidivits.
Why do not we decide that an affidavit by me is binding on me in all circumstances, come what may and the greatest thing that has ti be hated in this Indian nation is forging and fabricating false documents, evidences and all who are associated with such document or evidence are liable for civil consequences and lack of mens rea , guilty mind can be looked into when it comes to criminality examination and her also the onus must be on pro-pounder and all concerned that they acted with due deligence.
Why can we not take a bit more responsibility now that we have raised level of literacy, infrastructure, resources, awareness.
Why can we not make ourselves more responsive to law we ourselves enact and are supposed to adhere to.
Why only tobacco products, other nonsenses are being advertised commercially , why cannot the fundamental duties be injected through micro level aggressive advertisement. Why law cannot be made a regular part of educational curriculum right from school level.
Why techniques of mass legal education , legal literacy, legal awareness be made a part of intern-sips and various training programmes. Even military, police, administrative, judicial, corporate,financial, banking, technical all training modules must carry proportionate sensitising exercise so that all entrants at any or all level of effective social interaction and ready to contribute for the society wit proportionate expectation from the society may feel ther share of social responsibility to-wards educating law to all sections of society inorder to seek more and more of legal compliance.
Until and unless we raise our national level of legal compliances of petty nature to the extent of 99.5% we cannot expect any place of honour internationally.
