BENGALURU - INDIA'S CRIME CAPITAL.

(28/07/2021)

Greetings for the day. Here I am beginning with my first blog or post whatever you can say. To begin with let's straight away come to the point. Many blogs have been written till date, with each blogger expressing his heart and mind on various issues. So I am too putting my heart and soul into a subject, which is present throughout the world, and each country has its own law policy when it comes to dealing with i.e. crime.

Here are my experiences of living in a city based in Karnataka in India for four months. Bangalore or Bengaluru as you can call it, is considered as the IT hub of India, a city from where United States of America sources the highest number of software professionals for working in projects in its own backyard. But apart from being the Information technology hub of India, Bengaluru is also the hub for highest number of crimes, along with New Delhi.

Though I have stayed in Pune too a city in neighbouring Maharashtra state another IT hub, and visited Mumbai which is close by, but never ever had this fear psychosis of happening to see gang wars, because the law and order machinery in Pune, Pimpri - Chinchwad and Mumbai was by far very much in control by police authorities there. So why Bengaluru has become lawless? during my four months of stay there, every morning I happen to open the newspapers and the Bengaluru section showed up at least one or two murders, the result being gang wars. The killers regular criminals and their victims also history sheeter's. These gangsters or rowdies carried on with their killings on the streets of Bengaluru with so much audacity, that they never possessed any fear of law. The recent killing of Joseph Babli who himself a rowdy inside a bank in Koramangala, highlights the brazenness of killers, that Joseph was chased inside the bank, and hacked to death in broad daylight in front of scores of customers and bank employees, goes on to show complete failure of law and order machinery in Bengaluru.

Not just this, another murder of a former corporator Rekha Kadiresh that too in broad daylight in cotton pet area of Bengaluru, was an added feather in hat for an inefficient Bengaluru police. Slaying rivals in daytime in full public view, indulging in rowdism, road rage, harrasing innocent people, chain snatching gangs over bikes on prowl in every area, So where is the Bengaluru police in picture, that is the question?

And why rowdies in Bengaluru have no fear of police?

Bengaluru police and Karnataka politicians are to be blamed for this. The answer here lies in police - criminal - politician nexus. Also you may be surprised to know that Karnataka state ranks top in corruption index in whole of India. Power hungry politicians, greed for money and coupled with it the biggest major factor which has led to rise in goondaism is land deals. Bengaluru city is considered as one of hot cakes for real estate market, land grabbing is rampant and where higher acre's of land is involved for deals corrupt politicians, mafias and police are hand in glove.

Though land is very less available in Bengaluru urban areas and even if available, the prices are skyrocket and rowdies ultimately with blessings of politicians get involved. This rowdies - karnataka politicians nexus have blossomed to such an extent, that middle class families, who despite can afford to own plots at higher prices never dare to get involved. The problem begins from the bottom of organizational hierarchy in police department. The rot is so deeper that for example, say five out of every ten constabulary rank officials within Bengaluru police force, are hand in glove with the rowdies, this relates to daily hafta collection or in simple language extort money through these rowdies from hawkers, bar restaurant owners, share in commission arising out of disputed land deals and many illegal activities done by these rowdies. The buck does not stop here, the Bengaluru traffic police have a set target of collection fixed by every DCPs in their respective zones, so regular office goers either in two wheelers, four wheelers, rickshaws, commercial vehicles face the brunt of hafta collection. What an irony! Never ever in the history of Policing across the world, has there been so much rampant corruption, as has been the case with Bangalore police.

Kamal Pant Bengaluru police chief : completely clueless.

But then whose responsibility is it to discipline the Police?

Karnataka is a state, which has seen two parties struggle for power, back in 2018 Congress - JDS (Janata Dal secular) combine wrestled power from BJP (Bharatiya Janata party) headed by BS Yeddyurappa. Kumaraswamy son of former prime minister Deve Gowda became the chief minister, the BJP despite being the single largest party could not garner the numbers required to form the government. But two years later the tide turned completely in BJP's favour, the biggest drama unfolded in Karnataka, with accusations of horse trading leveled by Congress - JDS combine against BJP. The Kumaraswamy govt was reduced to a minority, and it failed to retain power. The BS Yeddyurappa led BJP stormed to power in Karnataka. Power tussles are nothing new in Indian politics, but the sad part is the lust for power has taken a huge toll on law and order machinery in Bengaluru. The Karnataka politicians already neck deep in corruption, have left the city to rot at the mercy of rowdies. Another major factor for rise in hooliganism is the patronage provided by political parties to rowdies, take any party be it the Congress, the BJP or JDS have rowdies seated at their party offices, the favour these goons do for these political class may vary, it may be anything even getting a cup of tea for the party youth leaders or district incharge, distribution of pamplets during elections many other things and obviously the favour is returned, with blessings of these political parties rowdies have a say, in every tender issued by the Karnataka government, almost 99% of contracts sourced out by the local corporation body of Bengaluru i.e. the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike has been handed over to rowdies, whether related to garbage collection, disposal, road repair contracts etc. When elections are round the corner, the hooliganism is at its peak, these very leaders are accompanied by these rowdies, threatening people who raise their voices, gangwars involving rowdies from rival political parties, if an in-depth analysis is done of the extent of criminals invasion into political parties, shocking as it may sound close to 80% of these so called party workers are rowdy elements. As it is said, the strong basis for students to pass with good marks in school and later to excel in life and become ideal citizens of the country, the onus lies on the principal and teachers and the education imparted in schools getting students to value good culture, respect for one another, and focus on studies. If one or two students fail in all these aspects, the blame can be put on students themselves, but just imagine if the whole class fails, then obviously the principal, the teachers are responsible. So the same applies to the police force of a state as well, the police department is a big school in itself, and the chief minister of the state is the principal and teachers his respective cabinet colleagues, so they are the torch bearers for these law enforcement agencies, and giving them guidance drafting policies is the sole responsibility of chief minister his cabinet colleagues. But here the entire Bengaluru police machinery has failed miserably and politicians governing the state are solely responsible.

BJP has been at the helm of Karnataka for almost two years now, even in these two years chief minister BS Yeddyurappa and his home minister colleague Basavraj Bommai miserably failed to bring crime rate down in Bengaluru. What can you expect from a police force, when the chief minister himself is embroiled in an illegal land deal. The bench of Karnataka high court led by justice Ravi malimath and Micheal Cunha even refused to give him any relief on the matter. Also infighting within the state BJP, and some leaders unhappy with Yeddyurappa's style of functioning has led to the CM busy trying to save his own govt, fighting his detractors, leave development of state at God's mercy and Bengaluru of course at rowdies mercy. And finally infighting within the BJP took its toll, Mr. BS Yeddyurappa resigned from the CMs post. And as usual came the drama with his resignation, an emotional Yeddyurappa in tears thanking Prime minister Modi, Amit Shah and JP Nadda for giving him an opportunity to serve the people of the state. Mr. Yeddyurappa we can understand your emotions but you should have stopped at that, your immature and misleading comment that, "Bengaluru is turning into a world class city" is the biggest Joke of the millennium. The reality is you and your predecessor Mr. Kumaraswamy have turned Bengaluru into a world class gangsters city.

Former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa : equally responsible for lawless Bengaluru.

Corruption in police department is not something new and is prevalent across India. Also let me make it clear, not all cops are corrupt, there are a few who put their heart out and perform their duties. Even in Bengaluru police department there are officers at constabulary rank, inspectors, senior inspectors, who have excellent track record in curbing crime and have acted tough against rowdies but there are also a few with questionable track record and it is this few dark sheep within the police that has led to rowdies wrecking havoc in the city. Also this time things really aren't good in Bengaluru at all. Though police chief Pant on his behalf is doing everything thing to bring crime rate down, Bengaluru CCB has siezed a large cache of drugs, several drug peddlers have been nabbed, several rowdies homes have been raided a large cache of weopans recovered, but still the rowdies menace has been increasing in Bengaluru rapidly.

Mr Kamal Pant now you also need to bring the hammer down harder on some of your own men, women within the force, who have links with these rowdies. Cleaning must also be done at home. There was a time when Mumbai city in Maharashtra state, also known as the financial capital of India was under the grip of the underworld gangs in 90s, things had totally spiralled out of control due to gangwars, prominent builders, film personalities, small time business men became victims for refusal to pay extortion and some for links with rival gangs.

It took the combined effort of the Mumbai police who formed hit squads later on called as encounter specialists to eliminate the gangsters. And the credit for completely wiping out the underworld from Mumbai, goes to then Mumbai police commissioner Mr. MN Singh. Bengaluru is facing the same problem today, that Mumbai faced in 90s. And Bengaluru police commissioner Kamal Pant will have to take a leaf from what MN Singh did in Mumbai.

Also political interference in police working has been the biggest problem in India. That police work under political pressure is not a hidden secret. And this has been one of the reasons for rowdy explosion in Bengaluru. Rowdies enjoy political patronage, from all three the Congress, JDS and BJP. In Mumbai the police turned a deaf year to political influence, and took on underworld in a spirited way under guidance of MN Singh. Certainly Bengaluru police go weak in their knees when it comes to politicians, and none but Mr Kamal Pant will have to put his foot down on such interferences, when it comes to dealing with rowdies, even if it means confrontation with a ruling party and also take action against political leaders who are linked to these rowdies. Kamal Pant and Bengaluru police have a long long way to go if they want to rid Bengaluru from gangsters. And I have no doubt at all that things have come to a level where Bengaluru cops have to form a separate hit squad to eliminate the rowdies like Mumbai police did.

Also Bengaluru being an IT hub and one of the cities with higher number of foreign tourists visiting for trips as well as official company work, such lawlessness does not augur well for the city, the image of Bengaluru has already taken a severe beating at international level and it will have severe consequences. Foreign direct investment will be hit, if things don't improve, that day won't be far when other countries start issuing advisory or warning to its citizens to deter from visiting Bengaluru, as it has already happened in New Delhi's case, and if it happens in Bengaluru's case prime minister Narendra Modi's 'ache din' or 'good days' of his promise to citizens of India will be dented beyond repair.

War, pride, peace and issues of social life..

Seeing India/Pak tension, which could even lead to war, i wanted to mention an incident.

My father and mother are great parents. I am proud and happy to born for my parents. My father did not ask for even a single paise from his parents during partition. He earned everything in his life due to hard work and love for family. He is an ultimate hard worker. He was a workshop owner and had the biggest workshop in Muvatyupuzha locality during Ambassador/contessa/premier-padmini car times. Due to the reason a workshop owner, he had good relationships with richest people in locality who owns car.

My house is partially on hill side. When i was studying at 8th or 9th standard i guess, i do not remember the time exactly, but during my teenage time having said now my age is 38, we called a JCB and leveled our land where house is located. My house and land had proper border with trees are planted on border and also with some stones placed on border. We already had a wall constructed on one side of house and my father wanted to construct wall in the front side of house where we share the border with neighbor family.

We had and have a good relationship with all neighbors, but on minimal aspects.

With the plan of constructing a wall, my father spoke to the neighbor and tried to decide on the border line. We had a real border with stones and trees on border. Though we had a good relationship with neighbor, when the issue of border came of deciding the border line, the neighbor told a brick length of my land border is their property, which actually is ours as per my father. My father argued it is the property of ours and there are stones laid on the border. But neighbor was making strong argument though there was stones put for border.

End of the day, my father lost a brick length of land across the border of house. My father told me, since he is busy with work at workshop, he did not go for a quarrel.

Here i wanted to remind you few points:

1. If my father was using his full scale connections in politics or police or governing authorities of locality, we might not have lost a brick length land on the border. But my father was busy and not interested for a quarrel.

2. If either me or my father was a rowdy, the neighbor would not even have dare to speak on the border line issue, because of fear.

3. If we were going for a quarrel using knife and gun like a ton of cases happening in Kerala on land property border line issues , we would not have lost a brick length border land across the border.

End of the day, my father did not go for a fight with neighbor and we still maintain a good relationship with all neighbors at the price of brick length border property.

But end of the day there is a question. WHAT DID MY FATHER LOST OR GAIN?. In simple words my father lost some land and gained constant happy relationship with neighbor.

IMAGINE WHAT MY FATHER COULD DO IN THIS SITUATION:

1. My father could use his relationship in politics and police and other government, politics to get involve and help us positively.

2. My father could take knife and gun and go for pucca rowdism. In this case, they may also do same. And do a war till we get our land back.

3. Keep quiet and maintain PEACE AT HOME, FAMILY AND NEIGHBOR HOOD.

In my family my father chose the last option. The neighbor of us are not very rich family and my father might have thought, let it go.

But I will say if father was using political or government authorities to help us solve our land border issues without taking gun and knife it was THE BEST CASE SCENARIO. We would not have lost some land on border.

NOW I WILL COME TO INDIA/PAK RELATIONSHIP. Every time, Pakistan driven and supported terrorist groups will come to india and will put bomb on heart of india. Few examples are 1. Pulwama attack 2. Parliament attack 3. Taj hotel Mumbai attack 4. Uri attack etc and list is endless

Since it’s terrorists, india will be puzzled who to blame. And the government authority in Pakistan primarily is army not even people elected prime minister of Pakistan. Terrorists supported army lead Pakistan government. Then what India will do?

1. India can not attack civilians of Pakistan in revenge 2. India can not go for war, because india has so much to lose 3. India can not even attack terrorists base working from borderline of india/Pakistan

MEANING INDIA IS BECOMING SPEECHLESS EVERY TIME TERRORISTS ATTACK HAPPENS JUST LIKE MY FATHER WAS SPEECHLESS ON BORDERLINE ISSUE OF MY HOUSE LAND, INDIA WAS ALSO SPEECHLESS ON TERRORISTS ATTACK JUST LIKE MY FATHER. FUNDAMENTALLY THEY DO NOT WANT TO RETALIATE TO KEEP PEACE.

India used to say, PEACE. India always lost things from mother land when talks about PEACE. Pakistan and terrorists had nothing to lose IF COMING TO INDIA FOR DOING A FIREWORKS SHOW EVEN IN CASE OF PARLIAMENT ATTACK.. I will say we were overwhelmed LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH.. What American would have done if White House is attacked?

One way PEACE is good. Say for example, if my father was a rowdy, with no sense of mind, taking a gun or knife going to attack neighbor for a piece of land, we might not have lost some land. But THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE. My father with this ATTITUDE OF TAKING GUN OR KNIFE IN LIFE ALL THE TIME FOR EVERY ISSUES WILL GET INTO SO MUCH PROBLEMS IN LIFE. IMAGINE INDIA IS GOING FOR WAR KIND OF SITUATION EVERY TIME A PULWAMA TERRORIST ATTACK KIND OF INCIDENT HAPPENS. HOW NIGHTMARE?. Imagine both my father and india has an attitude, FIRE, WAR, GUN, KNIFE ON EVERY ISSUES ON SITUATION LIKE THIS. It will spoil HAPPINESS AND PEACE OF FAMILY..

We need a solution THAT WILL SOLVE ONLY “THE PROBLEM OF COUNTRY OR FAMILY “ WITHOUT UNDER DOING OR OVER DOING..

If my father is taking knife/gun on every issues, people including neighbor will tell about my father, HALF CRACK PERSON AND DO NOT GO FOR A FIGHT WITH HIM. The same way, if INDIA is looking for WAR WITH PAKISTAN whenever terrorists attack happens, people will call INDIAN PRIME MINISTER A MANIAC OR HALF NUT. Global leadership will call Indian prime minister or Indian leadership a A WAR LOVING HITLER OF MODERN CENTURY.

But at the same time we have an issue in hand. Our neighbor is calling bad words to our family or country. They come for destroying our land. Our neighbor is cutting our land to piece. HOW WE CAN SOLVE THIS ISSUE?

That is the SAME SITUATION NOW INDIA HAS GOT. Till 2018 india was speaking only about PEACE, not forgetting wars between india Pakistan though.. But now in 2018, we talks different. We talk about PRIDE.. It is also a fact that PRIDE ABOVE A THRESHOLD IS MENTAL RETARDATION..imagine Indian leadership is mentally retarded..?

If INDIA PAKISTAN TENSIONS were leading to war, including me everybody would have called Indian prime minister a half nut or a WAR LOVING MANIAC.

But in the case of PULWAMA SURGICAL STRIKE 2.0 and subsequent issues even in the case of Abhinandan release shows the RIGHT DIRECTION OF global political diplomacy of our prime minister and his team... Global diplomatic leadership were convinced that 1. WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR WAR, 2. WE DID NOT KILL EVEN A SINGLE CIVILIAN OF PAKISTAN, 3. WE KILLED AND DESTROYED ONLY TERRORIST’S FASCILITIES INSIDE A JUNGLE IN PAKISTAN.. We don’t need WAR, but senseless retaliation ideas of Pakistan may even cause WAR..

After taking every steps to convince global diplomatic leadership and after we get every support from global leadership, if Pakistan is inviting WAR, I also will say WAR IS NOT BAD IDEA. DEFINITELY WAR IS BAD BUT IF WAR IS THE ONLY WAY 100%, ITS NOT REALLY A BAD IDEA..BUT WE SHOULD TRY TO STOP WAR SITUATIONS 100%..

IN CASE OF PULWAMA, INDIAN LEADERSHIP DID A GOOD JOB.. There may be attempts to use this WAR situation politically in the future connecting stating that its victory of only one or two political entities or parties .. But if without war, if Pulwama surgical strike ends, its victory of leadership..its victory of diplomacy.. But at the same time.. If today or tomorrow, if a WAR is starting, we will call all these leadership people CRACKS OR NUTS who use WAR for a cheap political gain..

But if war is not starting and could gain GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUPPORT just like now, it’s so far awesome. So far so good..

Then WAR is bad.. Even I have people in army from family.. It’s hyper tension situation when we think about such situations of WAR..

But in situations like this, doing nothing is NOT THE SOLUTION.. Congress ruling always were looking for PEACE may be for the reason they know what is war between india and Pakistan.. But they always speak PEACE.. Just like my father did on a border line issue with neighbor.. Its great peace of mind and happiness one way.. WHY A FIGHT? WE ARE NOT GAINING ANYTHING IF ITS WAR AND HAS GOT LOT TO LOSE IN A WAR/FIGHT SITUATION..

But if someone can handle like prime minister Narendra Modi did in a way, till March first week, it’s GOOD, A REALLY NICE ****ing awesome good job. At the same time, he should not make it as a constant attitude or he should not become a fan of retaliation or surgical strikes..

Surgical strikes should have a PURPOSE... Retaliation should have a PURPOSE..

Say destroying fascilities of terrorist group in Balkot is a NICE PURPOSE in case of Pulwama attack. It’s a meaningful PURPOSE.. This entire tension is worth as long as we don’t kill civilians and not losing army soldiers..

The only thing is that JUST LIKE NOW HAPPENED, EVERY RETALIATION OR SURGICAL STRIKES SHOULD HAVE A PURPOSE THAT CAN BE MADE UNDERSTOOD TO GLOBAL DIPLOMATIC LEADERSHIP AND FINALLY GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUPPORT US ON OUR ISSUES AND POINTS..

It should not be an act of killing civilians on both sides to WIN ON ELECTION IN INDIA..

But Pulwama is so far so good.. It’s diplomatic victory.. It’s about destroying terrorists army.. It’s not about killing civilians on both sides.. Even the way Abhinandan release handled is awesome..

GREAT JOB TEAM.. If Indian leadership is not making it as habitual for every attack, retaliation of this scale with a tension even a war can happen of this kind if not happening repeatedly.. So far so good.. Great job Indian leadership..

P.S: Being proud of country is good. But WAR is blood, family, stability of country etc. We have so much to lose on a war. We should be more sensible like my father did in the case of border line of my house for constructing a wall. It’s OK to lose small small things for peace OR if can avoid a war. When you are so much proud, think about longer term goals and your priorities in life. When a prestige issue comes, weight against the losses of war and decide. Fix your priorities..Happiness comes out of right kind of priorities not from heroism. But it’s OK to be bad as long as your arguments are valid, sensible and true.. No hurt feelings my dear neighbors.
