What was our legal system before the British took control of us and introduced English legal system??.In what way was it superior to the system we presently have.?? We were then ruled by the Mughals and I believe that they had the Qazi, Kotwal and Qued khana. What was the source of their law, was it based on equity or law or both or just what the Quaran said about the crime and punishment in a given situation.. Just imagine, what system of law would have existed today if the British had not come. Would it have been able to cope with the growing complexities of the society.?? What quality, and the level of legal intellect would have been applied in arriving at a judgement which would have also served as legal precedent.
You are right about the "hegemony of the British and their own need. After all they were ruling a country as big as India. It needed a fully developed social order, a transport system, and law and order machinery. without which they would have been unable to rule.
I agree with you that litigation in India is prohibitively expensive and atrociously slow and no doubt people are afraid to get involved any kind of legal action. Devinder.

This judicial system supresses everything. People fear going to courts and the police. What use is such system that is so expensive, have no regards for local custom, culture. Our old system was pretty good, swift and delivered justice. No doubt, it needed some reforms. Its a matter of detail, can not discuss so much online. We could have continued with old system with reforms, but , then, it would not have allowed hegemony for the British. So, they brought their own, to suit their own needs.On Sun, Oct 12, 2014 at 2:26 PM, <devinder.thakur@btopenworld.com> wrote:Most of the European Laws as well as the American laws are based on the British Law.

In our country, we have adapted Indian Penal Code,1860 enacted by Britishers to supress the growth of our culture. Please o through the Statement dated 2nd February,1835 of Lord Mccauley.You can see the same on Face-Book of RajnishAbrol.The plan of the State Government failed as on 26th November,2008, it was meant for Sadhvi Pragya.

WWW : http://indiaagainstcorruption.net.in/It is premature to say whether she has been punished enough or not. If we go by the gravity of the alleged crime, she has not spent enough time in jail, because such crimes entail a long term in imprisonment and any time spent in prison, waiting for the trial is adjusted against the eventual prison sentence. This can only be decided by a fair and speedy trial which she is being denied.The fact that she is a Sadhvi, has no value in the eyes of law. Her status is that of a citizen and that is what she will be treated as. Sadhvi's do not get involved in criminal conspiracies to kill other people. Another political Sadhvi got away lightly was Uma Bharati who confessed to instigating the demolition of a historic structure. DevinderFrom: Diwan Singh <diwans2007@gmail.com>

I support this mail. shadvi pragya seems to be punished already without being convicted. She is a saint and deserve respect from the society.On 5 Oct 2014 01:33, <devinder.thakur@btopenworld.com> wrote:Dear Mr Roy, Thanks for the response.Apart from the Sandhni" aspect which arouses Hindu sentiments, the fact that three attempts at the Supreme Court level by both Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt.Col. Prohit to get bail were refused means that there is much more to the case than the public is aware of. Additionally, the fact that the RSS prachark Sunil Joshi who allegedly actually placed the bomb was bumped off, shows that he knew too much and his existence was dangerous for the ideologues he was working for. The alleged confession by Pragya Singh Thakur that she was responsible for his murder because he made amorous advances towards her is hardly a credible story and looks like an attempt at a cover up for it..

Dear Mr. Thakur
BJP under dynamic CM of MP is doing everything in its power to save
his Govt the embarrassment of having the poor lady die in a MP Govt
hospital.
Our Pavlovian barking dogs on this list may not know all the facts.
The Dewas Police has recently discovered startling new evidence that
murdered RSS pracharak Sunil Joshi (who was in hiding after allegedly
murdering 2 Cong MPs) was a liquor kingpin and made sexual advances to
the innocent Sadhvi. This allegedly outraged her rakhi brothers who
were associated with Joshi in his businesses and they formed a
conspiracy in which the poor Sadhvi was also roped in.
The National Investigative Agency has taken this new information very
seriously and is approaching the court to get Sadhvi's name deleted as
an accused. It is widely expected that if any unfortunate event occurs
to Sadhvi post her release, attempts shall be made to see the senior
Congress leadership in MP shall suffer like Congress suffered in
Chattisgarh.
