Dignity and Justice is not negotiable

DIGNITY IS NOT NEGOTIABLE

One morning at our Law College, when our new teacher to "Introduction to the Rights" entered the classroom, the first thing that he did was to ask the name of a student who was seated on the first bench: "What is your name?"

"My name is Juan, Sir."

"Leave the classroom, and I don't want to ever see you in my class ever!" screamed the unpleasant teacher.

Juan was bewildered. When he got hold of his senses, he got up quickly, collected his belongings and left the classroom.

All were scared and angry, however nobody spoke anything.
"Well!" - said the new teacher, "whom do the enacted Laws serve?..."

We were afraid, but slowly gained confidence and we began to answer his questions.

"So that there is an order in our society".

"No"! The teacher answered

"To accomplish them."

"No"!

"So that the wrong people pay for their actions?"

"No! Is it that nobody knows to answer this question?!

"So that there is justice" said a girl timidly.

"At last! That's it... so that there is justice. And now, what is the use of justice"?

All began to feel uneasy by such rude attitude. However, we followed answering:

"To safeguard the human rights..."

"Well, what more?" asked the teacher.

"To differentiate the right from the wrong... To reward the good..."

Ok, that is not bad; however... answer this question:

Did I act correctly when expelling Juan from the classroom?..."

All were quiet, nobody answered.

"I want a decisive and unanimous answer!"

"No!" we all replied in unison.

"Could you'll say I committed injustice?"

"Yes!"

"And why did nobody do anything in that respect?

So why do we need Rules and Laws if we don't have the necessary will to practice them? Each one of you has the obligation of when you witness an injustice. All of you! Do not stay quiet, never again! Go and call Juan," he said staring at me.

On that day I received the most practical lesson in my course of Law.

When we don't defend our Rights, we lose our Dignity, and Dignity is not negotiable.

Be Compassionate for Life if you want to be TRULY Productive!

GREED is NOT GOOD!. Giftalism - Focus on building communities instead of Commodities. Build an Ecosystem for the GOOD! Generosity is Generative. It creates new value! Stop blind consumption and start GIVING without expecting RETURNS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_QLGvp_stI

Family Problems, Illness Major Causes For Suicide

July 24, 2014 by Chaitanya Mallapur 0 Comments

There were 134,799 suicides across the country in 2013, according to data released by National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) under Ministry of Home Affairs. That’s an increase of 12% year-on-year. It also means that there were 369 suicidal deaths every day in India or 15 every hour!

Family problems is the number one reason accounting for 24% (32,325) of the total suicides followed by illness at 19.6% (26,426). Almost 89 suicides were reported each day due to family problems while 72 deaths were reported because of ill health.  According to Johnson Thomas, Director of AASRA, a Mumbai based organisation, that has an helpline for people with suicidal tendencies, says that  they get almost 50-55 calls a day from people in distress and that the major reasons are lack of communication and misunderstandings in relationships, students unable to handle peer pressure etc.  He also highlighted the fact that suicide attempts made by females are more but go unrecorded where as males use more violent means to end life hence increasing their chances and numbers.

Other categories that accounted for suicides were  ”Other Causes ” 19.2% (25,838), Causes Not Know 15.6% (20965), Drug Abuse / Addiction 3.4% (4,591) and Love Affairs 3.3% (4,495).

Three categories saw a decline in suicides rates. Poverty, property dispute and physical abuse (rape,etc) reported a fall of 18.5%, 8% and 4%, respectively.

The ratio is skewed towards men as there were 248 male suicides every day in India. The overall male:female ratio of suicide victims was 67:33.

Maharashtra reported the maximum suicide deaths at 16,622 followed by Tamil Nadu (16,601), Andhra Pradesh (14,607), West Bengal (13,055) and Karnataka (11266).
