That there is nothing like an independent judiciary.
Even in the United States, or the United Kingdom, or for theat matter the Bharatvarsh itself, the executive rules the roost and often either ignores the judiciary and passes legislations contradicting the the top judiciary body.
The shameless passage of Shah Bano legislation is such one piece.
A black spot on our Indian democracy that not only denuded the muslim women but also perhaps forced them into begging or prostitution.

Are you trying to say Pakistan is same as India? Sometimes cheese (democracy) can a little spoilt by flies but one should not exxagerate to compare it with chalk(Pakistani dictatorship).
No country is as diverse as India, yet we are a successful democracy with World's second fastest economy. Be proud of India.

dear s_khan, if you keep aside some supreme court judgements, where do you see impartial real justice. it takes 100 rupees to push forward a hearing date in all lower courts. we have funtional democracy but.... it is by no means a good one. look at state governments around you and you will see goons.

Hum sunne wale hain na...though I don't know the meaning of aranya roodan. The executive does not rule the roost in the West...they cut it down to size ages back,relatively speaking i.e. It's only in the East this kind of thing happens whether the shameless passage of Shahbano legislation or an even more shameless inaction on justice S.M. Krishna report...we're a morally bankrupt society. Jamal

My dear "on", your admission of not knowing the meaning of "aranya roodan" is appreciable.
Aranya = forest, jungle. roodan = weeping, let us say weeping loudly here.
Who is there to hear the roodan in an aranya ?
Bharatvarsh today has turned into a big dark aranya today.
And there is no one to hear the roodan of the onehundred crore Bharatvasis.
