Indian Police Act: British Rule and Claims About the Right to Self-Defense
1 min Machine translated About India Politics
The second was a law the British made, the Indian Police Act, They made the Police Act. It said that No Indian should ever do anything against the British.
To kill, beat, suppress, and crush them, they needed an agency to control them, so they set up a system called the police.
You know, before 1858, there was no police in this country.
No king had a police force. They had an army.
There was an army, not a police force. Because there was no need for the police.
Who would kill, beat, suppress, and threaten their own people?
Who does that? What king would commit such atrocities against his subjects?
But the British created the police and named it the Indian Police Act, and the principle they laid down was that every police officer would have the right to offend.
No Indian citizen would have the right to defend themselves.
Meaning, any British police officer could grab you by the throat any day and start beating you with a baton.
You won't even have the right to hold a baton.
You just have to keep getting beaten. And if you grab that police officer's baton to defend yourself, a case will be filed against you for stopping a British officer from doing his duty.
You know, this law granting the right to offend, under the Indian Police Act, is still in force even 62 years after independence.

Original transcript (Hindi)
दूसरा एक कानून अंग्रेजों ने बनाया Indian Police Act, Police Act बनाया। वो ये कि हर भारतवासी कभी भी अंग्रेजों के खिलाफ कुछ ना करे।
उसको मारकर, पीटकर, दबाकर, कुचलकर control करने के लिए एक agency चाहिए तो Police नाम की एक व्यवस्था उन्होंने खड़ी की।
आपको मालूम है 1858 से पहले इस देश में कोई Police नहीं थी।
किसी भी राजा ने Police नहीं रखी। Army रखी।
सेना होती थी, Police नहीं होती थी। क्योंकि Police की जरूरत नहीं थी।
अपने ही लोगों को मारना, पीटना, दबाना, धमकाना ये कौन करता है?
कोई राजा अपनी प्रजा को ये अत्याचार करेगा।
लेकिन अंग्रेजों ने Police बनाई जिसका नाम रखा Indian Police Act और उसमें जो आधार दिया वो ये कि हर Police वाले को right to offence होगा।
किसी भी भारतीय नागरिक को right to defence नहीं होगा।
माने कोई भी अंग्रेज Police अधिकारी किसी भी दिन गला पकड़ के आपको लाठी से मारने लगे तो आपको लाठी पकड़ने का भी अधिकार नहीं होगा।
आप सिर्फ पिटते रहिए और अगर उस Police अधिकारी की लाठी आपने पकड़ ली अपना defence करने के लिए तो case आपके खिलाफ बनेगा कि अंग्रेज अधिकारी को duty करने से आपने रोका।
जानते हैं आप। यही right to offence वाला कानून Indian Police Act वाला आजादी के 62 साल के बाद भी अभी भी चल रहा है।
