1.2 Billion Angry Men - Part1

Day: Wednesday
Place: New Delhi
Time: 4:00 PMJudge – So gentlemen as you all know democracy is dead and these two gentlemen, the ones you see right in front of you have killed it. The first accused is the Government because it is cunning, selfish and self-centred and the second accused is Opposition. It is guilty because of the simple reason that it is sluggish, spineless and does nothing to support or criticize the Government. The case is clear as a crystal but since this is an important case, I appoint you this important task of finding if these are the real culprits. If they are guilty, they’ll be sacked and prosecuted. If there’s a reasonable doubt in your minds as to the guilt of the accused, uh a reasonable doubt, then you must bring me a verdict of “Not Guilty”. If, however, there’s no reasonable doubt, then you must, in good conscience, find the accused “Guilty”. However you decide, your verdict must be unanimous. In the event that you find the accused “Guilty”, the bench will not entertain a recommendation for mercy. The Sacking and prosecution sentence is mandatory in this case. You’re faced with a grave responsibility, thank you, gentlemen.Day: Thursday
Place: New Delhi

Prasanna Venkatesh (Juror 2) – Hey, I am a techie too mate, which technology do you work on?

Rajeev Pandey – Why? Should we discuss about your salwar and beard then?

Aftab Anwar – DON’T BRING RELIGION HERE YOU BLOODY BRAHMIN, I AM HERE FOR JURY DUTY AND NOT FOR TAKING SHIT FROM A COMMUNAL MORON LIKE YOU
Clerk: Gentlemen, I suggest that you all cool down. It is going to be a long and tiresome day and you have been assigned a very important task. I’ll bolt the door from outside and will stay right there. You have water, juices, food, cigarettes, a tea and coffee vending machine here. If you need me for anything, just knock at the door. Thank you gentlemen.

Sandeep Nair(Juror 12) – Hey..Yes…I am awake…I was waiting for all of you to settle down

Deepak Shivhare – Okay, so as the judge said that the case is quite simple. It is very clear that the Government has killed democracy. The Opposition could have stopped them but they did nothing, so it’s more of an open and shut case.

Mukesh Jha – true, all evidences testify the facts that Mr. Shivhare announced. So let’s just vote “Guilty” and let’s go back to our respective homes.

Deepak Shivhare – Perfect. Let’s do a voting. I’ll simply call you one by one and you guys have to say guilty and I’ll note your names down. After that we can call the clerk, hand the note to him and call it a day. I start with myself and I say guilty.
