Letters-17: "“Dysfunctional System”"

There is no doubt that our judicial system is highly inefficient and ineffective (“Just another day”, The Hindu, April 20, 2008). All of us know it very well, some may have had the unfortunate experience of the bitter truth. But who is willing to bring a change? Sense of responsibility and compassion for fellow citizens are rapidly vanishing from our society. Those in responsible positions seldom feel moved by seeing others in distress or being inconvenienced. Rarely do they feel guilty for having failed, for no external compelling reasons, in fulfilling their duties. Fulfillment of selfish interests of material nature and earning wealth by any means have become the primary objectives of life – Dr.Y.P.Joshi, Varanasi, Letter to the Editor, The Hindu, Sunday Magazine, April 27, 2008.
