Somedays ago Amartya Sen, a Nobel Laureate,spoke on the verdict of Chattisgarh court sentencing doctor-activist Binayak Sen to life on sedition[pulling state down by violence] charge.According to him,he has been misjudged and wrongly punished for the crime which he never commited.Though Amartya Sen says that "the matter is subjudice.But as an Indian citizen,I must exercise my own judgement to ask if this verdict is correct.It cannot be suggeted that Binayak Sen,accused of sedition,because his writing indicate violence is wrong."
Binayak Sen,a doctor by profession,has been alleged to help the naxalites through his writings.But it seems that our political leader feel something different.They played a political motivated game and charged him for helping the naxalites and made him look like a traitor.
Bianayak's story is all about dedication of a great human being.It brings to light a miscarriage of justice.It focuses attention on Indian democracy.and it shapes vision of a future to which Binayak makes a big contribution.This verdict has a threatening nature and seem to have a political motivation.Any intelligent person would find that the judiciary acted very pecurily.
My view over this verdict is that i totally support Amartya Sen's views.We should understand what would be better for us in future.Binayak only showed the problems of naxalites.They are our own country people and country can't progress without taking them with us.It deals in things,not human beings, Binayak and others,including myself,believe that to judge a nations progress,we must see what is happening to people's life.
It also raises a question over our judiciary? On it being influenced by political pressure so as to deny someone from justice. Our country need to have a strong and independent judiciary so that no more incorrect verdict like Binayak's occurs.
