>India has such a strong and independent judicial system which does its job. Eh... no it does not. The Supreme Court has capitulated; it rubber stamps anything coming out of Modi Inc. Do you not follow whats going on? Why don't you address all of the issues that the parent poster bought up?

    How is that evidence for ‘capitalization’ or ‘rubber stamping’? What you may be complaining about is why is it illegal to contempt Indian Judiciary —- which is a different topic.

    The Constitution gives the judges enormous powers in the form of Contempt of Court act[1]. Unlike other draconian laws, this is not even talked about in open due to fear of courts. You have already mentioned Prashant Bhushan's case. There is this case of Justice Karnan, a sitting High Court judge, was punished for raising voice against some senior judges[2]. The outrage at the time was quite limited as he is not a known government antagonist. Ironically, Prashant Bhushan was also cheering the sentencing of Justice Karnan[3]. 1. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/the-hindu-explains-what-is-contempt-of-court/article32249810.ece https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/the-hindu-explains-wh... 2. https://theprint.in/opinion/india-turned-a-blind-eye-to-justice-karnan-an-outsider-prashant-bhushan-is-different/484656/ https://theprint.in/opinion/india-turned-a-blind-eye-to-just... 3. https://twitter.com/pbhushan1/status/861823918289571841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/pbhushan1/status/861823918289571841?ref_...

  Tell me the Supreme Court is doing its job when it hears the long pending cases on Aadhaar, electoral bonds and others of critical national interest. So far, it's just been busy playing around with telecom company dues, Tata Sons' dispute with Cyrus Mistry, etc.

  Afzal Guru was hanged for much less. Letting article 370 reform go unchallenged would be one example. It was an opportunistic edge case that allowed the federal body to decide on a state matter because the state government was temporarily missing and a caretaker government was in charge. Court chose to look the other way. One can arguesuch opportunism is legal as far as the letter of the law is concerned. It is common on legal proceedings for the spirit of the law to be upheld rather than the letter, except for business/commercial contracts.

    Yes sir, for people like you it doesn't matter, when article 370 is clearly articulated as temporary. Afzal Guru is a terrorist. There ends the matter, but for people like you Afzal Guru is innocent even after proven guilty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHzMoltemdg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHzMoltemdg For people like it doesn't matter, when > 4Lakh people were driven out of Kashmir by radical Islamists, with slogans: "Convert, Die and leave your women behind". It will also not matter, when a wife is forced to eat soaked rice of her husband's blood. It doesn't matter when women were raped, people were killed. It also doesn't matter when so many people were being radicalized in the name of religion. http://www.indiandefencereview.com/news/kashmiri-pandits-offered-three-choices-by-radical-islamists/ http://www.indiandefencereview.com/news/kashmiri-pandits-off...
