There is no denying that the army is mainly responsible for the defence of the nation. It is also called upon to maintain law and order in times of severe crisis. However, we must not forget that the need to maintain law and order also arises in normal times. It is in these times that we need another force — the police — that compels citizens to obey the law and to act with due regard to the rights of others. The force also protects the lives and the properties of law-abiding citizens. (2) Laws are essentially made to secure the personal safety of the citizens of a country. They aim to prevent different types of crimes that pose a threat to the security of people and safety of their property, such as larceny, murder and numerous other illegal practices involving violence of any type. Besides ensuring security of the property of the citizens against theft and damage, laws also try to protect the rights of communities and castes to carry out their customs and ceremonies, so long as they do not conflict with the rights of others. (3) It is important to note that the enforcement of laws multiplies the duties and responsibilities of citizens towards themselves. Those among them, who can be identified as good citizens, obey these laws and take care that everything they do is done with due regard to the rights and well-being of others. Sadly, however, there are people who do not show a natural keenness to understand the true significance of laws. (4) These people, who can be called indifferent citizens, often seem to be reluctant in terms of their willingness to follow laws. Such citizens are only restrained from breaking these laws by fear of the consequence of their actions. That is why it becomes necessary for the law-enforcing agencies to take steps so that an indifferent citizen may start acting as a good citizen. (5) It is significant to note in this regard that the supreme control of law and order in a state is usually in the hands of the Home Minister who is responsible to the State Assembly. He/She is assisted by a number of bureaucrats, including the Home Secretary, besides Additional and Joint Secretaries. The Inspector General of Police, who heads the police force in a state, carries out the orders issued by the Home Ministry. He/She too has a hierarchy of police officers under him. Thus, to maintain law and order in any state, there is a complex chain of officials.

1) India is geographically diverse and offers a variety of cultures that come with their own experiences, making it one of the largest markets for travel and tourism — both international and domestic. (2) A recent survey conducted by a well-known travel company revealed surprising statistics about the status of tourism in the country. Most of the international tourists were senior citizens between the ages of 65 – 75 years while domestic tourism mostly attracted the younger age group between 40 – 55 years. (3) The reasons for these findings were many. With air travel becoming cheaper, international travel was no longer a privilege of the rich. The mystic experiences attract people from outside the country. Furthermore, the tourism department of India is also working hard to spread awareness about the rich heritage, culture, architecture, cuisine, art and craft of every state. Domestic tourism is becoming popular because of the improvement in transport infrastructure, modern railways and development of tourist sites. (4) Above all, the people of India are welcoming hosts who leave no stone unturned in their hospitality, connecting with others by creating emotional connections. In India, there is a story at every corner you turn that is filled with love, warmth, and excitement.

The Sun came up upon the left, Out of the sea came he! And he shone bright, and on the right Went down into the sea. Higher and higher every day, Till over the mast at noon —’ The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast, For he heard the loud bassoon. (The Rime of the Ancient Mariner)

The voice of my education said to me He must be killed, For in Sicily the black, black snakes are innocent, the gold are venomous. And voices in me said, If you were a man You would take a stick and break him now, and liked him off. But must I confess how I liked him, How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my water-trough (The Snake)

Louisa Mebbin’s pretty week-end cottage, christened by her ‘‘Les Fauves,’’ and gay in summer-time with its garden borders of tiger-lilies, is the wonder and admiration of her friends. ‘‘It is a marvel how Louisa manages to do it,’’ is the general verdict. Mrs. Packeltide indulges in no more big-game shooting. ‘‘The incidental expenses are so heavy,’’ she confides to the inquiring friends.
