Caesar said power curropts and absolute power curropts absolutely. No matter whether its Manipur or custodial killings in POTA or Chattinsingpura massacre, the draconian laws which place certain people above law will always be misused. Its human. Rather than initiate such laws, judiciary should be strengthened to ensure failings in judicial system are addressed. Police should be empowered to rely on scientific evidence rather than use witnesses which often lead to wrong trials. At political level there is needed a revolution to give the power to people. Today Delhi runs a lot of states like colonies. While mass violations and land grabbing in Delhi Land Ceiling Act etc are pardoned, fundamental rights of small peasants are violated with impunity in the name of development whether its Narmada dam or Nandigram no matter which government is in power. As long as this continues, seperatist movements will only strenthen. Also the rights of different regions need to be recognized rather than run the government for the benefit of those regions which have political clout bcoz of their ever increasing population
