The notion of human right builds on our shared humanity. These rights are not derived from the citizenship of any country, or the membership of any nation, but are presumed to be claims or entitlements of every human being. They differ, therefore, from constitutionally created rights guaranteed for specific people.
-Dr Amartya Sen, in his book The Idea of justice
An honest, humble, & loyal citizen of India is paying the price of being a true Indian, serving a life sentence awarded to him by Honourable High Court of Delhi. The charges established in the case include alleged hijacking & possible threat of life & property. What becomes important here is the notion that a crime was committed or not, and the world knows including the passengers on board that no crime was committed, but the irony is that the stiff laws have judged him in poor light of the pre assumptions that the crime would have been committed, while it never happened by virtue of the alleged criminal himself.
Hari Singh never intended to do what exactly he has been punished for, and he never did it. Hari Singh had known the value of human life & the importance of being human in a pre-NGO era, when social wasn’t a status symbol. Hari Singh just wanted to be the Indian he knew at all, recollecting the heroic stories of freedom fighters, full of charisma & bravery. Hari Singh became the revolutionary with hopes of saving a nation but ended up becoming an estranged political prisoner, as judged by the law of land. Hari Singh did it all with a noble cause but today he is spending his life away from the mainstream, in a prison. Is it all that we have for a true Indian, who realized the value of being loyal to his motherland?
He fought for humans, he fought for rights & it’s ironical to learn that his own human rights haven’t been safeguarded and he is being seen as a culprit who never committed a crime, a man of Gandhian thought, he has been made captive for being a revolutionary who raised his voice against Injustice. He is paying dearly for being the Indian he truly is, and has always been. At 37, he risked his life for country without caring about the consequences, at 57; he is struggling for justice to be done with him. Hari Singh’s family needs the India, he fought for. Help them to help him win in this war against injustice. Justice for Hari Singh.

One law, one word can change a person's life. Kanoon is blind and no one can deny. One thing here is, Hari Singh needs proper justice no matter what it is.
