For decades, successive governments in India have failed to deliver on promises to hold the police accountable for human rights violations including arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and extrajudicial killings.

The Indian government should take major steps to build professional, rights-respecting police forces and overhaul a policing system that facilitates and even encourages human rights abuse.

Sad. Punjabis know as well as anyone what police brutality can do to a community. The Indian Army is also pretty damn guilty of human rights violations in the Northeast and Kashmir as well.
