'free india???'

During a recent visit to my native place I came across an old man probably in his 80s or 90s… a freedom fighter in his days having fought against the british, even going jail…. Playin a part in indias freedom struggle… he had a piece of land which was occupied by a man who refused to vacate it… farmer by profession the old man wanted to use it to meet his own living… since the man refused to vacate the old man thought of approachin the authorities for the same…. I don’t know wht he may have felt in his heart whn he was told by the local police to either take some money or forget the land as he was so old n unnecessaraily he may take up enemity with the ruffian…. He then decided to go to court…. His advocate told him to settle the matter outside as the court may take years to give a verdict and he may lose the land in the process or die…. I tried to place myself in his shoes n gave it a thought…. Was this the freedom I fought for???? Was this for I went to jail???? If I had known that the ‘new n free india’ would be like this then I may as well have enjoyed my life n not given it for the sake of ‘these people’…. I might as well have died of an heart attack hearing all this…. It was so pathetic to hear all this…. Wht respect are we giving to a person who dedicated all his life so that we would be ‘free’….
Well the old man did get his land back…. How??? Well a local politician helped him get the land back using ‘threat n power’!!!! not by legal means….
Does it mean that the legal system has gone to scrap…and you are ‘right’ only if u have power and money???
