Thanks lot GAJA Madame

Bakamoona,

I did read up your posting. To me the essence of your question is whether armed groups without official power have the power to punish?

Legally no. Morally - if they have the authority - through their higher earned status and/or through unjust punishment by those in power, it is better they leave the punishment to Natural Justice for otherwise they may over punish and bring some of that back on to themselves. But to the extent they do not go over their limits they are not wrong.

love
gaja


Well. my intellectual capacity doesn t make it very easy to understand your subtle succinct & elegant answer-which I believe will be clear after some contemplation!

I need a bit more elaboratuion.
To me the situation appears to be like this.
1. There are thousands of poor villagers living in a vast area where an armed rebellion (The Naxalites) is in progress.
2. The rebels are from among these people-as usual in such situations - mostly coerced
3. The State have formed vigilante groups (Salwa Judun)& armed them and practically made them not answerable to any law. (informal but unquestioned absolute authority over life or death.)
4. Whole villages-men , women & kids are forced into camps controlled by the vigilantes. Rebel & non rebel-adult , child no distinction made

My questions are twofold.
a. Is the State doing the right thing?-
b. Does such state have the moral high ground-in which you appear to believe so much,
to dictate terms or even advise other States in conducting their own affairs -?

Thank You

Don't waste your time. Just keep in your mind, Sri Lanka is the richest country, and have no problems. It is a paradise on Earth.

I tried a lot with these guys...Seems they don't like to see the facts but love to talk anything they imagine which is totally ridiculous and enjoy the chat theirselves.

In simple terms, it is state's responsibility to treat all its citizenz equally irrespective of any religion, caste or ethnic and if the responsible state or any of its departments does not follow its ethics in treating the people equally, naturally others will involve to dictate the terms on the irresponsible behaviour of the state. It is nothing wrong and acceptable.
