Two millennium before Jesus Christ
was crucified by Jews with the permission of Pilate. Even though 6 courts
consistently failed to find any mistake of Jesus, Pilate sentenced him to
death. Iron Law of Rome says, “Don’t
punish an innocent person even if we set free 100 criminals. But what happened
to the person who came to heal the world. There is no contradiction in the case
other great men in the history. After centuries and centuries the fact of
‘crime and punishment’ remains same. Let’s look in to the current scenario;
there are large number innocent people still in jails. While ruling the people
of India, around 502 members in Parliament have charged with certain crimes. We
may take up the cudgel while realizing that the rate of conviction of sexual harassers
or rapists is only 23%. Also in different underdeveloped states a large number
of hapless people forced to admit crimes of others. Among these marginalized
Dalits are the major victims of these evil fists. It is the complexity and
burden of laws make our legal system more complex and cumbersome.
But in the other side ‘only truth
alone triumphs’! in other way ‘your sin will find you out today or tomorrow.
It’s a natural truth. If truth triumphs, crime also has a day for hanging. This
is what happened to the protagonist in the novel ‘Crime and Punishment’.
Everyone has the freedom to do anything, but you are expected to receive the
results of your actions. Almost all religious texts and Vedic literatures tried
to depict this truth.
Let me conclude with a meaningful
statement in the Holy Bible, it goes like this; “he who is unjust, let him be
unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who righteous; let
him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still. And Behold, I am
coming, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work.”
(Revelation 22.11,12). Albeit you are now escaped from the cuffs of Penal Code,
there is law of nature that is beyond the rule of law, will be caught you
sooner or later. Look at the catastrophes in the nature, why global warming
happens, why acid rain occurs and why we fear about climate change? It is the
results of our actions.
Realize the truth and keep ourselves
away from evil doings so that we can avoid the end results.
