The major reason for all the lack of law and order in India is simply this : the police to population ratio is just 130 per 100000 people, well below the minimum police strength of 222 per 100000 people recommended by the UN.
Law and order is needed for healthy progress of the country in all sectors, and this is essentially provided by a good and effective police force.
All developed and progressive nations have a very good police to population ratio. France (356), Germany (298 ),Great Britain( 307 ), U.S.A (256),Spain (511),Belgium(373), Malaysia (370),Singapore(752) are examples.
Good law and order ensures a healthy society and a good background for economic development as well for obvious reasons.
If India aspires to be a developed nation, it should first increase the police to population ratio from its measly 130 at present to at least the UN recommended minimum police strength of 222.
Otherwise all these crimes and protests will keep on happening without any end at sight.

The Indian government need not get tense and worried about the costs of maintaining a 222 strong police to population ratio, as the strong economic development that comes with good law and order will more than compensate for the greater investment in the policing sector.

Are u a fool? Do you know how many CCTVs are there in UK, especially in London? Do you ever think that you can get away with even a small teasing act in London? Yes, its a burden on budget, but it saves our sisters and mothers.
We Indians are always short-sited. Even at this hour, we say the tinted glass of buses should be removed. What about the tinted glasses that are there on Cars and Vans that are there across India despite the ruling against having such glasses. Now we need to wait for another incident to happen on a car or van...

Not exactly. The weather in India is not the same as Western World. Its mostly sunny. Tinted glasses are there for a purpose, to avoid direct sunlight on to body, there by attracting people into their buses easily. But still this problem of tinted glass remains unanswered. Lets see how courts react this time.
