This article is spot on. Indian police do a good job overall. They are delivering a superlative service to citizens in this crisis, with little regard for their own health and safety, as they have done in other crises – be it the Punjab insurgency, terrorism in J&K, the Bombay blasts of 1992, and other terror attacks in India such as 26/11. The ordinary Indian policeman or woman works 12-14 hours a day, routinely works on holidays and suffers disproportionately from maladies ranging from hypertension to lung disease brought on by the rigors of the job. He or she faces obstacles no society should place in the path of its law enforcers – including corrupt political bosses (many of whom have heinous criminal records, often for murder and rape), a frequently lawless public and an antiquated judicial system that takes years, even decades, to decide cases and often lets offenders off scot free. Our policemen and women deserve better training, better welfare – especially housing, medical care and regular time off, a better judicial process and – above all – constitutional protection from the whims of politicians and bureaucrats, exercised through the power of transfers & postings.
