Many Indians (not all) believe that India is a great nation. These people don't even know what are the qualities that makes a nation "great". Law of any nation, and its implementation is one of the most important and fundamental factor in any countries greatness very important factor. India fails miserably on this front.
The most shameful fact for India is that most of the laws that make up the Indian Judicial system, are derived from the British. The very people, whom they drove out of their country. In fact, much of the criminal code, that is still followed in India is the creation of Lord Macualay, who by some accounts had scant regards of India's past.
In India the conviction rate is terribly less. More then 65% of people in Indian prisons are undertrials. Given the miserable conviction rate in India - hardly 25%. It is very clear that more then half of prisoners are wrongly imprisoned. More then 80% of arrests are made for bailable crimes. Such is the unjust legal system of India, which is actually tyrannical. Most Indians are infact are very much unaware of the reality. Even if they knew, as many of them are apathetic, they would just try to run away from the reality.
For the curious, have a look at data from NCRB (National Crime Research Bureau) http://ncrb.nic.in/
Fellow Indians, Are you still proud to be an Indian ?
