A step forward towards internal security and peace.

                 The Supreme court of India asks the Central Government to have a re-look at the provisions of the juvenille 

law that prescribes 18 years as the age of adulthood to try persons accused of heinous crime. What deserves 
more attention in this regard, is the question of awareness and the minimum required  degree of  maturity one 

attains at the age of 18. Is this age not enough for an individual who is not deprived of his sanity, to 

discriminate civility and barbarity ?  If the answer is positive, it should be accepted that mere trying the 

juvenile or acquitting him of the guilt, is not the only solution. The evil forces playing a havoc on the 

vulnerable juveniles, cannot be overlooked. These evil forces perhaps comprise the significant factors. 

Firstly, parents are not serious about civilizing or  inculcating morals into the mind of the child. It is just like saying, "My job 

is only to give birth and bring him up. This bringing up of the child, is devoid of any morals. It is this very 

stress on morals and cautioning about the do's and the don'ts, which can reduce the juvenille cases being filed 
with the courts.

What makes matters worse, is that most teachers feel a sense of pride that they have given an unparalleled 

contribution in delivering the concepts. But, their teaching is hardly mulled with any morals. Again, it should 

be taken care of the fact that mere teaching may not mould the pupils. If the teacher fails to inspire the pupil, 

his teaching can be considered ineffective. It is the centre of learning, not the prison, where there is a lot of 

scope for moulding the child or to instill civility. Civility is a cultivation of tender treatment but not force. It is 

the parents and teachers who have the lion's share in bringing forth civilized people into the society. Again, it 

is the parents and the teachers who can, with their carelessness, unleash trained students, who have little to 

do with morality. If these trainers, parents and teachers, do the extra-mile journey and instill the essence of 

morality, the child might flinch in committing not only a heinous but also hesitate to commit even a small 

crime. Hence, rhe root cause of the juvenile crime has to be observed. Then, it would not be the degree of 

awareness that would draw our attention but the carelessness that has crept in bringing up of the child. If the 

parents and teachers introspect, they can realize their duty. This would an end to this debatable problem.

                                       A good teacher is not the person who teaches but inspires.
