True, it is the function of the army to maintain law and order in abnormal times. But
in normal times there is another force that compels citizens to obey the laws and to
act with due regard to the rights of others. The force also protects the lives and the
properties of law abiding men. Laws are made to secure the personal safety of its
subjects and to prevent murder and crimes of violence. They are made to secure the
property of the citizens against theft and damage 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.
Now the good citizen, of his own free will obey these laws and he takes care that
everything he does is done with due regard to the rights and well-being of others. But
the bad citizen is only restrained from breaking these laws by fear of the consequence
of his actions. And the necessary steps to compel the bad citizen to act as a good
citizen are taken by this force. The supreme control of law and order in a State is in
the hands of a Minister who is responsible to the State Assembly and acts through the
Inspector General of Police.
