Coup On Law And Justice – 02 [How to make Justice]

Now a days in court, all such arguments, cross-examinations etc. everything is happening. But what is happening in the justice making, all of we know. I try to expose it you my level best in this writing. I narrate you another story of Maryada Ramanna.

అనగా అనగా …… ……….

In a village, there were two brothers. The younger was innocent man. The elder brother was cheat full man. When their father expired, he told both the sons to share his property equally. After the father’s death, the elder brother told younger “My dear brother! We have one cow which can give milk and a field. I take the back part of the cow and you take the front part of the cow. In field also you take the bottom part of the crop, and I take the upper part of the crop.”

The innocent young brother accepted this condition. Every day he used to feed the cow with grass, Bram etc. the elder brother used to take milk. That season, he sowed paddy in the field. At the time of thrashing, he had taken away the rice by leaving the dry straw to the younger brother, where as throughout the season, the younger brother had watered the field and protected the crop.

By noticing such cheat, next season, the younger brother selected upper part of the crop. This time, the elder brother sowed groundnuts. By watching this dispute, the neighbor farmers advised the younger brother, to approach Maryadha Ramanna. He had done the same.

When Maryadha Ramanna enquired in detail, he could notice the innocence of younger brother and the deceive of elder brother. He observed that the agreement of condition among them was perfect as per legal language. He guided the younger brother in such a way to get rid of the deceive.

As per his advice, the younger brother had disturbed the cow by threatening it with stick to beat on its head, when the elder brother came to it to sqeeze milk. Whenever he tried to have milk from the cow, the younger brother threatened it and it had kicked the elder brother who was trying to have milk at her udder with back legs. And finally, the younger brother brought a big sword to kill the cow. The elder brother tried to stop him. He said “No brother. With this cow, I have no use, every day with tedious industry I’m feeding this. But there is no milk to drink, no dung as fuel to my stove. It is waste to me. So I want to cut my part of the cow, to use its skin for my chap pals.”


Next day in field, the younger brother took a suckle and started to cut down the groundnut crop. When elder brother tried to stop him, he said “No brother. I don’t like to wait further. I want to take, my share as the upper part of the crop as it is green.” The elder brother got angry. They were driven to the village assembly.

Maryada Ramanna said “Yes; my dear men! The younger brother had such right to cut down his part of the crop; as well as the cow.”

The elder cried out and everybody in the village assembly laughed at him and scolded him regarding his cheat towards his own younger brother. He felt shy and agreed to compensate the exploitation he done in past on his younger brother and accepted to share the efforts and yields of the assets in future.

That’s the entire story.

In olden days, maximum proportion of the people was thirsty and hunger towards justice. When the cheating of any persons was exposed, they could laugh at him, hate him and made him to feel shy.

But now-a-days, maximum proportion of the people is thirsty and hunger towards money. They are considering the wealth of the man but not minding about the justice in these earnings. When the cheating of any person is exposed, maximum people are crazy towards him, treating him as hero or leader. By next turn elections, such person may become as politician. Such that people also responsible for the fallen down of human values in society.
