Let’s doff our caps to the cops: Dr Birbal Jha

A group discussion on the role of police in our society was held at British Lingua, an internationally acclaimed institute for English communication skills, on 21st October 2024, the occasion of Police Commemoration Day.

Speaking on the occasion, noted author and managing director of British Lingua, Dr Birbal Jha, said, “Our policing system enables us to sleep like a log, entrusting police administration with the responsibility of keeping an eye on our possessions, safety, security, and the maintenance of law and order within the jurisdiction they are employed or deployed.”

“Further, their jobs include protecting the public, maintaining public safety, investigating incidents, preventing crime, responding to calls for help, responding to emergencies, maintaining a community presence and so on.” added Dr Birbal Jha, who is credited with creating a revolution in English skills training in India.

While commending the valour of police, Dr Birbal Jha averred, “We must respect their courage in putting their lives in danger to defend us from any harm, threat, or assault within the territory. Thanks to their employment, deployment, and valour, we are safe and secure and can walk freely on the roads.”

“We must doff our caps to the cops, working day and night throughout the country in recognition of their services, bravery, and professional commitment. Furthermore, we are obligated to observe Police Commemoration Day on 21 October to send the message of gratitude and encouragement to the civil force of a state, responsible for the prevention and detection of crime and the maintenance of public order.” said an emotional Dr Jha.

While citing the role of police in the justice delivery system, Dr Jha asserted, “In addition to functioning as a law enforcement agency, security personnel under the police department of Home Affairs safeguard us from infringement and violations of our rights and investigate matters to a logical conclusion to ensure that justice is done.”

Sharing his opinions on the current spate of moral policing Dr Jha, categorically said, “Allow the police to work in conformity with the established laws. Problems arise when moral police, or vigilante groups, in our country begin to enforce a moral code under moral policing in which they regard the actions of the government, police, or people as immoral or contrary to Indian culture.”

Remaining unbiased to any religious practice Celebrity Author Dr Birbal Jha opined, “Sharia police or Islamic religious police is yet another challenge to be dealt with. It poses a threat to the social fabric and police administration to allow enacted laws to prevail.”

“Moreover, people must have their choices as to what to wear and what not to. The suitability and comfortability of dresses can’t be judged by someone else. However, fashion police often come into the picture, criticising others’ styles of clothing.”, attacking on fashion policing, Dr Birbal Jha held.

“People’s faith in the system is restored when they call the police and use their services when they are needed, and the police department responds to the state of affairs quickly and impartially.” concluded Dr Birbal Jha, founder of British Lingua.
