MOB LYNCHING:

Mob lynching is a term used to describe the acts of violence targeted by a large group of people. Lynching, a form of violence in which a mob, under the pretext of administering justice , executes a presumed offender, often after inflicting torture.

Lynch law refers to self-constituted court that imposes sentence on a person without correct order of law. Mob lynching is basically a large group of people attacking on a fewer people.

STATS:

Reports indicate that, between 1882 and 1951 in United States, 4,730 persons were lynched, of whom 1,293 were white and 3,437 were black. Lynching was a part of US during the 1950s and ’60s, when civil workers and advocates were threatened and some were even killed by mobs.

CAUSES:

While there are so many reasons associated with it the main reason of it being

  • Lack of being about the consequences.
  • Lack of action taken by police and judicial system makes the mob take the right on their hand and us it accoring to their will.
  • Many mob lynching incidents occur because of cow vigilantism. 
  • Indirect support from government is another reason why still lynching exists.

HOW TO OVERCOME?

As of 2017, several people started protesting against mob lynching’s. Many movements started which also included “Not in my name” movement. Other movement named MASUKA (Manav Suraksha Kanoon) also started in 2017 to show protest against mob lynching. Later on 2018, Indian government appointed two committees to draft law on Mob lynching’s.

But, all these aren’t enough to overcome the mob lynching happening around the world. As individuals one should come forward and rise their voice against the injustice happening to their fellow brotherman.

SECTION 304:

If a mob killed some person, it will not be called a murder. It literally means if a single person kills someone, he’ll be liable for murder, but if the same crime is committed by a mob, the people be convicted under Section 304.

Section 304 – Punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. If an individual commits culpable homicide not amounting to murder, then he shall be punished with 1 or imprisonment which may extend to ten years and shall also be liable to fine.

Humanity is tested every time an unruly mob kills an innocent person. Whatever the reason is, crime is a crime and it is in the hands of each and every individual to differentiate what’s right and what’s wrong and act accordingly.

HUMANITY

Humanity is defined as the quality of being human; the unique nature of man that distinguishes him from other beings. Being human does not imply that one has humanity. If you want to know how human a person is, look at what he does for others who don’t return the favour. Mother Teresa has beautifully portrayed one of the most extraordinary examples of extra-ordinary humanity in a human being. When and whenever possible, humanity entails caring for and assisting others. 

Humanity entails putting other’s needs before your own, and putting others’ needs ahead of your own when they want assistance. Humanity entails expressing unconditional love to all living things on the planet. The following anecdote serves as an excellent illustration of humanity.

Importance of Humanity:

As humanity progresses towards the future, the true essence of humanity is increasingly distorted. It is critical to remember that actions of humanity must not be motivated by selfish benefit such as celebrity, money, or power. Borders divide the world we live in today, but our reach is infinite. We are fortunate in that we have the ability to travel wherever we choose and experience whatever we desire. Countless nations struggle incessantly over territory, resulting in the deaths of many innocent people.

Similarly, other humanitarian crises such as those in Yemen, Syria, Myanmar, and others have claimed the lives of millions of people. Because the situation is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon, humanity is required. Most importantly, humanity is concerned not only with humans but also with the environment and all living things. We must all band together to display true humanity and aid in the healing and prosperity of other humans, animals, and the environment.

Instead of fighting about democracy in other nations, we should ask ourselves if we have a voice in our own. Because power corrupts even the most strong-willed, we should exercise our right to vote and enhance the government’s procedures. Stop photographing flora and animals to show your friends and relatives. Look at the trees, animals, and natural beauty with your real eyes, not through the lens of a camera. Bring your friends and family to see the breathtaking beauties that surround us and share this beauty with them.

While technology and democracy have given us the ability to accelerate the pace of change in our society, they have also corrupted us. It has given us a sense of unlimited power and knowledge, making us feel as if we are Gods. No, we aren’t gods, and we have no power over other people’s lives. Only that right is theirs. However, we can and must alter ourselves by making informed selections, making the best life choices, and not allowing others to make our decisions for us.

The narrative of a king is an excellent illustration of mankind. When a dove and an eagle were fighting, a kind-hearted king witnessed it. He could communicate with birds and other animals. The pigeon requested the king’s assistance in escaping the eagle’s clutches. The king promised the eagle that in exchange for saving the pigeon, he would pay any price. The eagle requests from the monarch that he be given the same amount of flesh as the pigeon. The king agrees to the Eagle’s condition and begins hacking off his own flesh in proportion to the pigeon’s meat. He finds the pigeon heavier even after donating a small amount of his flesh. Finally, he gives the Eagle his entire being to consume. The Eagle and the Pigeon both transform into angels at that point, appearing on the ground to test the king’s humanity. 

For his deeds of humanity, the monarch has now been awarded with the most beautiful prizes and afterlife heaven. This narrative can be interpreted as an overblown statement intended to make people realise the importance of humanity in their daily lives. One crucial truth to remember is that “an individual’s life is measured not by the number of degrees he or she holds, but by the degree of humanitarian actions that one engages in on a daily basis.”
